There are two types of supply represented in the East Front Series. The first is General Supply, and the other is called Attack Supply. General Supply represents the constant stream of food, fuel, bullets and other necessities required in keeping an army in the field. Attack Supply represents an accumulation of supplies, present on the ground near combat units, to be used for for intensive offensive combat operations - supplies like a large cache of artillery shells, large amounts of bullets, grenades, etc. Units need to be in General Supply to avoid various penalties, such as reduced mobility. Units need Attack Supply in order to perform to their top capability in combat. Attack Supply is represented on the map by supply counters that you need to move to be near the units that are fighting and that need to consume the Attack Supply. General Supply is not represented on the map, but rather is traced by counting hexes from a supply source to a unit. How you count "hexes" for General Supply is explained below. EFS系列中有两种补给类型。第一种为总体补给，另种一种为攻击补给。总体补给为军队保持战斗力必须的食物，油料，弹药和其他必须品。攻击补给是为某次战役所存储的补给——比如大量的炮弹，子弹和手榴弹等。战斗单位需要总体补给来避免各种惩罚，比如机动性降低。战斗单位需要攻击补给，才能在战斗中最强战斗力。攻击补给通过补给标记算子表示，需要放置在需要战斗的战斗单位旁。总体补给不直接在地图上体现，但需要战斗为能过追说到补给源。下面具体讲解如何追溯总体补给。
总体补给 
http://www.wargalley.com/efs/images/barrels.gif[/img]
General Supply is delivered to units by tracing a path of contiguous hexes from a supply source to the hex a unit is in. The route may consist of 3 different types that can connect to each other:
总体补给通过补给源追溯一条连续的补给线到达单位。这条补给路径可以包含如下三种不同的类型：
General Supply Path typesa Railroad Net铁路补给网络a Road Net公路补给网络a Line of Communications (LOC)通信线路
A Railroad Net (for the Axis, all rail hexes used must be "converted") can bring supply to any units on that railroad, or deliver the supply to the start of a road net or LOC. The railroad can be of any length to a supply source (the ultimate supply source is usually a map edge hex). If the railroad enters a hex with a main road or motorway road also in it, then the supply can be extended along that road 21 hexes from the point where the railroad meets that road. A "Road Net" consists of a Main Road or a Motorway (not Minor Roads). If a unit is on that "supply" road, then it is in supply. But usually a unit won't be on the road. In that case a LOC needs to reach to the unit for it to be deemed in General Supply. The LOC can be up to 7 hexes. The path of General Supply cannot enter an enemy occupied hex, cannot go through a hex with an enemy zone of control (ZOC) unless there is also a friendly combat unit in the hex.
铁路补给网（对于轴心国来讲，所有的铁路格斗要”被转化“）可以将补给输送到任何在铁路上的单位，或输送到公路补给网络的开始或LOC。通往补给源的铁路长度无限制（无限补给源通常在地图边沿）。如果铁路线进入到main road或motoway road格（铁路和公路交会格），则补给可以沿此公路输送到离铁路和公路交会格21格远地方。通常公路网络包含main road或motoway road（不包含minor road格）。如果单位在”有补给“公路上，则此单位处于有补给状态。别担心，单位不必非要处在公路上。LOC可以将补给输送到离公路7格范围内的单位。总体补给输送路径不能进入敌方单位占据的格子，不能通过无本方单位占据的敌方单位ZOC格。
Supply sources are identified in the scenario instructions. Typically they are a map edge, or range of hexes on a map edge, or a port. The Soviets also get to use Major City Hexes a source of General Supply.
每个剧本会给出补给源。一般他们在地图边沿，或距地图边沿一定距离内，或港口。苏军可以把大城市当做总体补给源。
The types of supply routes that can be traced and how they can connect:
补给路径可以按如下方式相连：
Supply source -> Railroad Net -> Road Net -> LOC补给源->铁路网->公路网->LOCSupply source -> Railroad Net -> LOC补给源->铁路网->LOCSupply source -> Road Net -> LOC补给源->公路网->LOCSupply source -> LOC补给->LOC
General Supply paths cannot go in any other combinations, such as LOC onto a Road Net, or Road Net onto a Railroad Net, or along a Road Net to a LOC then back to a Road Net, etc. Each path has to be contiguous.
