I have in one hex three TF's.

TF 1 contains AO ships
TF 2 contains AE ships
TF3 is a bombing TF which is currently out of Ammo ( 65% ) and is low on fuel.

thats what replinshment at Sea is for [|8] but the 3 TF sits there since 2 turns and THESE FREAKS dont replinsh at all ! what ar4e they doing there, smoking joints ?

what is wrong there and how to fix it ?

Well I assume since you built a replenish TF that you must have your AO's loaded with fuel. Assuming that's the case, and all 3 TF's occupy the same hex, do you hit "Replenish at sea" button on the screen for your bombing TF? They won't replenish automatically. Least they didnt in UV. I haven't been in such a situation yet in WiTP. You need to toggle the replenish at sea button on your combat task force and you should be okay.

thank you for your help ! Unfortunatly, all you said is true and the buttons are proberly set and the ships AO & AE are filled up with stuff (fuel & supplies, respectively ). MAybe the reason is that I have 2 replinish TF's and the Bomb TF cannot decide where to replinish...

PS : I checkes Op points...all 0, so it must work but it doesnt.

Oliver,

What year is it in the scenario you are playing? The manual states on page 187 that before 1945 an AE only replenish at a base with a port value of at least 1. After 1945 an AE can replenish small caliber ammo at sea.

BANG! Hole in one ! Aug'44 I am...

LOL, methinks I am a case of RTFM [:D]

Thank you ! [:)]

but at least they should refuel [8|]

I had a case where I had 6 Air combat TFs in one hex, all needing refueling, and on AO replenishment TF. Only one of the 6 TFs would refuel even if I hit the refuel at sea button. I had five of the TFs following the one TF, only that one would refuel. When I set the others with destination in the same hex, then they refueled, but not immedieately.

So can someone tell me, what are the rules when there are multiple TFs in a hex all needing refueling from a single replenishment TF? Do they refuel in some kind of order? Is there a limit to how much refueling can happen in one hex per turn (day)?

It may be a bug the Tfs in a hex with "follow" orders cannot refuel.

Check how many operationpoints the AOs have left (Ops in the TF window). If they use all of them (1000) refueling one TF, you will have to wait to the next day.

Guys, you cannot expect one AO TF to refuel a large number of combat TFs. The main issue is of course operation points. It is better to have one dedicated AO TF per Combat TF. Remember it takes TIME to do an "underway replenishment", nothing like you pulling your car into a gas station.[;)]

GUH! I gotta get me a signiture banner... LOL! That or figure out how to make one... [8D]

OK, thanks for the info, will check ops points. Any idea if the "follow TF" setting is a bug?
