Given somebody is playing an Operation or a Campaign, supply is important.

For years people have asked that “if there is a break through my BG might bump into an enemy supply column and I can shoot it up!

Supply comes from supply dumps on the edge of the map. My proposal is that a supply dump only pushes supply 2 maps in every direction.

There would be BG’s named “Supply battlegroups”. These BGs also push supply 2 maps in all directions. The player moves then around the strategic map to keep his front line troops in supply.

If the enemy breaks through and destroys the BG, obviously it can no longer provide supply and the front line troops are in trouble!

The movement type for a supply unit would be designated “wheeled”

In this proposal Can the enemy benefit from acquiring the supplies belonging to the supply BG?


Or is this just getting too far down the micro management chain...next stop factories and pregnant mothers rearing the soldiers of tomorrow.

In Atomic's World At War series, destroying a HQ counter/unit could result in supplies being captured. Another positive aspect of the HQ counter/unit was that subordinate units would have supply diminish with distance from their HQ.

Might be a bit too detailed for CC but worth discussing....

Maybe if you are out of supply (no fuel) it would be nice to be unable to use any tanks or any vehicle.
Or at least you could be forced to use a 5-10% of the total of your vehicles/tanks displayed on your forcepool, and if you deploy all this 5-10% you can be sure that all of them, will be able to move them in your next battle.

CC3 and COI have vehicles that can get frozen engines and can't move.

CC4?, CC5 and WAR do track fuel and when you are low some of your vehicles will not have fuel when the battle starts.