补给路径这能是上述几种，不能LOC->公路网，公路网->铁路网，公路网->LOC->公路网等。路径必须是连续的

Lengths of supply routes:Railroad - any distance (For Axis, all railroad hexes used must be "converted" railroad hexes).铁路：距离无限（对于轴心国来讲，所有的铁路格斗要”被转化“）Main Road (or Motorway) - 21 hexes (not movement points - count only hexes). In Mud or Snow/Arctic this is reduced to 15 hexes.Main Road (or Motorway)：21格（非移动点，就是格子）。在泥泞/雪/极寒条件下，距离为15格LOC - 7 hexes (not movement points, count only hexes). In Mud or Snow/Arctic this is reduced to 5 hexes.LOC: 7格（非移动点，就是格子）。在泥泞/雪/极寒条件下，距离为5格LOC (additional restriction) - 5 hexes when tracing along a road or railroad in swamp hex during Dry weather.LOC(额外限制): 5格（干燥条件下，补给线通过处于沼泽格的铁路或公路）LOC (additional restriction) - 5 hexes when tracing through a marsh hex during Dry weather.LOC(额外限制): 5格（干燥条件下，处于marsh格的铁路或公路）LOC (additional restriction) - 5 hexes when tracing through a woods hex during Lingering Mud. If tracing along road or railroad in the woods hex, then this doesn't apply.
The Railroad used in a supply trace has to be contiguous hexes of the same railroad.
The Main Road (or Motorway) used in a supply trace has to be contiguous hexes of the same main road.
The 7 hexes overland (LOC) has to be contiguous hexes.
No "hopping" over hexes is allowed. No leaving a road to go around some obstruction (like an enemy unit) and getting back on the road. Any obstruction on a main road or railroad terminates the use of that main road or railroad at the last hex before the obstruction. From there, the LOC goes out up to 7 hexes. A General Supply path can not cross non-frozen lake/inland sea hexsides or unbridged major river. A General Supply path cannot enter a swamp hex during Dry or Mud turns unless the path is along a road or railroad that goes through the hex. A LOC can go along a railroad into a swamp hex during Dry or Mud turns. A General Supply path cannot enter a hex with a undestroyed enemy strongpoint or across a non-destroyed fortified line hexside.
Summary of General Supply stoppers:
Cannot go into a hex with an enemy unit in it.Cannot go into a hex with an enemy ZOC in it, unless that hex also has a friendly combat unit in it.Cannot go across a non-frozen lake/inland sea hexside.Cannot go across an unbridged major river.Cannot go into a swamp hex during Dry or Mud turns unless the supply can be traced along road or railroad that goes through the swamp hex(es).Cannot go through an undestroyed enemy strongpoint (although it can go into it, supplying friendly units in it, but the path stops there).Cannot go across undestroyed enemy fortified lines. (Friendly units on the "wrong" side of a fortified line, even if in the same hex as the fortified line, do not get supply through the fortified hexside).
Example 1
http://www.wargalley.com/efs/images/general_supply_example1.jpg[/img]
In this example, the supply source for the Axis is marked "S", in the green circle in the lower left. The supply on a main road can go up to 21 hexes on a dry weather turn. However, there is a Soviet unit sitting on the road. This stops the supply chain from going further up the road. A supply route can not exit a road then re-enter it further up. Note that Minor Roads (dotted lines) cannot be used in a Road Net. So the supply along the road terminates at the circle marked "A". The German unit that is at the hex marked "A" is of course in supply. Now the supply can go "off road", otherwise called "LOC". The LOC can go up to 7 hexes long on a dry turn. But it cannot enter enemy occupied hexes, or enter hexes where the enemy has a ZOC (although if you got a friendly unit there then supply can go through it). Therefore, the route shown is the shortest route possible to the other German units. The German unit at the hex marked "5" is in supply. It is within 7 hexes of the supplied main road. The German panzer unit in the upper right part of the map, however, is too far away. It would have to move to at least the hex marked "7" to be in General Supply. Therefore, this unit is not in General Supply, and during the supply phase would be marked with the appropriate marker denoting it cannot draw General Supply.
