Hello

I know there have been some changes to the original rule set regarding Leningrad supply and ports.

My question is what do you have to do these days to cut off supply to that city? Can Narva or Talinin supply the place if the rail lines east of the city have been cut off?

Hi Wardortch,

Leningrad can get supply by sea but only if a route can be traced from it to a port on the Baltic that has a link to either Murmansk (off map, due north) or to the Moscow/Gorki line.

If cut off by sea, and land, it will auto generate a small amount of supply each turn. Enough for a garrison but insufficient for multiple units.

Cheers,
Cameron

Thanks Cameron.

Will let you know if my perhaps foolish attempt to cut the city off works!

Hello Cameron.

The dash to cut off Leningrad did not work, which has prompted very careful review of the supply sections of the manual.

Basic question which is not exactly clear in the Supply Section is this: Is supply delivered to a player at the start of a roundor at the start of the player turn within the round?

Thanks!

Its delivered at the start of the player turn. Before any hexes are swapped due to only one side having units near them as far as I can tell.

Hi,

Yep, it's at the start of the Player turn.

However there is one particular wrinkle that can trip you up. A unit can be out of supply at the start of the turn (check the small coloured box on the unit counter) but you can't see why that's the case. What can happen is that the a Soviet unit will have interdicted the supply route during their turn and moved away leaving a Soviet controlled hex messing up your supply situation.

At the start of the German turn supply is calculated and the soviet controlled hex is taken into account. But AFTER the supply calc's the hex will revert back to German control (because the Soviet unit had moved away) and display as a German hex making it hard to see what had happened unless you had a close look at the turn History. The internal 'start turn' sequence of events has supply being calculated before who controls a hex is update.

Cheers,
Cameron

Hello and thanks for this feedback.

Any plan to put the hot steam iron to this wrinkle or is that a big deal to do?

And it figures that Isokron the Terrible knew this already

Hi wardorth,

The iron will probably have to stay in the cupboard for this one. If you've got any doubts, best to check the history playback. You'll be able to see your lines being cut.

Cheers,
Cameron
