Save game editing

[Spricar]

I've some problems with my latest (although very interesting) game. As Italy I entered the war in 1940, drove British out of N. Africa, took Suez and pushed into Iraq. After conquering the later I attacked Turkey, took all their VPs and made them a puppet. When Axis-Comintern war began I pushed from Turkey, took Caucasus and Sevastopol. Now, the problem is, that all that territory went to Turkey and they were unable to quell the partisans. So there was a ton of provinces which rebelled and it was up to me and Germans to retake them and as soon as we did that they switched ownership to German. The current situation is that Germans hold the Sevastopol while the provinces to the east are of mixed german/Turkish ownership. And now the problem;
All my Italian divisions are supplied from a province next to black sea (Tarnipol or smth) and this province too had switched ownership from Turkish to German. But since Germans don't have a direct land connection from Sevastopol to Tarnipol? (there is one (1) ALLIED! Turkish province (Novosirsk) between them and since HOI2 don't know how to trace supply through allied territory Germans have to ferry supplies from Sevastopol to Novosirsk by sea (!). Which is next to impossible with <100 transports they have. So now all axis division are boged down in Russia since the game doesn't know how to get supplies through allied territory. As this is ridiciollus to say the least, not to mention highly unrealistic I decided to manually give +transports to Germans. But I don't seem to be able to find them in my save game. Does anybody know how and where in my save game can I find them? (I know I can load as Germany and cheat, but I don't want to do that since it will mess my Italian OOB (assigning good generals to third rate garrison units in Greece).

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

Load the savegame in Notepad, then search for Mauser. Scroll down past all of the tech teams and you see a listing of Germany's current stockpiles of resources. About halfway down the list is their number of transports.

Alternatively you can give them a free transport every turn by adding it to their free resources.

A few options you can choose from.

1. Adding transports might help, but there is no way to be sure Germany will use them correctly. The transports should be in a listing of various quantities owned by nations, like rare materials and a-bombs. The exact location I forget, but scrolling down from the start of the German data, there is a long list of relations, I believe it is after that.

2. Edit the control of the one province from Turkey to Germany, thus allowing a single supply line. To do this, do an f12 cheat to get the province ID, then go to the controlled provinces of German and add that province, and remove it from Turkey. I recommend this one since it is easier to find, and more likely to provide relief for your problem.

how can I do this, I mean I searched for a province with that ID (255) in the save game but it doesn't say who is in control of it. To be exact;

province = {
id = 255
control = {
year = 1941
month = june
day = 25
hour = 14
}
terrain = "hills"
infra = {
type = infrastructure
location = 255
size = 0.6000
current_size = 0.6000
}
}
