I have a situation where bp's are being lost and I'm not sure why. Might be user error, or might be a bug, which is why I'm posting it here. US is sending 2 bp's to USSR and 5 to FF in Dakar, plus 4 to CW. CW receives theirs ok. Now, I understand why the USSR's allotment is lost, as the pipeline was not complete FF on the other hand received 3, but the other 2 were lost. I believe I have a sufficient pipeline in place as I have 4 unused cp's from the east coast, central atlantic, and Cape Verde. Is this not the only requirement for transport? Also, I notice that everything says it is being sent from Washington? Not sure I understand that. The bp's that make it show them coming from Baltimore and Philly. (thanks Bo)
I'll attach the last Production plan prelim from US for perusal. Please let me know if I's misunderstood the process. Thanks!

No, there is another requirement: there is a limit to how many build points may be sent to a single city.

quote:

13.6.4. LEND-LEASE
TRANSPORT
During the production step, you transport the promised build points to any city or major port in the recipient�s home country (current home country in the case of the Commonwealth). You do this in exactly the same way as you transport resources (see 13.6.1), except that you can also transport an additional 2 build points to the capital and 1 to each other city and major port cumulative, each turn (e.g. you could transport 6 build points to London each turn; 2 for being the capital, 3 for the factories and 1 for the major port in the hex). Promised build points that can�t be transported are lost.

In this case, Dakar is the capital (2 points) and a major port (1 point), so its limit is three.

This isn't a bug.

From RAW:

During the production step, you transport the promised build points to
any city or major port in the recipient�s home country (Britain�s in the
case of the Commonwealth). You do this in exactly the same way as
you transport resources (see 13.6.1), except that you can also transport
an additional 2 build points to the capital and 1 to each other city and
major port cumulative, each turn (e.g. you could transport 6 build
points to London each turn; 2 for being the capital, 3 for the factories
and 1 for the major port in the hex). Promised build points that can�t
be transported are lost.

Dakar is a major port and the capital of Free France. There are no other cities or major ports in Senegal (the Free French home country). This means that Free France can only receive 3 BP from the US each turn.

To late...
