There are known supply problems in China. Frequently, though, the program is just temporarily confused, and a supply problem can be fixed by saving your game, exiting, and restoring. If that does not work, then there is a more serious bug. If reloading does not work, please post your game; someone will want to look at it.

(To post a game, save the game in zip format. If using Windows, go to C\Matrix Games\World in Flames\Scenarios\Global War\Saved Games, find your game, right click on it, click on "Send to", then click on "Compressed (zipped) folder". This will get you a zipped folder; then click on "Post reply" on the forum, and, after you have written a message explaining what it is, click on "Click here to upload", and browse for your zipped file. Don't try and post an unzipped file; the forum will not accept it.)

The problem that I've had with this work around is that it sometimes only temporarily clears up the software's temporary confusion. More than once I've reloaded it to bring everyone back in supply, declared my attacks, and then when it was time to resolve the attack half the units were out of supply again.

I find just picking up the headquarters and pressing esc to put it back down recalculates the supply and fixes the problem for me. The only problem I find is when it's the allies turn if they manage to ground strike anything with their lend leased planes my units get screwed since they are "out of supply" and disorganized even though it should only be one. :(

It's every game I play all I have to do is pick the headquarters up and press esc to put them back in supply.



edit: I just checked and none of the games I have saved currently is showing any of the Japanese in that area out of supply right now. As soon as I see one I will save the game and send it over.

Sorry, I thought you were reporting that only lend lease planes that successfully ground strike are not only disorganizing the unit but at the same time putting it out of supply. I guess you meant they are OOS during the allied impulse when they shouldn't be (and then this is really bad if a ground strike gets lucky)?

That is correct. Japanese units are often out of supply during the allied impulse when they should not be. They are also out of supply at other points where the game can't be saved and reloaded, or where the other tricks to get them to resupply are not working.

My own theory is that it's the rail hex right below the lake, with the U turn in the rail line. I say that because my supply is fine until I get past that hex, and then it's fine again after I link the rail line up in Hengyang.
