Hello guys
I have some bases with a lot of supply and no units
What should I do to move this supply out of these bases and move it to the bases where I have units ?
Thanks a lot

Open up the base screen and increase the demand for the supplies. The pink area in the picture is where to do this on the base screen. The far right clicker is to increase the supply request by 10,000 units, the one to the left of that is to left click for 1,000 units while right clicking will request 5,000 units. Of course, the logistical units will also automatically ship supplies to where they are needed if you have enough of the supply units to do the job. It might take a few turns at the beginning of the game to work this out.

Anything else i could do to get supplies and above all fuel in La Puebla base (hex 155,99) in Mallorca Island?
It is not like I understand at all the numbers of logistics, I may understand the mechanic, but not at all what the numbers show.

First of all the pop up screen for logistics in all my units are like the one in the screenshot.


Here is the base that first conquered and where I have been shipping supplies and fuel ( it has >100k coal that it is produced there). It is 2 hexes away from La puebla.


Here is the second base I conquered in Mallorca, it has port too ( bigger than Pollensa) so I am bringing the fuel here. While the supplies come with small tonnage ships to Pollensa so they can bring coal back to Barcelona. It is varely getting supplies, maybe it is getting coal that could be spend by ships arriving with troops, not sure, but it has 100k coal one hex away.

I conquered La Puebla base on 15-08-36 and since then Carlos Marx Columna de Milicia has orders to go Lloseta, 4 days later the unit is stuck in movement mode I guess cause it has no fuel.
I don’t understand the numbers for logistic pop ups for base and unit, they don’t match, but it could be cause there are more units present.
La Puebla base has more than 4k fuel 1 hex away and another more than 4k fuel 2 hexes away, it is true that not since 4 turn ago cause I am bringing like 1k fuel per turn to the islands. But still I don’t know what else I can do for Carlos Marx Columna de Milicia get fuel… they only need 2 units dammit!

Thanks a lot for the answer
So if I place logistic units in the bases with supply, fuel and others and I do nothing else, these units will send automatically the supply and the rest to the bases where I need them ?
It's that right ?
The understanding I had so far, is that the logistics units distribute supply to the units in the same hex and adjacents hexes and nothing else
Thanks again

What I like to do whenever possible is to exchange the trucks for horse wagon devices. Then there is a smaller need for fuel it there is any need at all.

That's good advice.

Just be careful, a regular horse wagon has a much smaller capacity than a truck.
It has a capacity of 1.2 tons, half the capacity of the very common 3t or later 2.5t.

Try to replace larger trucks with a heavy horse wagon.
It has a capacity of 3t. But it is produced in much smaller numbers.

That is true. But if a player has surplus horse wagons of any size in RSV units, they can be turned into a Logistical Unit. The trucks can also be turned into a Logistical Unit and if they are kept at a port they are more likely to have fuel. That is, if you play that way.
