how to get support in airfields

Post by MrBlizzard »

Can't get support squads in airbases in Sicily, they're all stuck around 20% like this Gerbini airbase:

It's full of supply, on rail, but support is only 12 of 71 needed;
I can't also get aircraft replacements in sicily

Any clue? [&:]

PS
Support pool (US) is plenty : 8497

You can check supply details as it is part of logistics replacements. Having elements in pool is not sufficient, you need manpower and freights to ship them to the units.

Here it is the supply detail
it received some freight from Catania and Siracusa, maybe it's not enough?

what does it mean -250 relacement [0 freight] ?

I see no supply issues in the report. Probably missing support is provided by the HQ.

Negative means that some men were sent back to the pool.

Elements in the pool are just "shells" (only weapons).
