Unit Replenishment Rate

I'm a little confused about this.

To me, it seems unit replenishment is unbearably slow. I'm playing Napoleon's Egypt Campaign and I have troops garrisoned in one of my cities, but it seems they are only replenishing at 5-10% per turn. I mean...at this rate, it'll take more than 10 turns until they are fully replenished. Is this the way the game is supposed to work or is there something I can do to speed this up?

Techs, farms, roads and supply posts increase the replenishmentrate

You need supply depots, roads, and farms. These are the easiest, and most obvious methods of icnreasing the replenishment rate.

In your 'border' provinces, the provinces from which you are launching attacks, make certain to have a supply depot.

Also, try 'switching' armies, that is, if one army gets too battered, move it back to your most industrialized province and move a fresh army to the front.

Think of it in real times - there weren't pools of front line quality reserves waiting to be filled in replacement companies right?

Units also replenish faster if you can build the unit that is replenishing in that province.

Also if your unit is more than half dead and you hope to use the army again soon, you might as well just merge them with another and put in another unit.

In the coalition campaign, I'm kinda ... estranged by the VERY FAST replentishment rate I get in some provinces. At first it was too slow, now It's too fast.
