The rule prevents you from taking it all, but it keeps coming in turn after turn. You'll find yourself running 700,000 supplies to Oz in no time.
700,000!!! geez...i am thinking WAY to small
The problem, early on (assuming playing the Allies in #15), is getting all the AK's, AP's, and TK's moved to Karachi and San Francisco in the first place. The real challenge is getting all those ships out of the western Pacific before they get blown to hell by the Japanese. And they are hidden EVERYWHERE! I chose Tiljap fro a lot of them, as my "collection point", and Sydney for the rest. After about two weeks I had over 70 AK's collected at each! The computer also hides a LOT of AK's at Diampnd Harbor and elsewhere in eastern India, and they are not there on turn 1 but show up pretty quickly. You really need to get them to SF and Karachi, so you can start your system up....they do nothing for you sitting in Syndey or the DEI...
The other complicating thing is efficiently using your AP's mixed with AK's to move air units and ground units from SF to wherever they need to go. At the start, they are scattered all over the West Coast, so I march them all the SF. In India, I chose to empty out most non-base force units and march them along rail lines to the "front" in eastern India. Took about three weeks for all of them to get where I wanted them, but now they are resting up and digging in for the inevitable Japanese assault on Burma.
I'm also surprised at how quick the Japanese are diving south. Dec 30 and already they're at Lae and moving into the northern Solomons, and have taken all the Gilberts....
