Re-Supply Problem

Post by DeckelT »

6/C/1 of the 4th Cav is out of TOWs when you look at the Staff tab on it's Unit Dashboard. Using the Recover Supply & Readiness order only allows readiness to be increased as % Supply is not selectable and listed at 85% as the current load. Was there a change to the ability to re-supply recon units?

I've played this scenario before but this is the first under the 2.1.4.8794 update. The unit is only 5 hexes from it's Hq and as a recon unit that shouldn't matter anyway.

I tried attaching a save file but my new Windows 11 says that .cav is an invalid file extension and won't let me post it.

It's not win11. You need to zip the save files up to post them. That does look like a bug and I will log it for the team so we can fix it.
OTS is looking forward to Southern Storm getting released!

At the end of the next order phase, 6-C-1 4th Cav has increased its supply of TOWs to 14. It seems then that resupply is occuring even though the player is unable to alter the time, etc. I have attached a save file.

Did the unit go into the Resupply mode during the turn?

I have included two save files from the last two turns of the scenario.

6/C/1 never showed the R indicating it was resupplying during the following turn. Over several turns it has increased to 14 of 24 TOWs but not to the 20 of 24 that is the normal load for the scenario. During the insuing turns I have not moved 6/C/1 either. If I try to acces Rest and Resupply for it, I still get no access to minutes in the Recover Supply and Rediness dialog box.

4/C/1, 2/C/1, and 8/C/1 of the 4th wouldn't allow access to Rest and Resupply but after the the next turn I could access Rest and Resupply for 2 and 8 but not 4/C/1. 8/C/1 was not showing Rest and Resupply as a choice on the orders menu for Reuspply 3 but now is on Resupply 4 because seemingly because its HQ moved with in 20 hexes on the next turn. 7/C/1 4th Cav which is the other tank unit of 4th Cav has had no problem with resupply.

What I tried and what seemed to work for 2nd and 8th C/1 but not 4th was to go each unit's Dashboard Orders list, right click on the an order, select Rest and Resupply from the order menu drop down, Cancel the Recover Supply and Readiness dialog box and then seeing that Apply and Cancel under the Orders list for each unit were activated I pressed Apply. No R's appeared durning play but in the my next order phase I was able to select Rest and Resupply and make a selection of how many minutes to give for resupply in the normal fashion. This doesn't seem to work for 4/C/1 and 6/C/1.

Also, the problem seems confined to units of the 4th Cav. The Scouts of 3-34 which are Bradleys have no problem accessing the Rest and Resupply order.
