Anyone have any tips on dealing with this? I have a war going on in the Amazon and I am facing severe supply issues and that in turn is making it so my forces can take up to a month to move from state to state.

What I did was use Marines (actually my marine divisions are 80% marines, 20% mountain troops). My main army would advance from the north and fall into the exact problems you described. This can be solved by building up your infrastructure beforehand but once you reach their territory it is hard (remember your supply problems could actually stretch back to the US, mine was mainly caused by a poor supply issue in Texas).

However, my army was pretty much only a diversion, the troop threat came from marine invasions further south. My Marine/Mountain divisions kick serious ass in pretty much all kinds of terrain and essentially cut of the Brazillian army by capturing the provinces south of the Amazon which saved my slow northern army from having to do river battles.

Also then did invasions on their capital and it was GG.

Tbh in these scenarios I use Marines as much as possible to open up new beachheads but also because they tend to do much better on bad terrain (Mountains, jungles etc) than regular troops. I also control my marines manually.

Wow, thanks for the well done reply I appreciate it. I ended up starting the plan up for a naval invasion from Panama into Peru.

I think that is a good idea. My 50 divisions struggled massivly in Peru due to the mountains and it was only a marine invasion on their capital that allow the war to conclude

Supply problems is infrastructure! The default key is T and it is the orange rail road track icon. As you can imagine there are not many roads, highways, or trains in the amazons. As Mexico, I want to invade and conquer the United States... but I need resources and experience. So I went to south America. My first three attempts got me bogged down until I learned about infrastructure.

I am going to guess you will have allot of 1s and 2s in your area. As soon as you capture an area (even when you are still invading) build infrastrcutures! Do not neglect your civilian factories. If you build enough of them (if you build 9 civilian factories) the first 8 are used to build something the next oneis for a different queue.... hte picture shows me starting to build military factories but look how many things i can build at a time now.
