Air unit movement & out of supply determination

[Yoper]

The rules state that air units in unsupplied territories can not move during the mechanized phase.

We need a clarification concerning when and where the supply consideration is made.


I have two examples that highlight a need for a clear ruling.

1) A fighter starts its turn in supply and flies to a territory that is out of supply.

2) A fighter starts its turn out of supply and flies to a territory that is in supply.


I would argue that the rule as written above would apply to situation #1 while in situation #2 the fighter would be able to move in the mechanized phase. 

The territory the air unit in situation #2 has flown to has the supplies necessary to allow it to continue moving in the mechanized phase.

You only check supply status on the "Check Supply" phase.  If determined to be out of supply, your unit is out of supply until the next "Check Supply" determination. 

So, in your example, if your fighter started out of supply - it is still out of supply even if it flew to a supplied territory on the movement phase.  Conversely, your fighter than was in supply is still in supply even if it flies to an out of supply territory.

Same thing goes with armor - if you get an unsupplied armor unit in supply during the movement and combat phase - it still can not move/attack on the mechanized phase.
