Supply depot problems...

[unmerged(37820)]

I just noted something the other day....

I invaded UK by landing Paras in Scotland (I don't think I am alone on that). Then, when the AI started shipping supplies to my army in Scotland a depot was created in Dunfermilne. OK, not very surprising.

Quite a while later after I'd conquered the Britain, I noticed that the US were hitting my convoy line from the continent to Dunfermilne. Pretty annoying. So, why am I shipping supplies to Scotland when I could just ferry them to southern Britain instead?

As it turns out, the supply depot in Dunfermilne had remained. What's more, I could not move it - and I could not set up convoys to any port in Britain but Dunfermilne!

Quite annoying! I ended up editing the saved game (Dunfermilne is province #8, Portsmouth is #21 and makes much more sense if anyone is interested), but it would be nice if moving around your depots/setting up convoys to any port could be made from in-game...

Good suggestion

I have a different problem. Playing as USA with no allies, I invaded the Japanese home islands and now have conquered all between Hiroshima and Akita. After four months, no supply depot has been set up for them and I cannot create one. All my troops in that territory are out of supply. Is there anything that can be done?

That seems very odd... Have you turned off auto create convoys? If you have, you will have to manually create the convoy to Japan (which is a pain).
