Bases in low supply?

[Josh]

Playing as Australia. The U.K moved 12 divisions of troops to Papua New Guinea which I own, then I got this notification.

What can I do to improve supply? Can I even tell the U.K forces to leave?

Is building infrastrcuture (roads) the only way?

[I'm sorry for being horny]

sometimes it's not about building infrastructure, there might be a road or ports that needs to be repaired so the supply kinda stuck in one state

If you switch to the Infrastructure View, and mouse-over the region with low supply, it will show you with arrows the path that the supplies take along with where the bottleneck is.

Typically you improve supply by improving infrastructure and naval ports. I don't play as minor nations, but it may be better to ignore this and use your limited resources elsewhere?

Low supply is not always caused at the exact area stating it has low supply. As Ryan stated above, mouse-over the low supply region and it should tell you where the low supply/bottleneck is occuring.
The only ways to fix bottlenecks are:

1) upgrade infrastructure of bottleneck area
2) Research, and implement, units that will lower supplly usage (Logistics support for example)
3) And I think (could be wrong) there are some other things you can research that lower your supply needs/usage.

Alot of players make the mistake of building up infrastructure on their 'expected' front lines, but they forget the supply line running from Capital area out to the front lines needs upgrading also. :)

may I ask on what level of infrastrusture/port that can be considered as enough so that the supply can flow properly?

There's a number read as a fraction. It might be 20/54 (which is fine) or it might be 120/68( which is bad).

Your divisions use up supply, so a tank division might use up 2.4 while infantry use up far less. The AI is dumb and only moves units according to his units in supply. So he often starves you and causes big problems.

Generally speaking 4-5 is plenty for small numbers of troops.

Upgrading the infrastructure makes building factories cheaper btw.... think that was a change for Oak.
