The Three Moves Ahead podcast had a recent episode talking about this classic SSG strategy game that got me to take a second look at cracking the rules and interface.

None of the Decisive Battles series forums have had a post in months, so I thought I might have better luck here.

Playing through the Operation Husky scenario, I have multiple elements of the Hermann Goering SS Panzer Division and a Fallschirmjager division isolated. I'm not quite clear on the supply rules though:

* Will those units run out of supply/bullet-icons by themselves if I don't attack them? They're holed up in hills hexes and they're not in "red supply" yet so it's going to be bloody if I try to assault, but if I can't get them to consume their ammo any other way I may as well just suck up the losses.

* If I do need to attack to use up their supply, will any sort of attack suffice, or do they have to take losses? Very low odds attacks can yield nothing (*-* results on the CRT), which is fine by me if it works.
