Bring new supplies of regularly ordered crack (2-5)
I believe the answer is:
re-equip
'bring new supplies' is the definition.
(provide with new equipment or supplies)
'regularly ordered crack' is the wordplay.
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'crack' becomes 'quip' (both can mean a joke).
The alternate letters of 'ordered' are 'ree'.
'ree'+'quip'='RE-EQUIP'
'of' is the link.
(Another definition for re-equip that I've seen is " Provide with new kit".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
