Allied "Industry"

[Dereck]

I've noticed some bases have a significant amount or resources (Port Hedlund, Australia; Hobart, Tasmania; Colombo, Ceylon, etc).

As the Allied player would it benefit me to transport them from where they are and if so what would be the type of location I'd want to transport them to?

Thanks

Yes, you might want to transport them. But only if you want to maximize your supply production.

Ship resources from Tasmania to mainland Australia.

Oahu needs more resources and Hawaii can only provide so much which is not enough. Have ships returning from the Southern Pacific carry supplies to Oahu. It is not worth hauling resources from CONUS or Big Canada Land to Oahu.

Juneau and the rest of Alaska also produces excess resources.

If you have tracker working and know how to use it, then you can see where you have insufficient resources. Some resources and oil/fuel you will want to transport just to keep the Japanese from capturing those stockpiles. Early in the game, you can move resources and most importantly, fuel and oil to Australia where it is needed.

I have a small resource convoy that runs between Hilo, Hawaii and Oahu to help keep Oahu's heavy industry fed. Hilo produces 20 resource points a day which the Big Island doesn't use so they do accumulate with time.

Yes if you need them; as to where, same answer. This applies to both sides. Use smaller xAKL to suttle stuff short distance.

What you don't really need to do as the Allies is move resources to prevent their capture, I've found Japan gets more than enough. ThIs does not apply to oil or fuel.

There was at least one game where a Japanese player pointed out that he was running out of Resources. The Allied player targeted the Resource production in a strategic bombing campaign. I do believe that the Allied player attacked and captured the Kurile Islands thus putting the large Resource generating locations on Hokkaido within range of his strategic bombers. A wise Japanese player would try to bring as many Resources back to his production areas as is possible just in case the Allies target the Japanese Resource production.

Remember that resources surpluses at bases are not always real surpluses. If a given base has some LI, it will earmark resources suprlus for LI operations next turn. Thus, in many instances you can load VERY LITTLE resources each turn in such bases onto ships.

Port Hedland and Hobart are good to haul resources from.
Colombo - never tried that.

If you want to load a HUGE number of free resources per turn, try Sale (south Australia) and Tacoma (northern CONUSA).

EDIT: As far as I remember, in scen001, Sumatra has a 3000 resources daily surplus. However, those resources cannot be picked directly by ships in surplus bases. You have to suck resources out from Palembang, which being the biggest base on Sumatra, slowly accrues this surplus from surrounding bases.

There's alway an exception and I always do if I can but not where ship losses except any benefit like Nauru in by current game. AI keep using HB at low altitude to attack any TF I send and being a small port load times are long. I have other safer locations.

That is true. One should not needlessly put ships into danger. But that also showed you where you could make a CAP trap.

But for Nauru and Ocean, I would divert cargo ships that brought supplies into the Solomons, Gilberts, and Marshall Islands there to load Resources. I didn't make special convoys to retrieve them. They would unload at Truk for loading on ships that brought supplies and/or units from the Home Islands to Truk so they would not go back empty.

I'm confused by what I read in the manual.

I know Base Supplies Required is in days but are the resources (resources, oil, etc) also in days? There was something in my paper manual where it mentioned by month which has me confused and looking for clarification.

Thanks

No, the resources are the total amount.

My bad. I should have mentioned I was wondering about the green squares at the bottom of the screen where it says how many of a resource it being produced. Is that by day or month?

It should be daily production. One resource industry produces more than one resource unit.

[Chris21wen]

It the number of resource centres at that base not what is produced in terms of resource points. This is 20x that figure. Section 13.3.1.1 Resources and Resource Centers covers it.

Will supply/fuel in the Canada and Eastern USA base flow to the west coast or do they have to be moved via cargo/tanker ships?

Thanks

RTFM.

I am asking because in Tracker they are both listed as OFF-MAP. I want to find out if they are listed as OFF-MAP because
either 1) for some reason they don't transfer fuel/supply even though land units move to them or 2) they were listed as
OFF-MAP because of task force OFF-MAP movement.

If it is #2 then I will feel free to change their regions from OFF-MAP to Canada and Continental US.

[Skyros]

They have rail connections so they will move.

[Dereck]

They have rail connections so they will move.

Thank you.

[Dereck]

Another probably dumb question but I want to just confirm my suspicions before I act.

Along the US / Canadian border resources, supplies and fuel will travel back and forth regardless of the border, correct?

I'm trying to confirm this to determine if, in Tracker, I should combine Canada and the Continental US into one region.

Thanks

[Chris21wen]

Resources, Oil, Fuel, Supplies and Manpower are all global and pay no heed to borders.

I have my own region set for both 26b and 27. It's based on primarily on nations then rail connections so N.America is split into four Aluetian Is, Alaska, Canada and Continental USA. China is also split into four this time being N, S, W and central, This is down to rail links or lack of them.

I've zipped and attached the one used in 26b but you can create you own, it's simple but can tak sime time. The thing to remember is different versions/modes can have different bases so you need more than one region set.
