thanks

There is three possible reasons.

1) Your bases have totally wrong supply draw settings (I think this is most common reason)
2) Your bases have wrong supply draw setting, and your supply level is low.
3) You have ruined your economy and there's no enough supply.

There is no magic tricks to get enough supply to Gifu. You don't need HQ there. Check all you bases. None of them should request more that about 7000 supply, usually 4000 or 5000 is enough for most of the industry bases. Some bases don't need to request supply at all. If some of your bases is asking maximum supply +25k, that's is going to totally screw supply flow. Use only setting +4k...+7k.

I'll add one more to the Puhis ...
4) Using the stockpile supply switch (incorrectly or without understanding what it will do down the supply chain)

Oh, and you're right there is no magic to it

Status: offline 		I'll go through all of my bases in japan, some have draw settings for expanding factories. I read a post that command hq's draw supplies. No doubt in my mind that I've destroyed my economy, but this game is into jan 43, 1 day turns, I'm getting my ass kicked and still havieng a great time. Yep I'm a dead ender, the allies will have to take Tokyo.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the help everyone. The problem was solved in 2 turns. Now to fix my economy.

Problems: Actions
1) Tokyo was drawing to much supply-changed setting
2) Stockpiled supplies at Gifu-worked, supplies shot up to 12k
3) Checked all of the Bases in Japan, reset all supply request to 0 or 3500
4) Received econ101 advice from n0148477, very helpful. I'll sty in touch.
5) Over expansion of the industrial base-shut down what I can't support.

It's not hard at all, but I think in the beginning every player one have some problems. At least I had.
