I thought that it might be the weather that was stopping resources getting through, but we have had a clear turn but Finland is still not getting the supplies through.

In the summer you can only send resources if you have available MS; note that most of your MS will already be in use transporting resources from Sweden to Germany. So you should check to see how many MS you have and how many are being used for the Swedish route. An odd thing IMHO is that even if you capture Leningrad and have a rail connection with Helsinki, you can still only send resources to Finland via sea with MS.

Looks like a bug.

I understand that. But if Leningrad is captured and there is an unbroken rail link to Helsinki from Berlin why would production or resources transferred from Germany to Finland need to be shipped by sea at all? In other words, it shouldn't matter if there is a blizzard or not since the production or resources should be going overland by rail.

I believe the game is programmed so that resources and oil transferred to Finland can only be transported by sea, even if there is a rail link.

I agree. Germany should be able to send production/oil to Finland via rail if the rail lines are open.

Status: offline 		Alvaro,

If the Axis capture Leningrad and have a direct rail link from Berlin to Helsinki the game does not (as far as I can tell) allow Germany to transfer production/resources to Finland via rail, only via the sea convoy route. The problem with this is that it limits the amount of production/resources that can be transferred to the number of available MS. So is this WAD, or is this something that you will be fixing?

All resources go through the capital. Thus.....

So I will have to do something about that.

Status: offline 		Why would Merchants be needed if it's supposed to go by rail? In my current game as Axis, I have owned Leningrad and all of the hexes around it for a year and a half and I have never been able to send PP's or Oil to Finland except via sea.

If it is A.I. post a dropbox onedrive cloud link to the game where I can download and I will look at it.
