Is there a way to get the fuel and supplies from the interior USA hex to the West Coast ports? Both are maxed out at 999999 and all that stuff is just sitting there.

Thanks

Just form and load transports, and the game mechanics will automatically pull the needed supplies.[;)]

I managed to get San Francisco down to 500,000 fuel once. I was loading something like 2-3 tankers every day for a year and shipping it to PH and SWPAC. The interior USA was still maxed out. I never made a serious dent in the supplies though.

The simple answer is that you don't need to. the program moves the supplies as necessary to the west Coast ports.

Load up transports TF's at the west coast ports. The supply will then get railed from the interior USA base to the port bases, assuming they require the supply. I once calculated to take out all the supplies generated by the WC would require approximately 400 7000t AK's working non-stop.

You don't actually need to get the supply out though as soon enough all of your WC will have maximum supply/fuel,

I regularly get SF fuel supply down to 100,000. I'll try taking it down to zero and see what happens. Since the beginning of the game, and it is the whole war scenario 15 I believe, I've loaded every available AK and TK and kept them travelling to PH and everywhere else between the US West Coast and Oz. The same with the AKs and TKs at Karachi. Nothing ever sits idle. I'm interested in seeing what happens now with the reserves in the interior of the US.
 
Thanks for the replies!  [:)]

Post a screenie of that one!  Who has the lowest numbers in SF for fuel and supplies?

I've had some 130 000 fuel and some 89 000 supplies in SF once

I regularly have the West Coast ports under 150k fuel/supplies in 1v1 vs. Parker Dave.

I have a mega convoy of 100x 7k AKs that runs from SF to Hawaii (drops wherever there's room).
And several groups of 15x 18k TKs that run from each of the WC ports.
