Everything is in manual.

:tumbleweed:

There are no line of supplies within the game. As long as you have the resources to feed its maintenance there will be no decrement to the unit with respect to supply.

There are no supply line, although the unit is in very bad spot surrounded.

Yes what happen when that unit is in an province what is surrounded by the enemy

It just mean you can't send reinforcement to help your surrounded province.

They really need to add a supply line mechanic to this game, it'd make battles much more important/strategic.

The supply line mechanic will be hard to implement, in real life logistics is the most difficult job with all the distance involve to supply troops.

When an province is not connect to an other province from the same country because the province is captured by the enemy then you can say the supply line is cut off. so then the army have also no daily upkeep because off the cut off.

The supply line mechanic have not been implemented...yet...hopefully

If a unit is cut off that's one thing, but if a whole province is cut off it'd be easy enough to send resources via air and naval supply lines. Gibraltar, for instance, isn't connected to the British aisles, but it gets its resources through the sea. Even West Berlin got it's supplies through the air when the Soviets cut off ground access.

What if you had interceptors patrolling the airspace above and/or around the province, therefore reducing the chances of an airdrop making it into the province? Also consider naval blockades, such as Cuba being surrounded by ships, so it can't receive any supply drops or trades.

If you think about it, supply will be cut by such actions naval blockade and air dominance, so yes it can be block if blocked properly

It'd also be nice if you had outposts that would slow enemy movement. If unmanned, they would still have barbed wire, tank blockades, mines, etc. It could be put around the enemy province, as if to prevent any escape.

You get through an unguarded minefield pretty damn easy and barbed wire isn't a problem either, just bring some pliers or use your bayonet.

It would slow the enemy advance because they have to slow down and use mine detectors, then blow them up and move on. With barbed wire you have to stop, place a stick bomb, blow it up and move on. Don't forget you also have tank barricades that would slow tanks down because they have to find an alternate route.

I like the idea but leaving it undefended is pretty stupid, everyone would be very relaxed and strolling alone, doing their jobs quickly since they don't have to duck and dodge bullets.

I'm just saying, I wouldn't leave my outposts undefended unless it's deep within my territory. All I'm saying is that it could be a mechanic that slows enemy advances.

I think we can put this thread to rest, there's a supply line suggestion in the forum, which will relate this to that.
