Can anyone explain why my supply in Burma has vanished> Rangoon is supposed to be main supply but is level 1. I have looked at the manual but am struggling to understand why and what to do about it.

Once Moulmein is taken all the supply problems will be sorted out as it's a port that's outside the range of main supply and so will begin port supply in the area.

Thank you. That is what happened in my game - now I know why.

The next issue becomes that most of the allied units will be in Basic Supply once they move into Thailand, meaning no reinforcements and a small effectiveness recovery rate (3% - although I have not tested to see if the hex and HQ bonus apply). I do like this as it makes supply a factor as it should be. However I have yet to figure out how to counter the problem.

Status: offline 		From my experience, the moment you have Moulmein, Rangoon will also add its 80 port supply to any hexes that are port instead of main supply and you can afford so many corps sized units and land based air by the end of 1943 it just becomes untenable for Japan to hold South-East Asia throughout 1944 regardless of supply as you can just rotate fresh units out constantly.

Status: offline 		I'm pretty sure your issue there is that none of the Malayan ports south of Moulmein offer allied supply until you take Saigon, Kuala Lumpar or Batavia. That special rule remains in effect for the whole game but is easily forgotten about in '44.

Never mind, just looked at the AAR. It's main VS port supply conflict again in that screenshot, I think due to the HQ extending level 1 main supply across a lot of that Northern sector.

I get that. Just trying to understand the "how's and why's" so I can manage the situation better.
This is my learning game against the Japanese AI, so just pushing stuff around really.
