Question in general

Well you aren’t the first player to arrive here having made mistakes with the rules by reading ‘regular’ A&A stuff into them. It is really important in BOTB and GCNL not to read any ‘regular’ A&A rules into the games. Most of the non strategy questions start by correcting a false premise. We had one player moving his attacking units into the hexes he wanted to attack for instance.

Here is a link to the FAQ.

@kdfsjljklgjfg:

German units from Hex A and Hex B are attacking Allied units in Hex C. Does only 1 supply need to be paid because there is only one target hex, or does there need to be one supply paid for each hex that is targeting it?

One Supply must be paid for each hex that is activated to attack.  Note that the attacks from the two hexes are carried out separately.

@kdfsjljklgjfg:

If a hex is activated for movement, do tanks in the zone need only one more supply, and the hex is activated for all movement and blitzing? Or are the tanks two extra on top of the original cost?

One Supply is paid to activate the hex for movement, and a second is paid to allow blitzing, for a total of two.

Welcome, KikaSmile!

The only thing that I know of that you can do is edit the original post and change the Message Icon that appears next to the thread, but I don’t know how much success you’d have trying to get people to do it consistently.

Try to maintain a continuous line. If you create ‘hardspots’ where the Axis can get ZOC on the hexes your units need for retreating you’ll find your tactical retreat hasn’t preserved anything.

they did, only the tank in the south even survived, –in the north, a couple infantry, an ART and the tank.  Allies should have dumped more into Bastogne and surrounding area i guess. 
  And since nothing else survived, the tank was cut off from supplies and allies didn’t bring any more up to allow it to even move.

Well… that certainly explains why the allies have been having such a ridiculously easy time moving their troops from place to place…

Excellent, thanks!
