not 100% sure anymore but I think the minor ones only provide half rations of ammo. think also there is a limit to the number of units that can draw from one supply dump, and less so from a smaller one.
bear in mind this is "best guess" and vague memories, my cc4 and 5 manuals went AWOL ages ago

You can download manuals from Closecombatseries.net
The problem is that I didn't find answer in these manuals :no2
And the information is critical for me...

The big supply depots provide supply to any map with an uncontested path to that supply map.
The small supply depots only provide supply to a unit that is on that uncontested minor supply map.
Mind you that things vary from mod to mod, but generally speaking that's their functions.
Also note that in Stalingrad mod minor supply depots serve absolutely no purpose whatsoever.

So I can set only one big deport on the whole map and it wiil provide full supply to all battlegroups with an uncontested path to that supply map. Is it correct ?

#7: Author: poli, Location: The NetherlandsPosted: Thu Mar 30, 2006 4:24 pm hmm great info.
So i could set up an op with only 1 or 2 minor supply depots - and force players to move thier BG's there for a quick "fill up"...
#8: Author: Pzt_Wruff, Location: Pzt Befehl HauptsitzPosted: Thu Mar 30, 2006 7:02 pm That's right. That's a good use for the minor depots. Placing one behind enemy lines for a cut off BG to get a quick fill up. A little island of hope behind enemy lines, or a remote area.
Depends on what you're looking for in your op design.
