NOT A BUG: Have military access, but no oil for troops in the provinces

Have military access, but no oil for troops in the provinces

Playing as Italy, i got military access from Portugal and tried to march to south Africa through the east coast colonies of Portugal in Africa. The units are out of oil in both Port Amelia and Quelimane.

My other units in Africa have oil, my supply depot in Tripoli has lots of oil.

The provinces have 34 infra. The units seem to be in supply.

But they aren't in my alliance, i only have military access. I should use my own supplies and oil or am i mistaken here?

I'm not sure if you trace supply through MA provinces or if they are actually supplying you.

Dumb question but cant you send a convoy to the province?

 

[Wolf52]

Yes, but when the stuff gets there they can do anything they want with it. Sort of like lend-lease except you dont get it back.

Don't know. Maybe a mod can clarify what the rule is. It seems to be strange to use their supplies and oil.

The question isn't dumb.
The problem is that the receiving country sends all the oil home. So if i want to have oil for the troops i would have to send more oil convoys than the "ai" can send home.

I've already had enough of that with Vichy France. They refuse to let me supply his troops in Djibouti. I'm sending 20 ships with supply there, but the Vichy units (exp. forces) just die...

Shouldn't Djibouti retain sufficient oil to supply the troops stationed there, instead of sending every drop back to France?

That seems like a small bug in itself.

I mean supplies in this case.

It's in the Portugese colonies where i suffer from lack of oil.

Either way, presented with a needed commodity, whatever part of the program is responsible for determining convoy shipments should leave at least one full day's supply behind every time it ships to the mother country.

*bump*

How should it be?

you use their supplies and oil. however you can still send your own convoy there.

supplies from your own source will only be traced into an adhacent allied province.


NOT A BUG.

Isnt the bug that you are forced to use their supplies and thus when you conquer another province, it becomes your ally's?

I think they said a long time ago (and many times since) that this was WaD. Note that this doesn't happen with MA though so it is not really relevant to S. Klaus' problem.

So the problem (if any) is the same as with Germans in Italian North Africa: you need to send the mother country enough oil so they have a surplus then they will send oil to their colonies for military use. Also if they have a working economy they should send supplies but if not you need to send your own convoy.
