I just had a strange game with AI supplying new units which should not have been there.
The only areas still held by Allies at that time were Verviers, Hingeon, Orel, Dinant and Marche.
1. Verviers was surrounded by my troops but holding with 2 stacks vs my 3 stacks.
Allies AI supplied a third stack with even me being on the same patch. Under DOM this is not possible...
2. I shared Verviers with Allies and held Arlon with no hostile neighborhood left. Verviers was still green but cut off except north corner out of map.
AI supplied 75 inf (which is supposed to show up in Verviers but that was full with 3 allied stacks) in Hingeon and 2 Arm (which was supposed to show in Arlon!) also in Hingeon.
As Arlon and the whole southern part was long conquered by my Axis it makes absolutely no sense to me that 2 Arm shows up at the opposite end of the map. As 2nd Arm is a 7 pip elite-tank monster this changes the game significantly...
What are the exact rules for supply?

Re: Supply rules for Allies
Do you mean reinforcements?
As for the rules, be sure you select Full Rules in Help (the Rules Summary gives the basics but not always every detail). They say, “If the space is friendly-controlled but contested, the unit appears as normal.â€
Reinforcements can be displaced, which may be what was happening in the south.

Re: Supply rules for Allies
Thanks for your reply, David.
Yes, I mean reinforcements (sorry I am no English native speaker).
1. ok got that - different rule in DOM as it seems
2. what about this one - 2nd Arm shows up in Hingeon instead of Arlon?
I usually take the whole bottom row of the map as quick as possible to avoid reinforcements there. If I manage before 23rd and hold they don't show up at all (this is the key to win the Axis game) If not - Arlon Reinforcements may arrive somewhere between Arlon and Sedan which is somehow acceptable but Arlon <-> Hingeon...?
If I am not wrong the rules say you cannot leave the map on one side and return on the opposite side - that's what AI does here.
The calendar does not make a lot of sense if units pop up everywhere but where they are supposed to...

Re: Supply rules for Allies
No one else has the same issues.
Re: Supply rules for Allies
2nd Armored shows up in Liege, not Arlon, thus you can't block this unit by controlling the southern edge of the map.
Re: Supply rules for Allies
2nd and 3rd. Armoured where North of the Bulge, the only "tank heavy" US arm. Divs, after Kasserine pass desaster with the 1st. Arm. Div.Dsinaik wrote:2nd Armored shows up in Liege, not Arlon, thus you can't block this unit by controlling the southern edge of the map.
Note to developer: both were equally strong, so why is only 2nd. Arm. Elite???
Major-General Maurice Rose ( Cmdr. 3rd. Armoured Div.) would turn in his grave, if his"Spearhead Div." would be a "non" elite force!!
