Supply unit activation during enemy action

Post by Orm »

Can you activate a supply unit during enemy action? And how do you do it if it is possible?

The rule states that the supply unit can be activated at any time (if the conditions for use is met).

For example, if a HQ is OOS, and it is stacked with an fighter, and a supply depot, and an enemy ground strikes the HQ hex, how do you activate the supply to use the fighter to intercept?

Always wondered how to do it... if it is implemented.

I don't think this can be done without editing the file before and after. Possibly the debug version could do it.

I don't have a saved game with a supply unit stacked with an HQ. But try to right click on the HQ (or the supply unit) the moment you would fly the fighter to intercept. That was the solution made to fix HQ emergency supply and it also got proposed to apply this for the use of the supply unit. Don't know if that one has been implemented, however.
