Learn how supply hubs, supply depots, terrain, and encirclement influence military operations in Battleplan. Understand how ammunition, fuel, food, and supply routes affect combat effectiveness and how to prevent an advancing division from becoming isolated.
Company Supply
Every company tracks supplies representing ammunition, fuel, and food. Low supply causes combat penalties, while depleted supplies lead to attrition and increased surrender risk.

Fixed battlefield supply hubs, including ports and major transport centers, provide supplies that are distributed to supply depots.

Depots store and distribute supplies to formations. Players can establish and dismantle depots, with deployment-phase changes occurring immediately.

Encircled units can continue using available local supplies, but cutting their replenishment routes can eventually cause attrition and rapid surrender.
Armored Advances
The official logistics guide recommends using armored formations for breakthroughs while following with infantry to hold the supply corridor.
