I would preciate bigger, it seems you have an allie in Iran, that will help Goering's Gamble quite a lot.
Ok, I can't get the picture to be bigger, just keep increasing resolution, can I just give a link to a website that will display the screen shots so they can be enlarged by whomever wishes to see them? I have seen someone do that before here in the forums, but I don't know how.
Ok, here we go this should be it now. This is the Axis position in the Far East. I will link everyone to the Eastern Front in a few.
I am using a "direct link". I believe this may be better.

I believe I placed the screenshot from the mid east, that is Spain doing that. And I also didn't realize that the Italians are driving on Istanbul, and its undefended! But my friends says when its the ottoman empire the capital is moved to Ankara. I dont know if that helps me any.
What in the world happened to your TC? 1900/1000?
That means that your entire Army... everywhere on the board... is fighting at about 50% effectiveness. Is half of your Army in SR mode?
The situation in the Balkans looks ugly... if you can't find the reserves to mount a southward drive and cut them off (and then destroy the pocket), it's only a matter of time before they roll up your entire front in Germany.

How the heck did you get such horrible TC with a 250 division army? 
Are they all tanks?

Could be terrible partisan problems, buildings waiting to be placed, a lot of things.
I'm almost possitive that if he had 250 tank divs that TC would be the least of his worries (oil supply? what oil? we run on fumes, have done so all last decade)

Shouldn't be that bad with a Dissent under 1%... it's not as if he was halfway to Vladivostok, after all. He barely has the 1939-40 conquests.

True. I was just commenting on what posibilities there was (in general).
It's not like I have done anything like that. No, that Europe wasn't completely wiped of all my troops when two provinces revolted and it took forever to get them back, no, never...
I wasn't aware that TC had that type of effect. I knew it was a negative effect but not that bad! Anyways, I did mount an offensive towards Constanta, and I held it for a while but I coudln't smash through him in Yugoslavia, the result is the current situation. And yes I do have many fuel buring units, somewhere between 45 and 55 armored and mechanized units, plus my large navy, airforce , and large quantities of self propelled artillery and tank destroyers. But thats not a problem. I have the resources of N. America and Europe, plus several deals with neutrals. My dissent is almost always at 0% but I had a stupid event, and it was barely getting down.
What is SR mode? And how can I improve my TC situation. Keep in mind several areas of Europe and N. America have been nuked several times. And how likely is an effective counter-offensive against the Balkans like to be with no leadership at the head of my armies? Keeping in mind that my buddy has the same situation.

Tanks and mechanized divisions rape your TC. To improve situation, get more IC (factories), research TC-giving techs (I assume you already did) or get rid of units that consume lots of supplies and fuel and suppress partisans.

SR = "Strategic redeployment".
(Ignore this if you know what it already - you can move armies big distances faster in this mode but it puts a big strain on your Transport Capacity. Also, if you have a lot of units just built but not deployed yet, they count too i think. Especially watch out for airbases built but hanging around waiting to be deployed, i think that they add a tonne too.)

Short answer : RTFM.
Long Answer : Your TC (together with Offensive Supply) directly affects your Supply Efficiency, which (together with Province Infrastructure and any adjacent HQ) affects your Effective Supply Efficiency, which in turn affects your Combat modifiers, your Movement rate, your Reinforcement and Upgrade rates... a whole bunch of important factors.
Your SE (Supply Efficiency) will be 100% unless your TC is overloaded, in which case it will be :
SE = 100% x (TC available) / (TC needed)
Offensive Supply adds +50% to SE, but causes an additional TC load, thus making your Supply situation better for those units in Offensive Supply, but worse for everyone else in your Army.
Your ESE (Effective Supply Efficiency) will be the average between your SE and the Infrastructure of the province your unit is sitting in... boosted slightly be an adjacent HQ, if one is available.
ESE = HQ bonus + (SE + Province Infrastructure) / 2
The combat modifier is half the difference between your ESE and 100%.
Combat Modifier = (ESE - 100%) / 2
You can improve your TC situation by building or capturing more Factories (it's a bit late for that in your game), using Ministers that directly improve your IC or TC, reducing Partisan Activity as much as possible, keeping Dissent at zero, releasing Puppets from occupied territory (although this causes new Dissent), building fewer Armored units (each Armored Division uses as much TC as an entire Infantry Army), parking your Armor and not moving it, keeping your Deployement queue empty and setting Full Central Planning.

It sounds like a problem to me... as mentioned above, each Armored unit uses as much TC as an entire Infantry Army. Right at the moment, TC is one of your most urgent problems.

I hate to keep saying RTFM, but... RTFM.
SR mode is Strategic Redeployement. You select a unit, then <control>-right-click on the destination. This brings up a pop-up menu where you can select "Strategic Redeployement".
It represents Rail movement... the unit disappears from the board into your Redeployement queue, and reappears some time later, at the destination.
Good points: the unit burns no Fuel while in SR mode, it gets there more quickly, and is immune to attack until it's back on the board.
Bad points: it hoses your TC, the units arrive at half ORG, you can't change your mind once you start redeploying a unit, and if the destination and all surrounding provinces are lost... the unit just vanishes.

That's a tough one... can't you promote some lower-ranking leaders? If you are entirely out of leaders, that's about it for offensives... of course, the same applies to your buddy.
