need convoy tips

War in Spain 1936-39 is the first in a new wargame series, using a new Land-Sea-Air engine inspired by War in the Pacific - Admiral’s Edition. Gameplay and realism are improved by TRUE AI and a detailed Logistics systems. A hyper detailed OOB reaches down to battalion and company level. A beautiful, hand drawn, 5 nautical mile per hex map massively increases player immersion.

need convoy tips

Post by coach3play4 »

playing as nationalist. I am getting killed by air and naval attacks on my naples convoys. And thus have no fuel. Can you please give me some tips on what you do to get fuel from the off map sources. should i take the islands in the other island? How do you effectively set caps? etc. thanks

What scenario?
Seek peace but keep your gun handy.

Escort your large convoy with the Italian cruisers, they will attract the aircraft. Have your floatplanes on CAP. Move the convoy at Maximum speed on the map with direct and absolute setting. Get some light AA cannons to the port where the convoy will unload.
