Status: offline 		Ummm ok in stock in all my games I use autoconvoy extensively to reduce the burden its one of the ways of speeding up turns.

The key as the allies is to only do it from one side.

e.g. Karachi OR SF - if you do both weirdness ensues and only select bases to activate after you have a secure LOC to them..

So has this been fixed?? Or is this your gentle way of telling us to live with it as is?

Status: offline 		I am new to WitP, and am looking forward to the release of AE, but the auto convoy system has wrecked my games so far in AE. Is the concensus that you use the old UV method of Continuous supply? If so this would explain why I could never get going as the Japanese

I actually don't find manually organizing convoys that onerous. The big time consumer to me is moving subs, not organizing convoys. I would just do it manually. If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself!

Status: offline 		Will overland supply be automatic by computer determined requirements or can you manually force supply to certain bases or hoard it when you don't want it to leave a base?  Has this be changed or addressed at all?  Tx

Status: offline 		I have gotton good results using auto convoy as the IJN if you only select the ports with production items (oil, factories, HI, etc.). The auto-convoy will shift the resources and oil around in a seemly meaningless fashion, but the results are excellent. I'm not a good player and usually get wiped out by a competent allied player, but my economy usually rocks!

Apparently with the new system in AE you can set a minimum supply figure at a base and the base will try to retain that figure (ie. by drawing supply overland from other bases if necessary). So the frustration in WiTP of building up a good stock of supply only to see it whither away to rear bases should be gone.

But auto convoy only SENDS the new supply AFTER the base is already low. So by the time the convoy finally arrives the base is almost out, and AF, Port, Fort production has slowed to a crawl!!
