Brass Drum & Replenishment at sea

Playing Brass Drum and run out of amrams for F18s. The CVN group has the AOE 8 Arctic (fast combat support ship). Have tired the unrep command for this group. Nothing seems to be happening.
Questions:
1. Does Command allow for replenishment at sea of munitions, specifically in this case amrams?
2. What does the Unrep command actually do?
3. If replenishment at sea is possible, how can I get it started and how long would it take to happen?
Many thanks for previous help in formations problem; got that sorted out.

Yes command let u replenish some ships at sea.
The unrep command lets you replenish a ship, the ship being reupped and the supply ship shouldn't be a part of a TF. I think ships need to be tagged in their data base see attachedment
This picture shows how the ship is replenished

Here a shot of the Fort Victoria a RFA replenishment ship.
What you need to is run these ships together, to replenish the CV in this case (HMS QE). It take a fair bit to replenish.
Saying all this if the scenario maker doesn't put the applicable ordnance on the supply ship for the ship you want to resup, its all in vain

One other point on this matter is the progress of the replenishment is shown on the platform's info panel on the right. Say if there is 200 types of munitions to be loaded, you will see the count down there. Its not an instant process. Its easy to setup a test scenario to see it happen.

Just did a quick test on this it appears a platform doesn't to have replenish in its properties to replenish. Just have the right ammo and the unrep marked yes in the ROE and get the two ships close enough and right click on the ship and and click on unrep
