I've read the FAQ above and the manual concerning logistics and still have a question. If you have one of your LCU (such as an infantry brigade) on a road as in Burma, which is not a base hex, does that 'interdict' supply on that road? Example, moving a unit northeast of Rangoon, will supply to Rangoon then have to go cross-country or be brought into via ship? If both sides have units in a non-base road/trail hex, does supply get interdicted? Thanks in advance!

Supplies flow along road/rail/trail network. If your unit cannot trace a path, it doesn't get new supplies and will eventually run out.

Thanks, so a unit cannot trace supply THROUGH an enemy occupied non-base hex?

Correct, but they might be able to trace supplies AROUND an occupied hex. Need to carefully calculate the distances.
