Why so much supply in Madras?

Does anyone know what happens when in a given economy i.e. China I lose all coastal and riverine ports? How is surplus oil/res/fuel/supply distributed then? Does it accumulate in the base with the biggest airfield? Does it "bounce" form base to base freely then? Accumulates in national capitals?

We know from observation that Chungking become the supply depot when all ports are gone, so it is either largest airfield or the presence of national HQs that make it draw it all in. Plus the supply usage by all those new recruits of course!

That said, depending how pockets form or not around Changsha, Wenchow and Sian there could be other smaller stockpiles of supply.

Thread resurrection.

Updated scen001.

Anyone knows why Clark Field attracted 87k fuel from Manila in one turn on its own?



Manila now has 22k fuel, down from 111k fuel last turn.

Clark Field has no HI, no ships stationed there, no ships have Clark Field as its home port.

Clark Field has port 2, arfield 8, and unlimited supply/fuel storage
Manila has port 5, airfield 3, and supply/fuel limits in 120-190k range

It seems the tie-breaker is not airfield size , but the combined development level( port+airfield). Clark Field has 10 dev level, Manila has 9 dev level.

OK, next turn the fuel ping-ponged back to Manila. Go figure.

I would guess that the fuel that was at Clark was on its way to the base NW of Clark and to Bataan. Both those bases show TFs, which means fuel demand. Once a turn passed with no fuel demand, the fuel went back to largest port.

[Yaab]

NW of Clark Field are six PT boats in Iba which has 2000 fuel.

The plot thickens.

Another turn and again 82k fuel magically transfers to Clark Field. I will just set fuel to stockpile in Manila next turn.

Had this happen often w/ fuel - it shows up in places where it is not needed, however this game may be one of the most complicated ones, so one can not program all these things to perfection imho.

But it is kind of fun to observe these issues [:)] Have you checked bigger ships have Clark as homebase? Ah you have it checked, then there should not be so much fuel..
