unit truck use

Post by tonyscrase »

Rule 5.2.1 the hex pop up box seems to give a good explanation of all items in the hex pop up (including supply details if the logistics button is on) apart from "unit truck use"
I had presumed this was the number of vehicles in units used as there were not enough in the depot.

Example this is an extreme example but there are lots of similar examples

Belfort depot
sent out 2,489
unit truck use 194,694

so 194,694 unit trucks were used to get 2,489 supplies !!!
It was supplying 7 units and if you look at the Vehicles used in the unit detail supply page

unit Vehicles used
156th reg none
35 infantry div 7
83 infantry div 88
44 infantry div none
5 infantry div none
29 infantry div none
45 infantry div none

so if we add up all the trucks used in the unit detail supply of each unit supplied by Belfort it is 95
where as the pop up hex detail for belfort is showing 194,694

Obviously I have not understood something !!!!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND ALL THE PLAYERS WHO HAVE HELPED ME ON EARLIER QUESTIONS
