Capture of bases w/ Daily Supply allocation

Post by treespider »

What happens when a base that is receiving a daily supply allocation is captured? Does the opponent then receive those supplies?

Yes, I believe so. I don't think it's supposed to work that way, but I think Japan will get the benefit if they capture one of those bases.

I modded a game and gave some base in the SRA auto supply. I then played the game for a couple of game months until Japan captured that base. I then loaded the game as head to head and looked at it. The base showed that it was getting supply on a daily basis. However, I did not run the game for several days and re-check to actually see if supply increased or not.

We could ask PZB if he's getting the auto supply at Karachi in his game.

I've never seen it happen, but the way it's advertised to work is that the supplies stop. Even if recaptured by the original owner, the supplies are gone.

Maybe it works differently than designed. (NAD versus WAD)

I should RTFM...

14.7 CAPTURING BASE RESOURCES
A base that generates a daily allotment of supplies, fuel, oil and/or resources will not generate
these items if the nationality of the base is not part of the side that controls the base.
Example: Chungking is nationality Chinese and has a daily allotment of supplies. If Chungking is
controlled by the Japanese player, no daily supplies will be generated. If the Allies recapture
Chungking, daily supplies will be generated. Players using the editor should be aware that if a
scenario is created with a base having a nationality that does not belong to the controlling player,
the daily allotments will not arrive unless the base is captured by the other side.

The manual may say that if you recapture the base then the supplies start again, but I remember a moderator posting that they are gone forever. Haven't had the experience, so I don't know first hand.
