Running out of ammo?

[Yogi the Great]

One of the problems I'm having a lot for all units is that they run out of ammo. Kind of hard to press on when many of your planes, tanks and Infantry all get the red out of ammo simple. Note these units are in supply connection they just don't have ammo.

Usually if I reinforce the unit it shows ammo again at least for a turn, but even if the not used to attack it is out of ammo again. If they are at full strength and out of ammo, I don't see a way to get it to them.

Anyway, is there something I'm missing or anything I can do to keep more units with ammo?

Something is not right in your game - ammo is automatically replenished at the start of your turn if the unit is in supply (ie not encircled)

Planes - should never run out of ammo. Assuming they attack once they still have enough ammo for several more fights...the AI would literally need to send 4-6 fighters at 1 plane to reduce its ammo to 0. And even then it should be fully reloaded in your turn.

Tanks & Infantry should also have adequate ammo unless they are being attacked mulitple times in one turn. You do need to watch tanks if they go on an over run spree though!

The only units I've had run out of ammo so far in my 1st campaign (about to finish road to Moscow scenario) are Artillery when they support fire several times and tanks when they've been on an over run rampage (and this has only happened once)

Thanks - Looks like I didn't understand the Red Shell above units (believe attack move) but often with it lit it did not show any luck most often 0/0 loss result. When I reinforce the red shell would no longer be red. So in short what I thought was a warning that you had no ammo was for something else. Still not sure why the red shell shows or not and just what it means to what I can do.

Well the red "shell" indicates that the unit still has its attack action for the turn. Next to it the green bit means the unit still has its move action.

When you reinforce you use both of these actions up - that's why it disappears.

If you are seeing combat predictions (even 0v0) then the unit has ammo as you can't attack without ammo at all!

What are you trying to attack and with what? You don't often see no predicted loses at all unless both units are already very weak!

Perhaps the units in question are heavily suppressed; that the combat prediction says 0/0 suggests that this might be the case. I think the breakpoint for red is 75% of the strength suppressed, at which point most units will inflict few if any casualties.

Could be on to something there - some screenshots might be helpfull

The red indicator says 'this unit has attack option' not 'this unit has no ammo'

The indicator for ammo capacity are the little white dots on the unit plate, the ammo count in the bottom left of the UI.

Units only to get attack once per turn, unless a hero or overrun is in play.