Example 2
http://www.wargalley.com/efs/images/general_supply_example2.jpg[/img]
In this example, the supply source for the Axis is marked "S", in the green circle in the lower left. The supply on a main road can go up to 21 hexes on a dry weather turn. However, there is a Soviet unit sitting on the road. This stops the supply chain from going further up the road at hex marked A. The German unit that is at the hex marked "A" is in supply. Now the supply can go "off road", otherwise called "LOC". The LOC can go up to 7 hexes long on a dry turn. But it cannot enter enemy occupied hexes, or enter hexes where the enemy has a ZOC (although if you got a friendly unit there then supply can go through it). Therefore, the route shown is the shortest route possible to try to reach the unit across the river. The LOC cannot be traced through the hex marked "B" - a enemy unit is exerting a ZOC on that hex. If a German unit was in hex "B", then supply could be traced through that hex. The LOC can not be traced through hex "C" for the same reason. Therefore, the LOC has to extend out as shown. The LOC cannot go across a unbridged major river, and therefore cannot take the most direct route which would be to hex marked "D". General supply cannot go across a major river unless it is crossed by a bridge, minor or major road, or a railroad (it is assumed that any minor road, or major road, or railroad that crosses any kind of river means there is a bridge there). The LOC shown is the shortest possible to the German recon unit that is across the river. Unfortunately for that unit, the LOC ends one hex short. The German recon unit cannot draw General Supply. During the supply phase it would be marked with the appropriate marker denoting it cannot draw General Supply.
In this example, the supply source is marked by hex "S". Since there is a converted Axis railroad that extends from "S" to hex "A", we can use the railroad to extend supply. Supply can extend along a railroad as far as the railroad goes. In this case, the Axis have converted the railroad up to hex "A". So from hex "A" the supply goes off-road, and uses LOC to reach the more distant Axis units. The LOC reaches to the unit at hex "7", but cannot reach the German recon unit that is to the right of that. All other German units are in General Supply, since they can easily reach the railroad by LOC.

Use of Attack Supply as General Supply
There is one more way for units to get General Supply, but it's something to be avoided unless you have a very good reason. You can use Attack Supply as a source of General Supply. Using a Attack Supply counter for General Supply uses up that Attack Supply, or 1 point of a Dump. This procedure gives General Supply to friendly units that can trace 5 hexes, under the same conditions as tracing a LOC, to the Attack Supply. The units are then considered in General Supply for 1 turn. Typically, only Soviet forces will use this tactic, since they are often cut off by the advancing Germans, and may have some friendly Attack Supply trapped with them. But you may find yourself, as the Axis player, forced to do this if for example a panzer division got cut off - or if you "planned" on a panzer division being cut off while involved in a deep thrust behind enemy lines.
Effects of not being able to get General Supply
Units that were in General Supply but are found to be unable to trace to General Supply are marked with a "Emergency Supply" marker. These units are still considered to be in General Supply. Units that have a "Emergency Supply" marker on them, and are found to still be unable to trace to General Supply during the Supply phase have the "Emergency Supply" marker flipped to "Out of Supply". Strongpoints also suffer from being Out of Supply. Units that are marked "Out of Supply" have the following negative effects:
Effects of being Out of Supply2 Movement points are subtracted from its normal movement allowance (prior to any halving due to other rules).
