Air Interdiction of Port Supply

Air Interdiction of Port Supply doesn't seem to be working.

I created a test based off the 1941 scenario to determine the effectiveness of Air Interdiction of Port Supply. The Axis have 1 AS, 1 GA, 2 TAC, and 1 Strategic within 8 hexes of Malta in clear weather. The units on Malta use 38 supply, which leaves a stockpile of 62 in Malta (100-38). I verified this number with no axis air units in range. With the air units in range, the port supply is still 62, meaning that there is no Air Interdiction of Port Supply in this case (I tried it with air units in both Mission and Support modes).

This is with Version 1.00.26.

I tested Naval Interdiction of Port Supply and that works.

I think you have to put them in naval mission mode.... I think. It was a rule change. But I don't remember if that was just for interdiction or not.

Yes, the air units must be in Full Support and Bomb Naval. Thanks.

Put the planes in support mode not mission mode.

Support flies missions on the enemy turn, Mission mode does not.

That is what it is saying. Full support and naval bombing.

Once I found the information in the manual, I got it to work too. Thanks.
