For supply.. each island needed support, hence convoys. Need to send convoys to increase supply.

For Port size I would have to check history.

Wake island is incorrect too... it should be a level one.

In the Rising Sun you have options to increase port sizes.

I still need to fix Wake in the Rising Sun... sure it was built larger and made into a small Naval station but in the next version of the Rising Sun it will be a level one or two with the option for a both players to upgrade the port for a cost in PP.

If I find that you correct concerning Truk I will add option to increase size in the Rising Sun.

It will be hard for me to find the size of the port. I do know that all the ports in Asia could barely support a heavy cruiser in WW2. It was a big headache for the Allies as it was very hard on logistical support and movement for BB's and CV's.

If you can post a link as to the size of the ships that could be stationed and repaired at Truk that may help in pushing for a correction in the next patch.

The problem with ports is size also determines what can be repaired.

I really don't think they used Midway to repair cruisers, like replacing main or secndary guns.

I believe there were a few island that were just used or converted into docking stations.

We can't simulate that in SOP, so Truk may be out of the question.

Do you really want the Japanese to deploy and repar BB's CV's and Cruisers at Truk?

It effects balance. Think about it and please teach me something if you can find documented referance online.

Lets wait and see what Anarz or Doom says.......

Edit: I have been think about doing something to force the Allies to attack Truk. probably needs 1 PP and 3 VP

Rabaul does not create supplies on their own.  No large towns, resources and factories are there.  So you need to ship supplies from a bigger base to Rabaul.

In WITP, I cannot repair BBs in Truk. I need to ship them back to the home islands.

Not a complaint but I am confused about Truk and Rabaul, first Truk was a major anchorage for the Japanese naval forces but you show it as a 1, can it be made larger so more ships can be stationed there? Rabaul was also a major naval base but you only allow a maxium 10 for supply could someone explain to me why this is?
