In-Game Supply Representation

I am still working on the Day One Afternoon Phase Contact Reports. They require me to set up new scenarios for each contact and it is taking longer than expected.  As I have been working on them, I have decided to do the following for in-game supply representation:

1. Supply Trains: When represented on a map as part of an engagement or raid, one supply wagon will represent in-game will represent three supply wagons in the simulation. (If you see a supply train with 10 wagons, it is actually 30 wagons.)

2. Supplies in Supply Trains: The wagons in-game will have the total amount of small arms and artillery rounds available in the train distributed among the wagons. Rations will not be represented in-game, but will be tracked through the sim.

3. Supply Depots: Where a supply depot is present, a supply wagon will be placed (fixed in place) with the amount of rounds in the depot. This will allow units to go to the depot and re-supply during the course of an engagement.

Still working on contact reports....
