Supply Question - 11/25/2005 11:03:14 AM

Hi, all.
I bought this amazing game about a week ago, and now I'm enjoying it,
oh, I'd rather say I'm studying it.
I am currently playing as allied, and it's May, 1942.
As I am struggling with logistics, I was wondering which allied
bases get supplies from off-map(or are they generated within the city?)
It seems that bases such as San Fran, San diego, Karachi
are getting flow of supplies every turn. Or, are they producing
the supplies with their industries?
So, my question is, which allied bases get free supplies,automically, every turn?
looking foward to answers from battle-worn veterans..
forgive my English, it's not my first language.
Thanks!

Such bases have amount of free(offmap supply coming in) supply showed like this in the base window:
Supply: 10000/500(first number is a whole amount of supply in the base, the second number is a supply coming each day FOR FREE!)

Have fun!

In addition several of the chinese bases get a small amount per day.

On top of that anything with resource centres produces an equal number of supplies per day. Also anything with heavy industry will produce an equal number of supply points if the conditions for the HI to function are met, namely that there is greater than HI in resoruces at the base and there is greater than 2xHI in oil at the base.

Someone produced a spreadhseet which lists all production at all bases, including offboard production. This can be found on Spooky's website.

HI dudtorpedos , welcome to the community !

All advice aboue is correct, allies (apart from china) rarely run out of supply, its just moving it to the right places that counts. As allies i Haul tons from Karachi and bombay ( both produce iirc) to perth ahen under australia if needed in the SW pacific. leaving the US to supply the main pacific and also SW and australia if available. OIL runs from san diego to sydney 1/month too. to keep the aussie HI working as advertised ( you dont really need to but im a nit picker ).

and have fun !

Importing oil to Australia also helps the Aircraft factories there as well. I would recommend sending tankers with oil to Brisbane or Sydney or any base that has oil reserves. if you drop oil off at bases without oil refineries it may just end up sitting there or disappear altogether. Australia will produce it's own supply without any extra oil help, but besides ,setting up some oilers to transport the black gold is fun , especially for micro-managers like me!!! Have fun and don't hesitate to ask questions. We are here to help.
