I have just read a little more on what you have written. You say that truck has not moved since the previous turn. Presuming that the weather hasn't changed (thereby altering supply resistance from the truck to the edge of the world), then something HAS changed. I believe you when you say that there was no interdiction but are you can you claim that everywhere in this turn? For instance, maybe in the last turn the truck had to trace back through some thirty hexes or so to get to a supply edge? This would obviously have an affect on the resistance hence supply.

I find it useful to learn to see the map as a road netowork. This is vital because you then start to see natural areas of attack (and dwefence) based on who it will choke an opponenets supply network. A clever german player can use of combination of techniques to stranglke a russian quite easily.

When playing, force youself to use the truck supply button a lot. Use it in conjunction with the remove unit function. After a while the units nearly become secondary to the road network.

In fact, when playing, I am not lying when I say that I try to 'massage' groups of units along supply routes, with all else being secondary. Any attack I make that takes units more than 3 hexes away from a road I think carefully of, and plan where there next supply is likley to come from etc.