Exception - cavalry do not suffer the -2 penalty.The unit cannot do Reaction Movement.The unit cannot do Infiltration Movement.The unit cannot conduct overrun.The unit cannot fire defensively (if artillery). OOS artillery can still fire offensively if they are given Attack Supply.A defending stack gives the attacker a -1 drm on the combat roll if any unit defending is OOS.German panzer or German motorized divisions do not get the Divisional Integrity Bonus in an attack if any of its
member units participating in the attack are OOS, unless they are given Attack Supply for that attack.Strongpoint markers go out of General Supply just like units - but when they go from "Emergency Supply" to OOS,
they are removed from the map.Soviet units that are in the ZOC of an enemy unit and also in Emergency Supply or OOS suffer an additional die roll modifier on their
surrender roll.

Attack Supply
http://www.wargalley.com/efs/images/supplystrip.gif[/img]
Attack Supply is not required to conduct combat. However, units that attack without Attack Supply suffer the following negative effects.
Effects of attacking without Attack Supply:
+2 die modifier on combat table roll.Artillery cannot provide support.Results marked with * on the combat table cause additional losses to the attacker.German panzer and motorized divisions that are OOS (even if only one unit of the division is OOS)
do not get the divisional integrity bonus if their attack is not supplied with Attack Supply.
To use Attack Supply for a combat all units that are participating in the attack, including any artillery units, must be able to trace a LOC (7 or 5 hexes, depending on the current General Supply LOC length) to the Attack Supply unit, either a Mobile Supply counter or a Supply Dump. The Attack Supply point is consumed (either remove the Mobile Supply counter, or flip a Supply Dump back over to its Mobile Supply side), and then the attack can proceed as a Combat Supplied attack. It doesn't matter if you have only one unit attacking or 20 with 4 artillery units providing support - 1 attack uses 1 Attack Supply, but you might have to use 2 (or more) in order to reach every attacking unit. Of course, its a good idea to have your Attack Supply close enough so that it reaches all attacking units so you only need to spend 1 Attack Supply.
Note that when the odds are 9-1 or greater, the expenditure of Attack Supply is usually not necessary.
A Attack Supply counter has two sides to it. One side is the Mobile Attack Supply unit. The other side is a Attack Supply Dump. Mobile Attack Supply units can move on their own, or be transported by rail. If you have two Mobile Attack Supply units in the same hex, they can be flipped to a single Attack Supply Dump. If you wish to move a Attack Supply Dump, then you have to sacrifice a point of Attack Supply by simply flipping the Attack Supply Dump to its Mobile Attack Supply side, then you can move it. You can not later turn this single unit back to its Attack Supply Dump unless it is joined by another Mobile Attack Supply unit later. Once you make the decision to flip a dump to its mobile side, you lose that point of Attack Supply.
Attack Supply units cannot be captured. If the hex they are in is entered by an enemy unit, the Attack Supply is removed from the map.
Both sides get a maximum number of Attack Supply counters to use in each scenario (except some training scenarios). This is a hard limit, you can not add more Attack Supply counters beyond this limit (although you're free to create dumps as much as you can with the available Mobile Supply units). Each side gets a certain maximum number of Mobile Attack Supply units that can be brought onto the map each turn. If all Attack Supply counters are on the map, then you don't get to bring any new ones onto the map. Typically, the Axis are constantly expending their Attack Supply, and therefore have a constant stream of Mobile Attack Supply units entering the map, often by rail. The Soviets, since they usually don't attack too often, sometimes get "maxxed" out on their Attack Supply units because the limit of Attack Supply units allocated to them are all on the map waiting to get used.
For example, lets say your Attack Supply allotment is 4 Attack Supply points a turn. If, on a turn, you only have 1 Attack Supply unit available to be brought in (because the rest are on the map), then you bring only 1 in (the one available, even though you qualify for 4). They do not accumulate to the next turn. The next turn you can still only bring in the set maximum of 4 again.
For the Axis, its important to keep attacking (in good odds attacks) and expending your Attack Supply. You don't want to get "maxxed" out on Attack Supply because it probably means you are not using your troops effectively enough. Get them up front and attacking. Especially the panzer divisions. An idle panzer division is a bad thing.
