Re-Supply of Arty batteries

[Jean Lafitte]

The Grog Toolbar has a button for that, but, how does this happen in the Stock Game?

Also, I find that the Ammo Wagons for the batteries do not follow their clients at all! Why does the battery have to run across half of the battlefield to find the ammo wagons? Are the ammo wagon drivers Union men who are on a work slow-down or on Strike?

Supply button is on the Context Menus, 'Stand' I believe.

The Ammo Wagon moves to and shadows the Division Commander, TC it to move it where you wish. But be careful, once TC'd it won't evade capture.

Reb, often there's no time to TC wagons, with so much going on elsewhere.

Are you saying that the ammo wagon will automatically follow the Division Commander? If so, then, I'll work on paying closer attention to Division Commanders.

In the stock game, leaders are somewhat suicidal in that they seem to walk right into enemy lines, but, that's a topic for a separate thread! Thanks.

Ammo Wagons will go to the guns automatically when the pieces go under a specific limit of ammunitions, ohterwise they will reacht he division commander. There're of course specific requirements (the check on guns is done when the wagon is standing and the guns must be not under enemy immediate danger).

Furthermore, when guns run out of canister ammo, rather than auto resupply they will fallback and maintain a 200+ yards range away from the enemy and use other kinds of ammo. Then, when that runs low they will auto supply. IOW, manual resupply is necessary to maintain adequate canister ammo.
