Supply wagons and depots in sieges

[Jonathan Pollard]

The manual says that besieged units are less likely to surrender if a supply wagon is present. Nothing is mentioned about depots. I would think that supplies from a depot are just as good as supplies from a supply wagon. Is this an oversight in the manual and is a depot just as effective as a supply wagon in reducing the chance of a surrender?

[Kensai]

Depots and supply wagons won't help if you run out of supplies in a siege. Depots, cities, and ports produce some supplies each turn but they are usually too few in a serious siege with many besieged and besieging.

Wagons help with the surrender roll. They give your troops another chance if they fail the surrender roll.

[Kensai]

It's actually the other way around. They give an extra "no surrender" roll when you wouldn't have normally. But once they are empty, I think they don't work anymore. This is almost the same when used in battle, they add to the battle rolls as long as they have something to carry.
