Depot far, far away from home

[chapoto]

Hi there,
In one of my PBEM, playing the British side in the 40-turn Boulogne like scenario, I have tried a new kinda risky strategy attacking on French soil. I've managed to take Marseille in order to hit France's NM and so make them less combat efficient.
Now here is my problem: I've taken two supply wagon with me and I am now wondering if it is of any use to build a depot so far, far away from home sweet London? I'm not sure where supply for the depot would come from. Other option would be, going back to Gibraltar and raiding from time to time either Marseille or Toulon.
BTW I'm guessing the national morale hit also affects naval combat efficiency?

This thread is without response yet. Just in case it has not been noticed.


The only thing I can say is that there are transport ships too in the game. Somebody with more experience with supply transports by sea? arsan?

Mmm... no idea!
It will have to be a really knowledgeable guy

On AACW the sea supply capacity depends of the number of transport ships you have on the shipping box, but this box does not exist on NCP so...

Chapoto, if you finally try this depot thing, report back if it worked or not and enlighten us!!

The box does exists and transport ships were added in some patch. "It should works"

That is what happens when one has only played continental campaigns on NCP
I didn't know there was any shipping box!
