How does one go about moving a convoy point from one port to another, say to redeploy the units to new resources far from the original home port? I can't seem to be able to abort or return to base CP, even unused ones, to a friendly port.

Well, if the two ports are within three movement points (two intervening sea areas), you can simply move the CP from one port to the next.

Usually the two ports will be farther than that. Move the CP out to a sea area between the two ports. That will be all that the unit can do that movement phase. Next movement phase, go to that CP, left-click on it, and take it of "Sentry" status. That is, when you left-click on it, you will get a menu; one of the items will say "Sentry", and it should be checked when you open the menu. When you click on the sentry menu item, the check mark will go away. At that point, you can move the CP. Alternatively, you can leave the CP in the sea area, ane return it during the return to base step. To repeat, the key point is to take the CP off of sentry status.
