The Confederate supply depot is at Bloomery Gap, with lines
back to Winchester and Martinsburg. Confederates may access supplies from the
depot as long as supplies are available and there are no Federal troops present
at the locality. Other commissary depots
may be established by transporting supplies from Bloomery Gap by commissary
train.
The main Federal Depot is located
at Cumberland, with lines back to Pittsburg and Ohio. Federals have additional
supply depots at New Creek Depot, Paddytown, Patterson Creek Depot, and Green
Spring Depot. These are supplied as long as there is a rail connection to
Wheeling (off the western exit of the map through New Creek.) If the rail line
to Wheeling is cut, depots can be resupplied by transporting supplies from
Cumberland as long as a rail connection and train is available.
Destruction of the railroad at
any depot on the B&O will result in it the destruction of excess supplies
that cannot be carried off and the depot no longer being available.
Commissary Supplies: Each Supply Depot has a limited amount of
Commissary Supplies.
