So, I'm playing a KR game as UoB, and suddenly I notice some of my units have gone out of supply! I check the convoy list thingie, and this is what I see:

supply.png

That's right. One convoy transports 1.7 supplies and 0.1 oil and uses 132 (!!!!) transports.
For comparison, the other transports 14.1 supplies but uses only 92 transports (this seems perfectly reasonable).

Why is the first convoy using such insane number of transports? It only has to supply two infantry divisions. Btw, if you're wondering, Tamatave is in Madagascar, and a little previously to this screenshot, I also had a division each in two other islands in the neighbourhood (Muruni and Mamoudzu), which were displaying the same insane convoy transport usage (they used 72 transports each); I withdrew those divisions.

This is a real issue that's never been fixed, but there is a way to fix it ingame:

Cancel all your trade routes manually, then let the AI set them up again. This should work 99% of the time.

Thanks for the tip! I'll remember it for next time; in the present game I was clearly winning anyway and just built a bunch of convoy transports to compensate.
