Supply Consumption by LCUs - 1/9/2010 11:06:57 PM

Gents,

Is there a way to calculate supply consumption per day by LCUs?

I am interesting in Japanese requirements for:

Infantry Regiment in Rest/Reserve/Combat (without bombardment)
Infantry Brigade
Infantry Division.

I know that it might depend on CiC skills but what is a range?

Any clues or guidelines?

1 per month per device if in any mode

doubles if they are in active combat

0.5 per device per day for disabled devices

Which is exactly given under supply Req on the LCU screen.

Actual combat is a combat mode with an enemy unit in the same hex I suppose.

Correct me if im wrong: INF DIV of AV 440 with supply requirements of 950 planned for a 1 month combat should have around 1800 (calculating possible combat loses) supplies at disposal. Not much.

Thank You!

that was a typo disabled are per month as well - an actual combat can cost more than 2 per month so be carefull as there are various checks through the shooting phases that can incur more supply but as a rule of thumb the above is close - in really intense combat supply usage can go up dramatically though especially if you have a lot of disabled devices getting repaired in turn and lots of arty firing

You really mean per day on the disabled devices?

Does a game differ supply needs between nations?
There were a well known and documented discrepency between Japanese and Allied.

PLUS:

What is a usage of supply per Art unit per day of bombardment? It was increased right? What is a number now?
