Allies used all my supplies

[sekullbe]

It's my first game and I picked Sweden since it'll probably be left alone but I can still keep an eye on things.

Eventually I got bored and joined the UK's alliance. The US and UK now think southern Sweden is a great place to base their air forces. No problem, except that they've used up all my supplies, burned up all my oil, and drank up all my beer.

I can't build anything since my IC is devastated by supply deficits, and my units can barely move. I can't get them to trade me nearly enough supplies even with crazy trades for metals and rares (and I don't have and can't build enough convoys anyway)

Is there anything I can do about this, or should have done beforehand? I could really use some lend-lease!

thanks!

Try to create a trade agreement; trade away some stuff you have plenty of and demand something you have very little. And building synthetic oil and material plants helps A LOT.

You could use acceptall and give yourself 5000 supplies from the US once in a while.

Also, eight years and this is your first post? That's quite remarkable.

If you are using 1.04, then i would like to get the current savegame from you.
From 1.04 you pay for your own units, even in allied countries - that means automatic convoy to allied lands.

It's definitely 1.04; I'll see if I can find a save from the appropriate time.

I wonder if the problem was that the convoy couldn't get to Stockholm because the Germans controlled Copenhagen. (I don't know if it should have just gone to a North Sea port instead through.)

It's also possible that I missed something due to unfamiliarity with the game, though I was definitely seeing "Allied Use" in the supplies popup.

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe it works only if your ally cannot supply your troops by its own IC\stockpiles? In one USSR game where I had DDR, Poland and few other countries as puppets (and allies), back when DDR was still rebuilding itself it constantly kept switching between "Supplied from Berlin" to "Supplied from Moscow" in the past few months, until when after few months DDR was up'n running with moderate amount of IC it remained "Supplied from Berlin" for the rest of the game.

Here's the game. It looks like I'm generating ~35 supplies and using 4, while my allies are using 40.

They are still supplied by you, if they dont have a stock, but a convoy should be created by the unit owner, that gives you back that excact amount.

Assume military control and send them to Finland. They have stronger beer, too.

I have another problem of same nature. An allied country could not send supply and/or convoys to its overseas province where I operated. So my troops died of hunger. I would have prefered to supply them myself instead of my poor puppet but I suppose there is no way to do that at the moment.

But if the owner does not have convoys, you won't get it back.

That is excactly the point of the 1.04 change.
autoconvoy will make a convoy so you supply your own troops - also you can now manually make convoys to such places.
(They have a different color than normal convoys)
