fleet move and supplies

[playpuppy]

how do you move fleets very far with advanced supply?im reading the rules and it seems that they cant get very far because they can only get supplies from the space there in or an adjacent land region! do you keep transports handy with supplies at all times to travel anywhere and keep a network to your fleets?or is there an easier method. just clarifying rules before i start to play.[:(]

yes, you need to have transports handy, or they need to be next to friendly coasts with supply in them...

If there is (for example) 5 supply available when the (for example) Hvy Fleet sets out, it can move it's max. It doesn't need to "pick up" supply along the way. However, suppose there's only 1 supply. It can move 1 space, and if 4 more are available there, it can keep in moving!
It does help at the start of the turn if there's a transport or two around to 'fuel it up'
