Rangoon switches between MAIN SUPPLY and PORT SUPPLY

[Darojax]

Right,

so it's Early-mid 1944 and I'm in the middle of the Allied push through Thailand at this stage. Offensive was going well, pushing back the Japanese (a human opponent) steadily. Then one turn I am greeted by a massive list of UNIT HAS BASIC PORT SUPPLY AND RECEIVE NO REINFORCEMENTS. I am checking the problem and it seems Rangoon switched from being a MAIN SUPPLY source to PORT SUPPLY with only 80 supply capacity. The game starts with Rangoon being Port Supply, but it's strange since during most of my offensive Rangoon is a MAIN SUPPLY source, but it just suddenly switches. Which is a major inconvenience as it pretty much stalls the offensive.

Anything I am doing something wrong, is this working as intended somehow?

Thanks.

The game has to decide on whether to use port or main supply. It leans on main supply even though it can be worse. It is the lessor of 2 problems.

I believe I modified the map so this didn't happen.

Which version of the game is this? When did you start it?

Steam or Matrix version?

Also post a screen shot for me of when it is main and/or port supply.

Steam version 1.00.11
Game started 11th August

If there is one pattern it seems that Rangoon switches to PORT SUPPLY whenever it's raining,
but I havent tested this enough to be sure.


Most of the time it looks like this:


Obviously if Rangoon is in Port Supply mode it makes it impossible for the Allies to conduct offensive operations in Indochina. Unless there is some aspect of the game I am missing.

Hmmm...

Rangoon is not connected to India via rail unless there is an event I missed...so it should never be a main supply, at least in my eyes.

Perhaps I missed something.

[AlvaroSousa]

It's due to Thailand. It is within main supply for the Axis

[AlvaroSousa]

Likely it is partisans around 34,55 that are damaging the rail forcing the port to get only port supply.

When the damaged rail hex is cleared it returns to main supply.

[stjeand]

Alvaro he was saying for Allies.

For Allies it should always be port supply. It is not a main supply point for the Allies and should always be port supply.

[Darojax]

I don't know if that is working as intended, but when Rangoon is Port Supply it's no longer possible for the Allies to conduct offensive operations in Indochina, at least not in the game I am playing. All units in Thailand/Indochina go on basic supply.

And so far this seems to happen every time there is rain in Rangoon/Thailand/Indochina only.

[stjeand]

Sorry but in my eyes it should always be port supply.

And yes the Allies should not be able to conduct offensive operations there.
The Axis could not.

In fact...start the game and check Rangoon day 1. Port supply

It should never be a main supply since it is not connected to any main supply rail for any country.

Put a screenshot of the rangoon area? You might have an older version.

Is this steam or matrix?

Chinese capital keeps switching almost every turn as well.

[AlvaroSousa]

It's the right scenario map.

I'm looking at 1941 start and Rangoon is port supply.

This is for the Allies correct? I can't figure out how it is getting in main supply for the Allies. The path doesn't extend that far in clear weather.

The capital moving thing is a bug fix I put in but didn't fully test yet. I missed something. It will be addressed next patch.

[Darojax]

Yes, it is for the allies. And yes, it does certainly become MAIN SUPPLY during clear weather, as the previous attached screenshot can testify.

It should be noted that due to the many rail connected ports the Japanese have in the south they will have no issues conducting offensives in the India direction with many units. However, if Rangoon is Port Supply, at least when this switch happens during rain in my game, there is no possibility for the allies to push beyond a certain limit, making it impossible for them to conduct proper offensives and take Indochina etc. There is just not enough supply coming through from the north, they would be confined to a defensive frontline that could not push very far when the allies gain the upper hand.

[AlvaroSousa]

If you have a save game send it to me.

They Allies can push. I was in a game where they did. It was 1944
