I hate to keep asking questions,but...

[unmerged(1333)]

A couple of nagging issues. I believe I have the convoy system down and I understand how it works, but one last question about that: When the game started, the computer had a convoy set up to take 40 oil FROM Japan and bring it to a port in Korea. If the goal is to bring resources to your home country, that convoy seems counter productive. Why is that convoy there?

Also a question on trade. I look on my ledger and it says Im trading away about 80 coal and 100 steel, but it is saying Im recieving nothing from incoming trade. Is it me, or is that a bad trade deal?


Finally, I strategically redeployed 2 air units and seem unable to redeploy them. When I click on "choose province" it comes up with a blank window and the ok button blacked out.


Thanks in advance

1. Yes, you want to ship oil to your homeland. However...wouldn't your troops on the mainland be happy to recieve supplies to continue fighting with?

2. That's a bad trade deal. I'm pretty sure that you need to offer more than you'll recieve.

Hope that helps you.

If you want any motorized units to be able to have fuel to move on the mainland, you need an oil stockpile there to use it.

Does this also apply for supplies? BTW, thanks for the help..

Yep. It applies to both fuel and supplies. Those are the only 'quantitative' measured things (coal, oil, etc.) in the game that you wouldn't want sent to your capital.

.... and do not be afraid to ask questions.
All will be answered politely no matter how basic they are - or I will know the reason why
These forums have always been friendly and helpful and will remain so or my beak isnt orange!

Been that way with the EU forums and will hopefully remain so with HoI and CK. Always very friendly people around here who'll help if they know the answers.

I guess that's what happens when the majority of a meeting area is over 21 years old rather than lower than it.

Just right click the province on the map. It seems like the province has to be one you control, it can not be an allie's that you have military movement through. The list would allow you to combine the deployed unit with and existing army of the same kind (air in your case).
