Until they fix the game and it's problems I have no problem with cheating so I can find ways to enjoy this game. I constantly had problems with supply (especially for fuel) so I cheated. Here's what I did;
Difficulty setting (hard): Supply throughput = 0.9 (usual setting was -0.1 or something like that).
Instantresearch; it's an in game cheat command that gives every country (player or AI) the ability to learn each tech being researched in 1 day. I researched the two supply related techs in Theory (boost to supply throughput and supply train cost) both to lv 15.
I gave myself 99,999 supplies and fuel.
all infrastructures where 100.
Edited all leaders to include logistics.
Edited ministers to include bonus to supply throughput and reduction in supply consuption.
distance to supply province was under 20 prov.
I played germany, I had 6 panzer divisions (5 x [2 armour, 1 mech, 2 SP rocket artillery] each division). I also had 10 infantry divisions (no fuel consuption) and 2 motorized divisions (2.33 fuel consuption per brigade). The date is july 1939 (started in the 38 scen) I lined up all my infantry along the polish, fench and benelux borders. They had no issue receiving supplies. I then lined up my panzers and motorized divisions along the yougoslave and hungary borders, my intent was to invade all the lower balkans all the way to greece before I triggered the polish event. I had 7 provinces each with 5 brigades on them ready for the invasion. Here's how it went;
Start date was July 9th 1939. DoWed Yougoslavia, hungary, romania, bulgaria and greece. I had 5 interceptor air wings (4 Ints in each wing) all set out across my territory with intercept instructions covering all of my provinces and including 10 provinces into enemy territory. The air battle was over within 3 days, all enemy aircrafts where destroyed or undergoing serious repairs so as to nul their effect completly.
The innitial assault including a 3 province deep blitz (each brigade would attack 3 provinces before stoping for re-assessment), they reached their destination by july 12th. Their was absolutely no slowing them down during the blitz, but as they reached their randez-vous points their was a stall. Their where no supplies nor fuel for 2 days. On July 14th the flow of supplies finally started coming in, all my divisions where fully supplied.... But what about fuel? July 15th, 16th, 17th, still no fuel.... July 18th, 21st, 27th still no fuel.... August 5th, , 10th and finally, we cought a break on August 14th 1939 and my soldiers marched on, performing a blitz 5 provinces in this time (figured, for some reason they don't run out of fuel during a blitz, so why stop them at all) and by August 19th Hungary was annexed, Romania's broders where penetrated and yougaslavia was half mine.
Ofcourse there was an other delay, supplies took 3 days to arrive this time and fuel took 2 months. Greece, Yugoslavia and bulgaria had all joined the Allies, Romania was a proud member of the red army. I had wars on all fronts now, no problem, my infantry where positioned there just for that posibility, my airforce was still entirely intact and my ports where well defended against amphibious landings.. I DoWed the Benelux trio, moved my infantry into poland, belgium, holland and luxemburg, not too fast, I wanted to move them systematically (I don't like giving up control to the AI, cause the AI in this game is like a retarded cousin you only love because he's familly).
October 4th 1939, war on all fronts have started. By october 15th, luxemburg, belgium where conquered. By October 23rd Poland was conquered, October 25th Romania surrendered (for some reason the USSR hadn't DoWed me yet and the Rib-pact hadn't even triggered, all of Poland was mine). November 1st the invasion of France had started just as Holland surrendered. I moved 2 infantry brigades to the Denmark border to invade them aswell. November 17th my infantry was in Paris, Denmark is mine, my armoured division just now, finally, crossed the border into bulgaria and reinforced the Romanian/Solviet border. November 25th Vichy event triggers.
So in 52 days, all of France, Belgium, Denmark, Luxemburg, Holland and Poland was conquered using nothing but infantry divisions. At the start of those 52 days I had already been invested south with my armoured divisions for 90 days and had conquered hungary and half of Yugoslavia, by the end of those additional 52 days, they had conquered Romania and Yugoslavia (they surendered before my divisions could reach the border of Greece), so in 142 days of operations my armoured divisions where on the border of Bulgaria and scattering south in Yugoslavia before Greece could invade north, well greece did invade north and they reached my Armoured line (just north of Albania) before my troops could even move 1 province and why? Cause you guessed it, no supplies....
My total supply throughput percentage was 295%, all infrastructures where 100 (edited before starting the game, took 4 hours!), supply train cost was at -0.15. Supply consuption for all armoured brigades was at -0.6 (-0.2 from logistics and -0.4 from minister, yup cheated there too!)
Result; this thread should stop here, system is broken. All of the above chapter bonuses seem to be working on supplies but seem to have Zero effect on fuel.
