Supply

[unmerged(27733)]

hi there

just a question:
in my last game i opened several convoys to transport rubber and oil ...everything worked fine. But than my convoys didnt transport anything anymore. i did the same as i did with all the other convoys, but when i put my mouse over the convoy it says it transports nothing (0 rubber, 0 oil), despite i had tons of them in my depot. i tried this out with several other convoys and it was the same. Is that a known bug? Is the number of convoys limited? Any other suggestions.

another question:
despite my armies in foreign countries are supplied (it is shown in the unit information window and i send convoys there), sometimes they do not regain organisation. What could be the reason for this?

and last question:
if my units are supplied from an ally (f.e. england) when i was fighting with the US in europe, are they always automatically supplied? Or should i sent regular convoys to that regions as well?

thanks for help

Only one convoy from each remote area works. Multiple convoys do not work. Cancel all existing convoys to an area. Look below your capital and identify the supply center for that area. Create one massive resources convoy from that province back to a land connection to your capital.

The supply map shows that units in green areas are getting some supplies. It is not specific enough to say whether there are enough supplies getting there to fully support all units in that theater. Supplies are consumed hourly and are sent daily. For org to rise the units have to stay in supply all day. There may be enough supplies at 1800 but zero supplies in that area at 2300, meaning that your troops do not recover organization. I'm not sure about the exact hours, but the concept is correct.

The only thing that you can do is to increase the supply convoy to that foreign area and hope that your ally does not send away the supplies. The ally controls that situation, not you.

There is nothing in game that tells you whether your ally can supply all the troops in that area. The UK usually has enough IC to supply troops while France or Belgium will have a tough time supplying Allied troops in their territory. The only way that you can be sure is to save, start a new game as that ally, then load the saved game. You can then see what your ally has at that moment to supply your troops. My general rule of thumb would be to send supplies my troops in an ally's territory except when the ally is the UK.
