Thus far, the only thing I can reload (that I know of) is the rocket launchers, mortars, and infantry. Many times a tank will run out of main gun ammo, and become basically useless against other tanks. I've sat on unsuppressed ammo bunkers or munitions depots for 10 turns hoping to reload. It would be nice to be able to reload and get them back into the battle.Is there a way to do this that I have not yet figured out?

It matters if the unit wishing re-supply is in the same hex or adjacent to the supply depot. I'm pretty sure units wishing re-suppy need to be in an adjacent hex. I think it's Ammo Carriers that need to be in the same hex as the supply depot. I never realy understood the rational between the two diferent methods. It's all very confusing, their is the Steel Panthers I,II, and III methods, which may or may not be the same as this game, plus their is WinSPMBT and WinSPWW2, which may or may not use the same mythod as the other. I guess it would be best to look in the manual, but looking for specific rule in there is very time consuming and impracticle during a game. I been trying to figure it out for years, but when I do figure it out, I don't remember it for very long. I guess it would help if I re-supplied my units every game, then I would get so much practice doing it, I would never forget it.
