Sending Oil in Convoys

[unmerged(59714)]

Hi,
I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I can't see a search function.

I am playing as the UK and the year is 1943. I have taken North Africa from Italy, as well as most of Italy itself, but they still have some territories.

My problem is that I can't send oil to my troops in North Africa, it says I have no oil in Plymouth, but I can see I have 41k worth of oil in my resource depot in London.

If you have oil in London and a land connection from there to Plymouth, you have oil in Plymouth. Simple as that.

Do your troops in Sidi Barrani lack oil? If they don´t, the convoy is sending oil - it just doesn´t show up on screen.

I have to back denis on this, i find this happens all the time with the UK.

Everyday i flood that convoy route with hundreds of ships, do that for 3 days and you should have a good stockpile for a month - having auto-convoy means it resets every 24hours....

also try prioritising those divisions in north africa.

I definatley find allied troops can get annihialated like this when they're garrisoning your land.

Related: First time I loaded the game and saw that you can't send convoys wherever you want, from wherever you want - I was very disappointed. I guess it was done in the name of simplification for the player's benefit, but you should never take away the player's capability at the same time. For HoI3, they should have all the capability available, but include the 'I hate micromanaging' features which can be either used, or turned off.

It's like how the air forces function. I hate it.

Pretty simple. Just click "automatically do" or something along those lines down by the trade area and it'll send your troops enough supplies. There's always a possibility that the axis have captured Gibraltar and Suez and so you can't send supplies.
