engineer -> RE: Japenese supply (4/21/2014 9:15:08 PM)

This is an interesting topic. Tocaff has the right top level advice. Supplies in Japan will tend to concentrate at Osaka, Tokyo, and some northen cities with lots of resources (at least in stock). Often you may have factory expansions, e.g. Sasebo or other secondary cities, or changes in production (e.g. from Topsy to Zero's) where nothing is happening because there are only a few thousand supply points at the city and this prevents the local factories from finishing their expansions. In those cases you can load up supplies from Osaka and dump them in the target city. Getting the total above 20k is usually sufficient. Repeat as required until your factories have finished their expansions.
Don't go nuts with changing things in the factories willy nilly since you can forfeit the game to the Allies if you run yourself out of supply in 1942.
If you have spare sea-lift after shipping resources and don't need the supplies at the periphery, then send the supplies home. If you have a good convoy sustem I usually have plenty of AK capacity.
The other thing that happens in the late game is that the Japanese air defenses get hollowed out so even if you have plenty of reserve air frames, the various bases won't have enough supply to replace combat losses. The only places with sufficient supply will likely be Osaka and Tokyo so you end up needing to shuttle squadrons through there to come back to strength. And once you'er into the that pattern then there is nothing like a few hundred B-29's on an airfield raid to ruin your day by destroying 300 plans on the ground.
