Build points from US to Free France

[Majorball68]

RAC states that the recipient needs to supply the convoys however as the picture shows I have plenty of unused convoys to Gabon from the US. Am I missing something or do the convoys need to be Free French convoys? The build points coming from the CW are arriving ok from Canada.

There is a limit on how many build points/resources can be shipped into/out of a minor port. There are also limits on how many can be saved in a hex. Perhaps the Commonwealth is tapping out those limits so the ones from the US are then Lost?

Also, is that display showing only US convoys or Allied ones? If the US is neutral the CPs used have to be CW or FF since FF is the recipient.

Thanks for the fast reply. I have not checked the limit on how many can go to a minor port, what is the limit that can be shipped into a minor port?

The CW is shipping 2 and the US is wanting to ship 2. There is 2 saved in the Libreville minor port already from a previous turn that were received from the CW.

The maximum is one per city, per factory and per major port in the major power home country cumulative. For the capital of the major power, that number is doubled.

They are CW Convoys.

I'm guessing this may be the issue. Gabon only has a single Minor port which is doubling as the Free French capital. 2 BP a turn may be the limit. I probably should have picked a better Free French home country.

Yes, that's the limit for Gabon.

Assuming that all the territories that normally go Vichy did go Vichy, you will discover that there are no good places for the French capital. Two is the best you can do.

You can save 4 BP in a city or port, double that if its the capital city. You can only transport 5 resources and/or BPs into plus out of, a minor port each turn.

In a later production step, you can remove those build points from the map and add them to your build point total. You may spend any number saved at your capital. No more than 1 saved build point may be consumed per turn from each other city, useable factory and port.
