Supply from capital cities . . .

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?

It has just registered with me that Koenigsberg has a "star" symbol too - so does that city give supply up to 30 hexes too even though it is not the capital of Germany? If so, it would take the supply range nearly up to Archangel! :shock:

Anyone? Do all starred cities give supply for 30 hexes even though they are not actually the capital city e.g. Skopje, Edinburgh, Omsk etc? :?

Yes, all capital cities gives 30 hexes (I tried Helsinki and Tsaritsyn).
