Novice question. I'm confused about depots. I thought you could create them in any rail hex owned by your side (not pending). Is this the rule?





Why not here, then, for example?

Thanks.

Try right clicking on the hex and a menu like this should come up:



This seems to be more reliable than using the thing at the top of the screen for some reason.

Thanks, but no. New Depot not there as an option. It should also be in the top yellow circle, anyway, no need to right-click.

When I start the next turn I CAN build a depot in this hex. But in the turn when I took the picture I couldn't. I could build new depots in rail hexes with towns, but not on simple rail hexes. At the beginning of the turn I could build many new depots on rail hexes, but then at some point that facility ended. Is there a cap on how many new depots you can create? And not caused by lack of AP - as you see in the picture, I have enough AP. Some other cap?

Sometimes I randomly can't make a depot where I want also. Then I try again the next turn and often I can make a depot again in the same place I couldn't the previous turn, so who knows. But I have seen this before. It is not an issue with a cap as far as I know.

You can only make so many a turn, from my experience, that are not on a town or city.

Correct. No more than 2 a turn not on town or city.

Since your question was answered I just want to recommend something to you:

There is no need to build a depot in the hex you have shown. There is nothing to gain from it. The depot on the right can be increased in level and also stacked with a HQ to increase its storage capacity. It should be enough to keep your forces in the area in supply.

Thanks for the answers, and advice. Much appreciated.

I couldn't find anything in the manual about the limit being 2 per turn. Definitely something like that is going on though. Thanks.
