Auto Convoy?

Post by Hunter2006 »

I just recently upgraded from 1.5 to 1.81 (thats how long it has been since I have played) and I cannot remember how the heck to turn on the Automatic convoy system. I tried clicking on San Fran, but dont see anything there to turn on the auto convoy system. Can somebody help me out here?

Thanks!

Click on the button indicated by the arrow in the screenshot. This takes you to the ship selection screen, where you can see ships eligible for Auto Convoy in SF and Karachi (the Auto Convoy base ports). Remember to turn on the bases you want to receive Auto Convoy supplies as well, which you do in the Base Info screen.

Oh man!  I was playing a modded version of the 43' scenario and no such button exists!  I loaded a stock senario and bingo there it is. 
What map are you using?  Sure looks nice with the Jap battle flags and all.
 
Thanks again.

The map is CobraAus' digitized version of Subchaser's map mod. The battleflags are simply replacement icons, also by Cobra (I seem to remember).

Yeah, I understand that this tool will get your ships plastered, but I like to use it for keeping supplies to some of my more remote bases to keep the garrison units in supply and fuel to rebase aircraft.

Heck, I get my resupply missions creamed all the time because I cannot seem to use the dang 'set home port" button so they dont go racing back through enemy territory on the way home.[:(]
