As part of the DH scenario Germany 1933, "my" troops have occupied Kuwait (a port) is available. Gibraltar is occupied by the allied Spain but Suez is still occupied by the UK. Unfortunately no supply goods are transported to Kuwait via convoy! The port of Kuwait is not listed in the port list for manual supply routes .... Why? How do I get supplies to Kuwait? The route around Africa should work, shouldn't it? Enough convoy ships / freighters and escorts are available in the pool!

Do you know that enemy ships and planes can destroy your convoys thus cutting your supply.

1) Ports for freshly landed units are only shown after the midnight tick.
2) Some ports are not shown when you do it manually (no idea why). Workaround: Auto-generate supply convoys. If you want to set the number of convoys and escorts yourself, just leave the "auto-maintain" unchecked. This way the route gets initiated and you can set the number freely to zero or high or whatever.
3) After some more conquests it might be useful to delete all routes, so the auto-finder can find new shorter routes.

It should. But it wil take really many convoys.

btw: Is there a landroute from Kuwait to the Mediterranean? And from there to Italy or any coastareas you own already a convoy in effect? Or what are your units in Kuwait showing where they are supplied from?

Can you trace supply form Kuwait to one of your/allied provinces with supplies?

Probably has something to do with this setting in misc.txt

Code:
# Convoy system options for allied (own country and friendly nations controlled land connected provinces) and own (own country controlled and land connected provinces) areas:
#    0 - Ignore allied areas, work on own areas only. Default (old) behavior
#    1 - Convoys can be to/from own country controlled provinces only, but allied area is used too (so there's only one convoy to allied area per country)
#    2 - Convoys can use allied provinces as start/end destinations as long as the country controls at least one province in the allied area
#    Note 1: Convoys can start from oversea puppet provinces regardless of this setting (required to transport puppet's resources to master's capital)
#    Note 2: Options 1 and 2 work best if "Merge and relocate provincial depots to the best province in the area." option is enabled too.
2 is default
