Where then the sold items are taken from ?

Sold items are taken from your capital.

I'm on my second game of HoI, Italy this time

Stoping your trades will only work untill you run out of rubber. Perhaps you were trading more coal than you were making? Thus by stopping your trades you once again have enough coal to run your industry, your rubber stockpile if probably plumeting though.

Have you got convoys taking resources from your colanies to your homeland? Convoys are a one way thing so a convoy taking supplies to Greece isn't bring its resources back to Italy. The produstion screen tells you where resources are pileing up, aside from supplies and a little oil, you don't want any resources outside your capital.

If you conquor yugoslavia you won't have to worry about convoys to Albania or Greece And Romainia has nice supplies of oil while yours in that area.

Definitively a good idea What would happened if Yougaslavia went into my alliance, as it is closed to do so ? Woulld I still need to manage a convoy from Italy to Greece/Albany ?

Hmm, I know supplies can go through allies but I don't know if resources can be taken back to you homeland through them. I'll fire up my game and see...

Well it appears that only supplies can travel through your allies lands. Resources still have to be transported.

Another little jewel I have noticed. I have 3 Inf divisions in Albania. They should use 3.6 supply a day. I set up a convoy of 34 transports from Taranto hauling supplies. I have a stockpile of supplies in Rome equalling over 1000 points, yet the convoy some days say it is hauling nothing, and some days it hauls 19 supplies, some days 36, it just seems to make no sense.

Any ideas??

Island or land holdings unconnected to you homeland only hold supplies for one week and transports only move supplies there to top it up.

Theres a few places which don't seem to have a limitit on the supplies they can hold but most places can only stockpile one weeks worth of supplies/oil. I don't think anyone has figured out why some provinces can hold more yet.

Oh, also: I've been having this exact same problem, and my reasoning is that I'm trading away too many of one resource (or turning to much coal into oil to turn into rubber (or does that not happen?)). Can someone tell me the ratio of coal:steel:rubber that makes up an IC unit? (heh, I almost typed "an ICP unit").

1 IC needs 2 coal, 1 steel and 1/2 rubber per day. You should be careful not to trade too many resources away on the world market each day as at the moment the game likes to take the resources needed for industry off the stuff you make each day, not from your stock pile.

infrastructure?

Doesn't seem to be.
