Status: offline 		all of a sudden when mudd sets in, a lot of my axis forces are isolated close to Leningrad and in the South. Any help? There is no enemy hex or enemy unit in the rear. Or I cannot find them...

Status: offline 		They are not necessarily "isolated" but are out of command range. Keep in mind that the mud increases the movement costs and thus affects the distance a unit can be from its higher command and still be in range.

Status: offline 		I seriously need help. As soon snow falls, units get yello and when mud returns, it is all red again and i dont see the reason. Some of these units have 240% fuel and most more tahn 50% supplies. So thats not the point. What is going on??

Status: offline 		IIRC you must be more than 50 SP from the nearest railhead.

What does the SP number say on a mouse over?

SP means supply path

Status: offline 		If you mouse over a unit the info box will show "off road" MPs. If this number is more than 100 you will be outside the supply range from the nearest rail head.

I am surprised this is happening to units near Leningrad, as you should have got the rail heads close to the city by turn 18.

Status: offline 		The first time this happen to me I was not very happy about units with some decent ammo/supplies/fuel losing 3/4 or more of their CV just because they were out range because of the mud. Now that I know it's easier to plan for. But if you're not ready it can be a big problem and catch you off guard and give your opponent a chance to strike at the weakened units.

Just before mud, check your farthest HQs and make sure their supply path is less than 25mp.
