kbfchicago -> RE: HELP: Setting up Supply Task Force (3/10/2020 9:20:20 PM)

Hello Bill, welcome to the game of your life. Hans, as usual, is right on. A little more detail... Use "CS" convoy types, by selecting "CS:(location)" vs. "Human Control". You need to start from the 'push' point, so send that Karachi tanker to Abadan to set up a recurring run of fuel from Abadan to Karachi. Note, once you've selected "CS:Location" in the lower right corner you can set to return with a specific load as well. So for example, you can run supplies from the Cape to Columbo and return with Resources. Set supplies from East Coast to Cape and return with resources... setting up supply chain from East coast to Columbo and return resources to US (this is not particularly important in stock version but is a needed action in LST's mod, which I like to play). To do a pull (vs. a push) like you described you send the TF to the supply/resource/fuel point (action one), load'em up and send to the desired destination (action two). Nothing automated about it. Tends to be the way I work it, only using "CS" convoys for regular big moves of supply/resources/fuel, generally between off map "big" depots. Leaving the local delivery to manual setup. Note as well CS convoys will suck up fuel...so watch your refueling settings! Especially if you're using them to support your forward most bases. Happy gaming Kevin
