In my game with Ted, I used Limas to haul from Fusan and from Hakodate (in addition to half a dozen as AKEs). Why? Because the math worked out well. In my game with Mike, I'm using Adens. Why? Because the perfect math doesn't really matter here and the Limas are more useful as AKEs and AKs.

Just my $0.02.


<takes notes> .... wait, what's an Aden? That's supposed to be MY base! [:D]

Not for long! [;)]

Now THAT feat would put you into the AE Hall of Immortals! [:D]

Well, I just discovered you can set an off map base as a future objective. Just need to figure out how to get the unit there. Tina or Emily maybe? [:'(]

It's a pity that barges can't be produced that way. That would allow a Japanese barge convoy from Aden to take the off-map movement (remember, it doesn't use fuel) to East Coast USA.

I think you need to read the manual about the uses of an AKE.

You can use to transport supply as well ya know.

Sure, you can if you want to but you won't find me using AKE to haul cargo.
AKE have reduced capacity compared to leaving them as an xAK and they don't work as an AKE when they are moving.
If you want to use those ships to move supply and resources leave them as xAK.

The AKE can move any resource out when it is empty and is going to return to a supply depot and reload supplies, in other words ammo.

Its better to just reload the AKE from its current base. Save fuel.

Not if the supplies are not there. Or if the port facilities is so small and no naval support squads to be meaningful. Loading 50 supply units per sequence will not do enough.
