Supply from capital cities . . .
Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2013 2:09 pm
At the moment it has a maximum distance of 30 hexes and I was wondering if that was too far? It means that Berlin can actually supply its armies to the north of Petrograd! Is this credible? Maybe it should be 25 hexes with a minus 5 penalty in winter?
There is a slightly odd contrast between the Berlin/Petrograd example and Cairo/Constantinople inasmuch as Entente forces go to half supply when they get to within 3 or 4 hexes of Constantinople. This really blocks them unless they have artillery yet there doesn't seem to be any real reason why their forces wouldn't be able to advance at full strength on Constantinople (given that they must have defeated the Ottoman army decisively to have reached that far). Whereas the terrain and climate in Russia would be more difficult than in Anatolia, I should think. Maybe Jerusalem could become a "capital city" for the Entente (instead of Cairo, perhaps) once they had held it for 5 turns, or something like that anyway?
