dave sindel -> Is Manila cut off ? (12/1/2017 9:26:48 PM)

As a relative newbie, I'm still learning about hexside control. Here is a screenshot of the territory surrounding Manila. It appears to my inexperienced eyes that I have Manila completely cut-off from being re-supplied. Is that an accurate assessment?

Supply should be able to move across the ocean hex side from Bataan.

The hex-side to the East of Manila is colored red so they can retreat that way (probably a good thing since Manila has stronger defensive terrain). Unless they unloaded a big amphibious convoy in that hex they're not going to get many beans or bullets from that hex though.

They will not retreat east because it does not have a clear supply path to a Japanese base.
Only a very small amount of supply will move automatically each turn from Bataan to Manila across the bay. He could use barges to move a lot more, but it costs supply to create the barges and he has to have over 10K supply to start with.

Manila is most definitely not cut off.  It has a valid supply path to Vigan and can also receive supply from the adjacent port of Bataan.  Japanese troops can retreat due east of Manila.

Edit: Apologies to all. I misread a hexside of hex 80/77. There is no overland supply path back to Vigan.



BBfanboy -> RE: Is Manila cut off ? (12/2/2017 7:17:51 AM)

I don't understand how they can move east if there is no valid supply path. I see the red hex side but the hex to the east of Manila is itself isolated so there should be no supply route through there. What am I missing here?



Alfred -> RE: Is Manila cut off ? (12/2/2017 7:31:16 AM)

There is a valid supply path.  The value is 20.

Alfred

Edit. My apology I misread a hexside and you are correct hex 80/77 is not connected to hex 81/76. There is therefore no overland supply path back to Vigan.

Thanks to everyone who responded, and thanks to Alfred for the clarification.

There is something rotten in the state of Denmark when the 2 most knowledgeable experts on this game disagree! [X(]
