The War Game Manual 3rd Advanced

4.0 Ammunition

4.1 Basics of ammunition

Only Battery units and Tanks have limited ammunition. This forces the player to make decisions about when they will use their heavy weapons, and also makes Riflemen more useful.

Once a Battery unit or Tank exhausts its ammo supply it can no longer attack or counterattack, though it can still move.

A good way to represent the ammo supply is to wrap small rubber bands around the figure, one for each round left.

4.2 Reloading

To reload a Battery unit or Tank, end its turn within one click of

any Transport, or
a unit of the same type with spare ammo, or
your edge of the battlefield

If reloading from a unit of the same type the supplying unit must have ammo to spare. The supplying unit can give the reloading unit up to as much ammo as it is carrying.

The 'close enough' rule does not apply to reloading.
