I am also under the impression that a unit that goes low on ammo from firing can only resupply from it's parent hq and if it is not on the map there is no possibility of resupply....also those units do not check against base supply..........if they do why bother to put any hqs in at all.............just let all the units check against the base ammo level and if it is like 80% that's better than the 50% range of most hqs.........this must be a change from the original cs supply rules and if it is it will impact the game big time. Not argueing just trying to figure out what I thot I had spent years figuring out before :-)

No, it is the same supply system as before. I think the CS manual didn't explain it properly, hence the general confusion.

If a Battalion HQ is low on ammo, it will perform a check against the Regiment HQ (if present), if the Regiment isn't there, it will use the Division.

If it passes, the Battalion HQ will regain supply.

If it fails, it will conduct another check against the base ammo level.

If it passes, the Battalion HQ will regain supply.

If it fails, the Battalion HQ will remain out of supply for the turn.

This is why I prefer to have low base ammo levels in my scenarios and campaigns, to ensure the player is using the supply system properly. Having full HQ's with an 80+ base ammo level is pretty pointless.

I took a different approach. When I was told that one of my scenarios "sucked" I named my next scenario files "this really sucks". It's one way to do it?

Are your "circle" all ladder members?''

Nah, got plenty of thick skin, just comes down to respect in my book for others' efforts.
Not sure what my 'circle' has to do with the subject of the thread really?
Anyway, think I've already made the point in post No.44?

I do believe that is correct..and once out of supply in this manner they can only regain supply thru the HQ.......and I think it has to be the parent HQ.

Assuming you are referencing a HQ unit, than this:

"Like a normal combat unit, the Headquarters first checks supply based on the distance from its parent Headquarters; however, if that supply check fails, it then checks using the base ammo level listed for its side." - page 93 User Manual
