Unable to reinforce a ship in an occupied port

[Nethog]

I noticed that I could resupply my German ship in an occupied Norwegian port, but could not reinforce it - is this a known rule or am I missing something?

Ports with a supply of 5 can only reinforce naval units to a strength of 8. To go higher, you will need a port with a supply of 6 or better. Also, there is a limit on how many strength points you can reinforce a naval unit in one turn, repairing ships takes time. If you can't reinforce to the strength you want, and see an asterisk next to the value on the reinforcement screen, it mean that you have run into one of these restrictions.

Thanks Markiss. I was aware of supply level affecting the ability for a unit to reinforce to max strength, but my ship was at supply 10, but you point out it is port strength for naval units, not unit supply. So now when I re-read the supply section in the manual again, I see that naval unit's supply is set to max (regardless of port strength I assume?) As long as they are in the port hex. By the way, I thought that only HQ units are limited to how many reinforcement points they can recover each turn, but you say it also includes all naval units? What about air and all other types of land units?

[Markiss]

This only applies to ships & HQ's, I believe. I can't think of any other unit limited in such a way, other than garrisons which can't be reinforced past strength 5 without experience.

Thanks again Markiss, I really appreciate your help. I found this entry in the Panzerfaust release notes regarding naval reinforcement: "Maximum reinforcement points is now 5 strength points per turn for all naval units except Motor Torpedo Boats".
