Default Re: Some thoughts, some issues

Just a quick comment on transports. Transport groups are scheduled as reinforcements 1, 2 or 3 at a time (depending on which side and what phase of the war). Once you get a transport group, the next group won't be scheduled until you've used that one, so you won't see all of them displayed on the Reinforcement schedule, just the next two or three. It also means you can't horde them. You'll want to use them pretty soon after they show up.


Alesjes has it right, the bottleneck is really the landing craft and troop transports, which is why the next amphibious group can't be added to the reinforcement list until you've used one of your existing ones (thus freeing up the ships to go back to the home port and start loading the next batch of troops and supplies).

Thanks
