so let us see if i understand the depots/cities make supplies that go direct to military units?(maybe not direct but reserved for)

and again thanks YR for your help and quick response

do cities make supply and if so is it shown on the f4 screen?

Thanks for the fast reply. OK will disregard seems like it would have been nice to have missions in game though.

is there a way to see my progress toward a mission goal-- as US I have max cotton producer--how can I check how i compare to othe nations and decide if I need to build more cotton plantations to stay ahead?
