Default Re: Question on smoke grenades

It's one of the quirks of the game.

Smoke is issued automatically but it's issued less to some types of units than others.

If you open up Afghanistan and buy a "Tribal Band" you will see they rarely, if ever, have smoke issued becasue they are unit class "Irregulars" and that is true for things like any "Guerrilla" class unit ( Viet Cong is a prime example)

If you buy Afghan "militia" they are issued 1 and sometimes 2 smoke rounds becasue their unit class is "Militia". "Reserve Infantry" classes also have reduced numbers of smoke rounds

The Al Qaeda units in the Afghan OOB are classed as "Mercenaries" and the way we have this coded "Mercenaries" are assumed to have full access to supplies like smoke.

If you want to reduce the smoke you could use a "tribal band" or Milita and rename them Al Qaeda or edit them out as you did
