Convoys coming into CT

[HvMoltke]

Another Newbie Question
How do I get use of those Convoys ( WS.12/OS.13 Sup Cvy and so on)
There is a lot of interesting things loaded on them and I would like to get them to fill up my troops.
Do I have to buy them out or what should I do?
I think there was some hint on Sardaukers AAR but I`m not sure.
Help is needed Yaab, BBfanboy, witpqs.

Hi Alfred
Wow I have the honour to get answer from You, great.
Thanx a lot. I read the manual forward and backward but didn`t catch this.
Thanx again
I`m still on my 6th game babes lite scenario26 and learning.

The other thing about getting those devices is that you must manage your pools if you want them to go to specific units:

- set the device to stockpile in the pool
- go through all your units that use the devices and set them to "Do Not Upgrade" unless they are one of the units you want to get them.

As there may not be enough to go around, you can decide whether to give a unit or two their full complement of the device or let a few more units upgrade and have them have less than a full complement for a while. AA and Anti-tank guns are two device types that I prefer to distribute widely to front line units so they have some kind of defence against aircraft/tanks.

No question survives contact with the forum.

The convoy TFs should stay at CT for a few days, after which they disappear.

Convoy's devices will go to your devices pool and can be used in your units as replacements.

Convoy's fuel and supplies will be unloaded at Cape Town and stay in Cape Town unless you put them on ships and move them elswhere.
