Help with the rules for naval resupply--please!

Post by trcgwc »

The game is 1v1 Watchtower. As the Japanese, I lost control of the port Kokumbora, which is about halfway between Henderson Field and Savo Island. I retook it and have had a battleship sitting there for at least three turns. When I went to resupply from a 9 to 10 strength, I got a note that said I must resupply in a friendly port. Why isn't that a friendly port?!

First, you're trying to repair, not resupply. Naval units are always in supply.
Second, if the enemy is in control of the village/town/city next to the port you can't repair there.

Thanks, Erik. It's nice to know I'm in the right forum. After all, it's the one the Slitherine support game me.
