This is not to say there isn't a problem someplace because we know from past experience that sometimes it's a combination of things that can cause a problem but without a detailed report of what units were involved and/or a save game we can only guess why you are having this problem and nobody else is reporting it. Who knows, it might be turn related but we can't guess what turn you're on and that's why I suggested a week ago if you have this problem again to post the save games. As Andy mentioned, you'll need to zip or RAR them up first

The only obvious one that occurs to me (without having a savegame to see) is that something else is being supplied by that truck.

e.g - you have parked Bill and Fred on ammo truck Bert hoping for supply. However, Art the howitzer is also in range of Bert and is happily banging away. Art is higher up the unit list than Bill and Fred and is depleting rounds, so Bert is always topping Art off and so never servicing Bill or Fred.

(NB, there is no reason to park in the same hex as an ammo unit, as 1 hex has the exact same supply effect as being at 0 hexes. Not unless you desire to be guaranteed to feel the full effect of Bert should he happen to explode, anyhow. Being 1 hex away from an ammo explosion is a little better than being at 0 hexes! )
