Supply in the Empire has been declining gradually for the past couple of years but it seems to be accelerating. I haven't lost a significant amount of production so far in the war. I have no shortages of fuel or resources. At the present time naval and merchant production is almost turned off and there's very little in the pipeline. Air production is largely idle as I haven't lost a lot of planes, production on Ki-83s and Sams is maxed out but not much else is going on. Engine factories are at max though I could possibly feather some of that down a tad. Armaments factories have been idle for months but vehicle factories are all on. Combat lately is fairly tepid and I'm not losing a significant amount of supply to bombing. I suppose the size of my forces is the main drag and I have replacements and upgrades turned on for all units. I've turned off base and fortification enlargement almost everywhere. There is no repair going on anywhere of factories, resources, oil or refineries.
One thing I wonder about is all the bleeping training squadrons I've gotten this year, and I have been drawing forward recruits into them. What they're doing is great but I'm not sure I need it. Could that process be drawing a lot of supply and what should I do? Disband all or most of them?
Here's some snapshots from the past year.
