Guadal scenario, playing as Japanese

Surface combat TF with 4CA, 4DD at Rabaul, a level 7 port with 359 naval support present.

First day: @22,000 supply, 0 fuel, AO anchored with 8000 fuel on board, tanker with 4700 fuel ready to unload
TF allowed to "refuel at sea" but not at port. ammo values 5%-45%, cannot re-arm

Second day: @23,500 supply, 1471 fuel, AO anchored with 8000 fuel on board, tanker partially unloaded
TF allowed to refuel at port, but no need to since fuel levels now at max and ammo at max


The refuel process is behaving as expected, but why should a port with over 20,000 supply refuse to rearm the TF unless fuel is present in the port?

EDIT: Surface Combat TF was docked at Rabaul

Don't know, post a save and I'll look.

Stupid Question - Was the TF docked?

Not stupid at all. Stupid was the guy that posted just before you and should have asked that question.

I think that in WITP too, TFs couldnt rearm if there was no fuel in port IIRC.

No save available, so I went back a few turns and reproduced (almost) the situatio: I now have a save where both a Surface Combat and an Air Combat are in the port and neither can re-arm.

Where do I send the save?

Might be able to help faster if you post a screen shot!

Note that TF is docked, there are over 20k supplies and it is a level 7 port yet the "replenish from port" button is grayed out


EDIT: Whoops, that didn't work! How do I post a screen print?

No fuel at the base.

I guess I'm not following then. Fuel is TF fuel, only fuel can be used to refuel TFs.

Can you please rephrase your question?

I believe he's wondering why his vessels didn't rearm.

Remember that this problem (if it is a problem instead of WAD, SAIAW) is pretty far down the list since it isn't interferring with gameplay. Get some sleep and look at it after the priority one stuff is done [&o]

A quick eyes-over on the code looks like the TF should rearm even if there is no fuel. But there are some capacity checks that get complex and might kick out. Sure could use a save - they don't misread the code.
