On the base screen, under stockpiling, there are Supply and Supplies Required. I have ran some tests and the Supply seems to be shown in tons (as with ship cargo) but the Supplies Required doesn't appear to be shown as such. If it isn't tons then what value is one of these supply points?

I haven't been able to find this where in the manual or by searching the forum threads where this is explained and was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction.

Supply is the amount of supply actually on hand, expressed in supply points. One supply point requires one ton of cargo space for transport purposes, but otherwise expressing supply points as tons of supply can be misleading at times.

Supplies Required is an estimate of the amount of supplies the base will need in the next 30 days, expressed in supply points. It's based on the number of supply points consumed in the last turn.

Thank you, it is the 30 day thing that I was missing.

Do you know if all other "Supplies Required" numbers are also reflected as 30 day estimates )eg LCUs

It's a dynamic number and can change each turn since it is updated based on the amount of supplies spent in the last turn execution. As far as I know the number takes into account all supplies used at the base so LCU's, Air units etc. can all add to the figure shown. I don't think load requests by fleets are taken into consideration, but I'm not sure, so it might.

Yes supplies required is a 30 day figure in all cases I believe.
