Supply Questions

[Rafiki]

How much supply can various places/structures hold?

[Hobbes]

Is general supply consumed by units at the same rate regardless of stance or action?

Hate to resurrect an old question but in a different post I asked how to keep Grant supplied around Vicksburg in the 1863 scenario (I got one reply - I guess not too many have played this particular scenario). I've gone through the Wiki once again but could not find a definitive answer. If I park riverine transport ships (not the ocean going variety) on the Mississippi River itself adjacent to the region Grant is in, will those transports provide some degree of supply to Grant? To review another basic supply question, do the regions on both sides of a navigable river have to be controlled before river supply (not by ships) will be allowed? I ask this because Grant is isolated around Vicksburg. I've been painstaking moving ground units to control the regions on both sides of the Mississippi from Memphis on down to Viscksburg - will this actually open a river supply route?

Not a fixed amount Decay starts when some hundreds accumulate, with depots lessening the problem.

yes, but this could be a cool feature to change that...

River transports can supply adjacent forces yes.
Supply distribution along a river is blocked if one of the side has gun that can do passing fire, as per the standard rules.

River transports can supply adjacent forces yes.

Do they have to be in port? Or can you park them in rivers?

[Rafiki]

No, they will share their supply even when "at sea" (at river?) in the river regions bordering the land stacks.

Sure, you must have not have enemy ships in a water region to have supply pass thru.

Do the guns have to have the "bombard" special order clicked on, or do they interdict just being present?

[Pocus]

Is this an increasing percentage effect like interdiction, or is it completely blocked with just one enemy ship?

Completely blocked.

You must have them with the bombard passing ships order, meaning they can shell ... and be shelled.
