Movement Range can be reduced further due to supply level. See Supply Impact chart. Units starting their move NOT adjacent to an enemy unit can move one hex regardless of the unit s movement range, terrain movement point cost, supply, and/or enemy ZOC s.

The first purchase over the limit will be 85 * 1.05 = 89.2 PP's and oil consumption will be 3*1.05 = 3.1 for ALL Armor units. The second purchase over limit will be 85*1.05*1.05 = 93.7 PP's and oil consumption will now be 3*1.05*1.05 = 3.3 for ALL Armor units. The third purchase over the limit the cost will be 85*1.05*1.05*1.05 = 98.3 PP's and oil consumption for ALL armor units will now be 4*1.05*1.05*1.05 = 3.4. If the limit increases the costs change to the new limit. So in 1940 if you have 6 Armor units the oil consumption will go down to 3.1 for ALL Armor units. If the player purchases another Armor ( number 7) the cost will be 85*1.05*1.05 = 93.7 PP's and oil consumption will increase to 3.3 (3*1.05*1.05) for ALL Armor units. ** Builds Increased by one. Added Build shown in chart. Value set in general.txt. *** SS and Guards units. Mech and Armor units add 1 to Oil consumption. Additional costs to convert to Elite Units, GAR = 10 PP s, INF = 15 PP s, Mech = 20 PP s, Armor = 25 PP s. V2.11
