The below link is to an essay I wrote about 20 years ago on the impact of supply in wargaming. The premise:
"In wargaming, at which level is supply more important, or has the greatest impact, the tactical or strategic?" The short answer is: strategic. In wargaming, supply impacts at all levels of combat, however, it has its greatest effect at the strategic level. That is not to say that the effects of supply are not involved or inherent at the tactical level. At the tactical level of wargaming, the time frame of most scenarios is too short for supply to affect the outcome.
