If you have time, I'd be most interested in the details of the mechanics of the supply/logistics as I am looking for something similar myself - and always happy to nick other people's ideas!<br /><br />SimonSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16685946344478456214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650770985225450559.post-76529958309240959992020-05-03T16:50:12.061-07:002020-05-03T16:50:12.061-07:00Thanks Geordie.

Both sides had a supply column represented by a vehicle (the Germans by a large half track. The German was located close by Pt112, close by the place a Soviet rifle battalion forced a river crossing. Although they were close by, that battalion never became a real threat to that column. I don't think I added a 'Strength Point' value, though. Possibly adding a nominal value similar to that of the command HQ might have been an idea.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />IonArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650770985225450559.post-73060976187807072012020-05-03T09:11:16.091-07:002020-05-03T09:11:16.091-07:00A great narrative.

I think that system will be used whether I play PW, Hexblitz, or Megablitz type of games. This will require slight changes, but nothing hugely drastic. the parent game systems will always be recognisable, I think. <br /><br />And, yes, I have got a LOT of mileage out of that piece of plywood!
