Supply System

[UltimateTobi]

Hey guys,

does this rule (http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum...into-China&p=12809169&viewfull=1#post12809169, 2nd point) also apply to AOD?

2. If you isolate someone's capital but don't conquer it, their entire army goes out of supply. This is particularly effective against countries like China who have enormous slow armies in excellent defensive terrain - surround Nanking and watch their organisation drop to 0.

As far as I know, yes, but it is an extremely gamey tactic to use, so try to avoid it.

No it doesn't.

In case you encircle the enemy capital, the units outside will be supplied by supplies produced by the factories (IC) outside.

But it is effective at stopping reinforcements, if I recall correctly, and the enemy can't produce any new divisions anymore - or if they do, you can just destroy them with a garrison left behind - so it's still a pretty useful tactic.

The enemy cna still produce units and place them in IC-rich regions.

Yeah this was the case in HOI2 but no longer the case in AOD. Encircling the capital does no good whatsoever.... Just like if you build enough ICs offshore you can deploy units there.
