Understand how ammunition, fuel, food, supply hubs, and supply depots affect your army's battlefield performance. Learn to maintain supply routes during offensives, prevent encirclement, and recover depleted divisions before launching another attack.

1Check each division's supply status before attacking. The official offensive guide recommends avoiding major attacks when a division has less than half its maximum supply.
2Identify supply hubs and position supply depots close to formations preparing for combat. Shorter supply distances and favorable terrain improve supply transfer rates.
3Use armored divisions to penetrate enemy positions while infantry follows behind to hold captured territory and protect the supply corridor.
4Target enemy supply depots using reconnaissance and planned advances to disrupt opposing formations and weaken their combat effectiveness.
5Withdraw heavily depleted formations toward friendly supply depots to replenish ammunition, fuel, and food before continuing operations.

Battleplan Zone Orders Guide

Learn how Battleplan's Zone Orders system lets you command entire regiments without individually controlling every unit. Discover Regimental Plans, territorial assignments, combat forecasts, and tactical settings such as Seize Ground and Balanced Hold.

1Create a Regimental Plan by drawing an operational area on the map. The game divides the selected area into zones based on the number of regiments available.
2Choose a tactic for each zone. Seize Ground aggressively captures enemy territory, while Balanced Hold advances when flanks are secure and local forces are not outnumbered.
3Inspect the attack and defense prediction bars in each zone's battle information panel to evaluate force strength, terrain, and likely combat outcomes.
4Reassign battalions between zones and reshape zone boundaries as needed. Hold the right mouse button along a zone edge to adjust its shape, including during execution.
