I have noticed my own troops suffer from this and learned to do it myself. I've never saw that message pop up though. I've only seen "your troops suffer from lack of supplies" or something like that.

In any case.

In your example, the beach actually crosses the border line. So a fleet is only needed in the southern half? Is re-supply not possible with air transports if a Carrier Unit is envolved?

In a case of a multi border land mass, do you need to park a fleet in every beach and port area? or will a patroling fleet stop supplies?



Thanks in advance and thanks for the detailed discription.
 
1 -> Block a port​

In this first post, I will explain one of my favourite changes: Block a port

Is simple, and a very important tactic

First, select the target, in my case: Guam
​

Send your ships (you need 6)​

And wait...

Your enemy will can't send convoys, and their units will have supply problems​

We added a new message


​

Of course, you can have the same problem​

In the game, Options->Message settings->When a port sufers a Naval Blockade

Beach is not important, you need block the port seazone (a port only have one seazone). You can use air transports, of course.

Other thing

Remeber, you can block the port of origin or the destination port

2 -> HQ and reserve depot​

Other important change is the ability to create sumis/oil depot by HQ. When a Hq have supply problems, will create a oil/sumis depot in the province. The HQ only can create one depot, but you can 'reset' the HQ sending the unit to your capital, wait one day, and again your HQ can create a depot.

3 -> Port size limits supply capacity​

This is an interesting option. Now, the port size will limit the supply capacity. Little ports only can store 50 supplies, and the big ports = 100 x portsize^2 (naval base 1 -> 100, naval base 2 -> 400,...)

Remember, if you destroy the enemy port, 100x0^2 = 0 supplies

Good luck

4 -> HQ system​

Hi

The HQ system in simply, but give important bonus. The Capital HQ must be placed on the capital of your nation and be kept there. The Region HQ can be placed in any region where you have troops to receive the bonuses, and the original HQ give the bonus in the area.

Org bonus -> +10%
Moral bonus -> +10%
Supply consumption -> -0.15
Fuel consumption -> -0.15

5 -> Strategic redeployment​

A new option in Arma-Iron Cross is the posibility to deactivate the strategic redeployment of units in the front (a multiplayer suggestion)

8 -> Besieged capital​

Other unknown feature is when your capital is besieged. If you have >1000 supplies (or oil), the game will create a depot in other province (based in the ic, manpower and infra values)

I try to explain with images.

siege-1.png

Your capital

siege-2.png

New depot (10% of total supplies/oil)

siege-3.png

Units ok​

When the new depot don't have supplies/oil, the game will send more supplies/oil.

Good luck

9 -> New depots​

Hi

Iron Cross add an important change with the new depots.

unloadsum-1.png


unloadsum-2.png


unloadsum-3.png


So far, so normal. But, now I embark the unit and I move/rebase/amph.assault to Andros (is the same for all missions)

unloadsum-4.png


unloadsum-5.png


unloadsum-6.png

What happens? Why my units don't have supplies?
Simple, the unit take the supplies from the origin province (St Jonh's) and not from London. If the origin province don't have the necessary supplies, your units will not create a depot. Remember that in your amph. assaults

Good luck

What determines how many supplies/oil/etc are taken with a unit when it embarks from the UK to St Johns, then to Andros?
