Example...Look at a convoy when it has arrived at Cape Town, (for instance)...You can put your pointer on the convoy icon and click..It will give you the breakdown of exactly how many ships it has, along with details of the cargo...Might be 6000 men...30 Valentine tanks, 12000 gallons of oil, etc.

Status: offline 		I understand that the fuel and supplies brought in by those convoys are added to the base's inventory just like any other supply. But, the rest of the stuff - tanks, troops, etc - do those just go to pools? What happens with them?

Status: offline 		I remember getting a dialogue saying that convoy couldn't dock in Capetown because docks full. Fortunately I cleared in out and all good...I wonder if I had not whether convoy would have unloaded?

Status: offline 		The reinforcement/supply convoys show up as land units - no dock space is used by them. You must have been seeing a message from some of your own convoys arriving and not finding a berth. Congestion at Cape Town is quite common.
