In APOS Anyone please give me brief info or Reserves and where to find them

[MrSquiggless]

Just wondering if the more experienced players could give me tips on how to
check if reserves / resupply are available and how to activate them.

Also can only the spotter (or commander) call in artillery strikes. How do you
target these strikes? They are not where I want them. I seem to see
red and blue target circles appear on map. Can I shift these blue and red target circles
and what are they?

Enemy off map artillery getting closer to me that I am to them.

Does this targeting artillery apply to my artillery on map or off map artillery?

Also why does battle end early and what do you do if other side offers a truce?

Thanks all.

P.S. Does anyone have any text notes they have made on the game play. I usually keep such notes as
I learn a game.

Automatically if your platoons be in reserve/resupply range.
Page 18-19 in manual - icons for reserves/resupply.
If you place mouse cursor over the platoon you can see the range.

One resupply/reserve squad can be resupply/recruit one platoon at one turn.
If you lost some of resupply/reserve squads in battle then resupply abilities is decreased.

Yes, spotters or some commanders.

How do you target these strikes?

Select spotter/commander alone and place areas to targets then call support. If you do it on initial orders phase - support will be accuratelly and faster.
Manual, Pages 64-70 covers Absolutely all aspects of indirect fire in game (with pics).

Immediately agree 
There are no consequences.

You are very welcome Andrey. 

I did these guides because I think your game is the best military SIM ever developed.  However, some of the English/US players are finding the UI and the manual difficult and it stops them playing and maybe stops others from buying, so I try to help them.

Feel free to link to the walk-throughs here in your forum if you think they will help you to promote the game and its great features.  I am hoping that you get lots of success so that you keep building better and better games for us!
