Ok, I need help. When disposition is low what do you do? So far I understand that I have to be close to hospital. But how much? Should I go to province with hospital or is it enough to be in province that has hospital coverage or can I be in a province next to those? Does supply level helps or harms dispositon?

Please answer ASAP because I am playing right now

Thanks

Hospitals can get Disposition up to "Normal," but not beyond that. Generals (good generals, that is) are the key to raising disposition further.

Hospitals are supposed to be able to improve disposition of troops in contact by rail, so you don't necessarily have to go to that province. So, for example, if there are hospitals in Lynchburg, Richmond and/or Norfolk and the ANV is in Shenandoah those hospitals should help to restore units' disposition. (That said, based on my PBEM game I'm a bit suspicious that maybe this isn't happening, so I'd be grateful if someone can confirm that it's working right.)

I don't recall whether supply levels will boost disposition, but if supplies are out then this will most certainly hurt disposition.

Thank you Gil. Basicly you are not 100% sure either?

I read the manual once, and that was enough for me!

when you are on the map, look at the mini map, there are little letters to the side of it, click on H, and it will show the effects/range of your hosp net

, there are upgrades you can get to improve it and you can build more then one, as they stack

well, here is the supply info, which you can see, my one Army is out of supply and it will effect them in combat and depending on how the battles goes, they may lower there Desp based on supply, but may gain something due to winning battles ?

which the game will end when I click end turn, so can not follow though and see what happens next turn

Sarge. Got any tips on how much is "enough"? I've had as much as "36" Hospital Coverage in the Washington area, and still gotten clobbered by "desease". Are their some "break points"after which investment isn't worth the costs?

Brigades that can't consume their 2 levels of standard supply each turn have a 50% of losing a level of disposition. This loss of disposition does not happen for brigades that can't pay their weapon upkeep costs. Also note that putting brigades in garrison (fort/city) removes the need for the unit to consume this supply.
