How Supply Recaptured Port

[OklahomaCity]

As Soviet I recaptured Odessa by making an amphibious landing with two cavalry units. The 2 cavalry units are out of supply. How do I get Odessa to provide supplies. I hold Sevastapol but I am not allowed to move a HQ with railroad repair units to Odessa. How can I send a HQ unit to Odessa to do railroad repair?

seaborne cavalry...ouch [:D]

In you can maintain them there I think the port will repair itself to apoint when you will be allowed to move the HQ, but do not expect to have it done in a overnight

I don't think you'll be able to do real rail repair from the Odessa port until it is linked with your actual rail network.  The port itself serves as a rail head for purposes of supply tracing (not sure what the damage thresh hold for that is, I wish a dev or anyone who knows could comment), but I don't think you can use it start new rail line.

If a recaptured port needs to be linked to a rail network in order to repair the port, how can behind enemy lines amphibious attacks be supplied other than by air? As you noted, hope a dev or someone else could comment.

The port will supply them with limited supply by sea after it is repaired.
