How do you increase your supply pool? Can you move unused production point to the supply pool?

Thanks for any help you can give..

During the production phase you need to produce supply units. Each supply unit built will translate into 5 supply points on the map.

thanks joe. iwill see if i can do it. i am not to bright, so i might have to ask you how to do that..

The truck icon represents supply, there are two supply truck icons in the production screen, the one on the right builds 5 supply points, the one to the left uses ALL production capacity to build supply (you will get one of those "are you sure you want to spend all unused production to build supply" type prompts which you must answer "yes" or "no" to in order to proceed.....
best of luck and........................GO SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT!
 
Notes:
GE needs about 0 supply purchased (because they get it for free from axis-friendly neutrals in 1939 and 1940, perhaps 20 in 1941 and 30+ per turn after that
Japan needs:
1939 - 1940 - 15 per turn
1941 - 25 per turn (to get ready to repair the resources in the DEI)
1942 - 1944 - 35 per turn to run your CVs around and maintain the advance
1945 - do you still have production for supply? LOL
 
Russia - Varies widely, it depends how heavily you invest in spies/sigint or give to China
By 1943 you'll ned 35+ per turn
 
China- buy it whenever you can!
 
WA - 1939-1941, enough to keep 1 supply point everywhere you might get attacked (to avoid the"out of supply" combat penalty
plus whatever it takes to prosecute the anti-sub campaign
 
 
Good Luck!

Good detail Chris, but he probably isn't playing with advanced supply on.
