    That's the fun part of war everyone always ignores. Logistics.

    One combat arms soldier needs several support soldiers to keep combat capabilities at optimal levels. The simplifies formula is: If Joe Infantryman doesn't have his beans, bullets and benzene, Joe Infantryman's gonna be fucked.

    Edit: this is why I enjoyed playing the vidiyagaem Foxhole, since it illustrates to anyone that plays it the realities of grand-scale war and the logistics nightmare that comes with it.

      Remember when gamers went on "strike" over the support mechanics?

      I got demoralized from playing that when the buildings started to disappear after you build them.

        Oh you had to make sure those buildings had supplies to make sure they were sustainable. Sorts dumb but it prevents passive defense maginot lines like I remembered there were in older game builds
