Yet in the game, the industrial output of the Allies is the same from start to finish. This creates an overabundance of supplies in the first part of the game and should be addressed.
The obvious way to solve this issue would be tinkering with Allied production and to damage Allied factories at the start (I think several forum members have had this idea at more or less the same time).
Can't the issue with too much early Allied supply be addressed by drastically reducing native supply generation and industry in the US, and simply using convoys to provide the desired amount of supply with the desired timing?
I think Treespider nailed the US economy model about perfectly. You should check out the discussion of his mod
