In this report, I see no Allies naval forces nearby. The only ones are inside the port of Southampton.
I am confused. Who is attacking my supply convoy?

Yeah, that is weird:
Naval forces need to be within 4 hexes and enemy air forces within 8 hexes, or less if the air unit range is less, of the port to have a chance to affect supply delivered.
None of that seems to be the case here and yet your supplies are interdicted at Brest....

Yes, I was thinking of planes with extended range but the report clearly states "Allies naval forces". By the way, does the enemy air forces within 8 hexes rule apply whatever is the range of the air units?

Well, if that 8 hex rule is not correctly implemented, it would explain this. There are 3 Allied air units within 10 hexes of Brest. It seems at least one of them interdicted the supplies after all, using their range of 10 (I am assuming at least one of them is a TAC here).

Maybe but the message should be Allies air forces and not Allies naval forces in this case.

The message is wrong in any case. And if the air units in England interdicted Brest, either that is a bug or the manual is wrong. I have spoken[:D]

Ill check

Is it in range of the port, or in range of the supply line that goes to the port?

Well, difficult to answer because, unlike convoy routes, supply routes are not displayed on the map.

Reading this, this must be in range of the port.

range to the port. There are no invisible supply lines or you all would be waiting 5m for a turn to end.
