Supply in Egypt part (2)

Post by jesperpehrson »

Situation:
CW and Italy are at war. Italy and France are not at war.
French CP in Eastern Med and CW cruiser.
Italian CP and cruiser in Eastern Med.
French CP also in Western Med connecting with the CW supplyline in Cape St. V.
The Suez canal is closed.
Rain in the desert.

Does any of this explain why an CW INF in Port Said is OOS?

The Italian cruiser in the Eastern Mediterranean blocks the usage of the French CP from supplying any CW units as Italy and France are not at war.

You need one of these to get the CW units in supply:
Remove any Italian units from blocking the supply in the sea area(s).
Add a CW unit to carry the supply.
Get France in war with Italy.

Cut from RAC: 2.4.2 Tracing supply
....
SiF option 11: (Limited overseas supply) you can only trace a supply path overseas if each sea area you
trace it through contains a friendly convoy, TRS or AMPH. [Clarification. The convoy, TRS, and AMPH cannot be
from an inactive major power, but they do not necessarily have to be from a country at war with the same countries
with which the units being supplied are at war. However, if there are any enemy blocking units (CV, SCS, or aircraft
with air-to-sea factors) in the sea area which are at war with the units being supplied, then the convoy, TRS, and
AMPH can not be used unless they too are at war with the blocking units
