From manual :
Personnel reinforcement and vehicle repairs
Vehicles are repaired by repair platoons ( icon.) Repair platoon includes a few repair teams; each team can repair a vehicle or a single heavy weapon per turn (4-8 man-hours.) Teams automatically repair vehicles and guns up to 2 cells away. For an encircled platoon, the distance is 1 cell only.
NOTE! You can't use vehicles and guns in a battle if they are being repaired.
Vehicles can also be repaired by their crews. A four-man tank crew with 25% experience: 0.5 man-hours; 50%: 1.3 man-hours; 75% 2 man-hours. A six-man gun crew with 25% experience: 0.8 man-hours; 50%: 2 man-hours; 75% 3.2 manhours. An exhausted (or wounded) crew works much slower. An encircled squad works 2 times slower.
March platoons marked with serve as reinforcements. A conscript platoon includes several rookie units. Platoons in the adjacent cells are reinforced automatically. A used up conscript platoon is disbanded. You can set repair and reinforce priorities by a left click on unit's icon in the list. An exclamation mark will appear and the unit will be reinforced before the others. Left click again to remove the priority. Supply trucks and transport aircrafts bring ammunition and fuel from static depots . Platoons in the adjacent cells are resupply automatically.
Personnel of conscript platoons (as well as of repair and supply teams) can fight but they are equipped with light weapons only and are almost useless in a combat. If a conscript unit or repair team is destroyed, your reinforcement and repair possibilities decrease.
Transport planes can move over the whole of the battlefield (to neutral and allied cells) but only once; after that, a permanent depot appears at their landing point.
hope it helps
EDIT: Supply greatly matters in the game, if you use heavily the panzers they will run out of ammo quickly, they are essential in this game.
