how do I supply my infantry on islands?? I am guessing inf need supplies to stay organized??

I try to click the nearest land base to my capital and start a supply route. But not supplies are available?

Is there an easier way of noticing or am I going the wrong way about it?



Basicaly how to I get my infantry to stay organized (besides not fighting) and normally increase their org?? Thanks for any suggestions.

How is your overall supply situation? If you have a general trouble with supply, well, you are in trouble.

If you have plenty of supplies for your country:
Do you have convoys set up to those islands or not?
Be sure of having a big enough convoy and to check for it to transport valid stuff (supplies in this case, most likely nothing else is needed; leg inf doesn't require oil for example). Insufficient transports may be a problem if the overall supply situation is not. You must then learn how to set up proper convoys.


As for higher max org, well, you research. Look a bit more into the research for land doctrines for example...Current org and max org is two diffrent things of course.

All of that I do have. It's down by singapore. I own singapore and I have 2 direct land supply routes (uninterupted incase someone asks that basic) back to my capital. I'm am extracting rubber from the islands south of singapore.

Extracting rubber is great. But I also made another supply route to those islands, this one just for dropping off supplies once I noticed them losing org. That is the only reason I think they are continuely losing and staying at "0 org" is because they are on the island.
And it's just a minimal of forces. 4 per beach (none on non beaches). And my new nuclear navy is around singapore and surrounding area.

Meh I'll probably figure it out somehow.


I also have rubber being extracted from the area's with no beaches (on the island), is that ok?

I am sorry, I am not sure I follow you.
What do you mean with "It's down by Singapore"? In the first post it sounded that you wondered about the situation on islands in general. Is that a misunderstanding? Not all islands have land connections.

I may be wrong, but you never answered anything about your general supply situation: in your first post you hinted something that no supply where available when you tried to create a convoy. If you indeed have a general supply problem with insufficient supplies for your nation, you could check if you can change ministers to improve the situation.
From memory, two minister types would help and can be used at the same time. One decreasing the usage of supply and one increasing the production of new supplies.

If you have plenty of supplies; I wonder if you lose strength also on those
islands. Perhaps you have a combined problem with low infra and insufficient convoys? Well, low infra will kill your units sooner or later as their str decrease.

Exactly what did you do with the convoys to narrow down the problem? There are some good posts about narrowing down the problem of supplies and islands and as I remember it, these posts boil down to convoy set up and scheduling.
Did you try greatly oversized convoys for a few days for example? Repeated, greatly oversized convoy shipping supplies from your nation to the island?
When you write "dropping off supplies once I noticed them losing org." I hope you don't mean you haven't tried letting the convoy be automatic/permanent during the full time the unit(s) are on the island? I would set up the convoy as soon as I got the units on the island.
