Actually, I was thinking something different. How about shipping lanes that resupply such as the convoys and trains do? Fleets of cargo ships?

Yeah, I could see that. They would go to the islands, and to bases taken on another "continent", or whatever the hell you wana call it. But to be usefull as something other than a way to get perks and points, you would have to have it so the factories, and supply convoys are directly linked to how much ammo, or fuel, or troops, or whatever a base and a sector recive. If you destroy 90 percent of the troop training facilities, then you can only carry one troop in any vehicle. If you destroy 100 percent of ord factories, then the bases it supplies get no fuel. Convoys will still go, but carry nothing. And if you destroy a convoy, then the base it was going to gets no fuel or whatever the truck was carrying untill one makes it through.

I'm gona post a related topic.

There are shipping lanes that resupply like the convoys do.  They are modeled as barges.  Look around for them at your local port.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to have say a supply vessel with every fleet.

For Pacific war we need Troop transports, Barges, and smaller intercoastal freighters.

Ideally you'd have an hour of night, when transports, barges escorted by destroyers would move between islands. Where they could be ambushed by PT boats.

Daytime they'd lay up on enemy held shorelines where they'd be targets for fighters and bombers.

Yu can also see them sailing over land at the ports. :confused:

I think he means  more like the convoys to England in WW2. Or like the concoys of supply ships that would accompany a fleet attacking an island in the Pacific theater.
