Supply is infinite, any ammo you like from bullets to SAMs

The AI cannot use them, so they are a little bit of a "cheat" - hence why they are charged to your artillery for overload.

And one point missed - Supply dumps/bunkers supply to 2 (might be 3?) hexes.

Unlike the original game, ammo units only supply one unit per turn, so there is no value in clustering round them like flies round the brown stuff - worked in SP1/2/3, not now.

Ya I read about the one unit per. Ammo Dump can supply out to 2 hexes.

If you use ammo resupply, especially "ordnance movers" and are playing against the AI, be careful. The AI WILL prioritize attacks against your ammo resupply units under most battlefield conditions. I only play against the AI and I've this happen countless times in the game. It will normally cause "collateral damage" in the same hex and or adjacent one against "soft targets" especially infantry.

For the rest your on your own, "watch your six", "terrain mask your units" while maneuvering and also maintain good LOS throughout.
