Re: FMA Brigade

I often wondered if you couldn't implement supply in a way similar to
command control. 

Make up some truck units with minimal combat capability and normal
movement. Any unit within x range of the truck park, after the trucks
have been immobile for at least x time (representing set-up of the
supply depot) are considered in-supply. Any unit outside that range,
or if the trucks engaged in movement or combat, must roll to see if it
is out of ammo (or whatever). 

Of course, this would force players to defend their supply bases and
convoys a bit more seriously...
