Frustrated by convoys

[ItBurns]

I've had time of Fury for about a week and have most of the basics down but production point convoy's on both sides are eluding me.

As the German should I try to set up a convoy to Sweden for the iron ore?
Is there a real reason to try for Narvik?
While searching for British convoys in 1941 I surrounded all of Great Britain with U-boats and never found a single convoy. What am I doing wrong?

For all nations: is there a list of places that could supply PP's if you set up convoys?

Convoys can be sent only from currently controlled country to any other friendly country.

Germans receiving PP boost for controlling Narvik, so in longer run this might be worth it.

Are you setting your units in raider mode?

[ItBurns]

Yes, they are in raider mode but spread thin, like one group of subs in an area.

I am playing the Allies in "Fall Gelb" in a PBEM and the German subs are killing my convoys - both supply and PP convoys.

Maybe I am telling you the obvious (sorry in that case) but check out the report windows under "convoys" if you are the victim of convoy losses or "raiders activity" on what your subs and raiding surface ships have achieved. There is always some fluctuations per turn but after some turns you should see some results.
