They can also be earned by completing certain side objectives too. Well, Uncle Adolf, these cards are both single and multi-use things that are purchased using prestige at the start of a scenario.

I learned very quickly to save at least one supply card for a just-in-case scenario.

On occasions, my lines will be cut and I've got a pocket of units, often being supplied by supply drops generated by the trusty card I had pocketed away just in case. All too often I'll find myself over-extended, a large front with far too few supplies to keep it going. Unit supply is an absolute pain in the arse, particularly for me who goes for blitzkrieg tactics more than anything else in this game. Maybe there's something hidden away somewhere that tells me exactly what I'm looking for, but I'll be damned if I'm going searching around for it - it should be there, easy to find. What the rest do, well I've recently bought an Ouija board to consult with Patton, Montgomery and Rommel to help me figure out exactly what the hell I'm doing. I figured out through much holding of the cursor on different icons that Engineers are useful for attacking entrenched enemies. Other areas that are a little hidden, in dire need of a FAQ, are what exactly the special steps do. It's small, but it matters, particularly when you're following the objectives and trying to get as much as you can. What it doesn't say is that you are expected to have captured it before turn 11, not by the end of turn 11.

It could say, for example, capture a location turn 11. Sometimes it's something as simple as core objectives - for example, to get a gold star in a campaign mission, you're expected to capture certain locations within a time limit. I have one problem with Unity of Command II.
