As Japanese when you use AEs to supply in port, do you have to have them assigned to a Replenishment TF?

Good question. I'd add, do AEs work? I've attempted to use them but they never seem to do anything.

AEs dont really do anything until 1945 if I read the manual correctly, and even at that I doubt that IF the Japs had a replentishment TF available then it wouldnt work. IIRC the manual says AEs assigned to an allied TF. I have never played in 1945 so I have no experience with it.

Personally I use them as supply transports and cannon fodder.

Yeah, something tells me that in 1945, Japan probably won't be doing that many far-flung operations that would require the use of replentishment TFs...

Before 1945 they are supposed to replenish the ammo in ships if their TF and the TF being replenished are in a port hex. However, I have been having troubles getting them to actually replenish that ammo, so I'm not sure what's up...
