I can see one hanging around in a handy central location (full of natural resources, at a confluence of warp currents etc etc) to service a crusade or something. <br /><br />But the Taros Campaign, the Devos Campaign and other small ones will be supported, but perhaps not with a full blown fleet. For instance, the DM would ensure that there are manufacturae on the Acer Continent to support 72AG, and that the Ad Mech may well bring some STC replicating facilities with them, but then it's bigger than the Taros Army, which doubtless had adequate stocks in the first and second line, but was very much an expeditionary army in terms of supply, even bringing most of its own fuel and water.

I would have imagined each capital ship either containing or being served by manufactorum ships, so that the fleet operations support the ground troops. your example of charged las cells being prime, I would have expected that there mere made by vessels in orbit, who were served by resource ferries in the form of raw materials either form the world in question or a nearby convenient planetiod.<br /><br />But I suppose that's my families Naval background showing again. I do still think that the shape of war in the 40k ear would bear a little less resemblance to WW1 and a little more to contemporary combined arms operations...<br /><br />even with the fuffly "no-one should again wield the power of a legion" approach.
