Ship supplies overland.

I'm a japanese player. My inner chinese bases are running out of supplies. is there any way, exept by air (which really doesnt transport much) to get more supplies to them? maybe trucks or something?

thanks

nope. supplies move automatically from your coastal bases. supply those and use air transport.

If you move an HQ unit to where they are at, this will draw supplies to that point.

The supply routine makes the assumption that the 'hot' zone is where your HQs will be.

I believe a base with an HQ will attempt to maintain 25k above what's normally required, provided the supply is available to be drawn from other bases.

Hope this helps.

This is correct but one mistake I made was putting an HQ one base from the frontline. What happens then is it becomes a block to the frontline base since it will hold on to all the supplies (up to that 25k+) coming from the ports. Just a note as it can be annoying to see a massive supply dump one base from your main force which is crying out for supply. Move the HQ to the front line and it works great.

The 25000 extra supplies apply only to Command HQ.
