Invasion Logistics Question

Post by Dereck »

For a regular (Non-Mulberry invasion) temporary port that is capable of 36,000 tons.

In order to keep supplies and units moving onto the invasion zone would I be right in planning on only using roughly HALF the tonnage capacity for both supplies and units?

For example, only bringing in a division of 14,000 tons and leaving the other 22,000 tons for supplies?

Thanks.

There are no unload costs in a Temporary Port.

There are no unload costs in a Temporary Port.

So I could bring in the max tonnage of troops and the port would still bring in supplies?
