It would limit your patrol as well. So not only fuel you have to worry about. Other neat thing would to have a list of served meals so you kind of think "Gee, Ice cream again..."

This could also be an app for iphone in a stand alone basis. Like you insert the date and Local time and the app would simulate all this. When you finish with the app and later you load it again the app would ask what local time and date the current game is then it would simulate how much supplies were consumed. It could also simulate food poisoning, etc...

I think this is a good idea too, but I doubt it is possible in the game. I, like SS, also read that fleetboats had supplies (or could hold supplies) for 75 days, but don't know if they ever made patrols that long. I rather doubt it. It would have to be very wearing on the crew. I'm often playing with the S-class boats, so I would like to know how long they could stay out. Probably no more than 45 days or so.

If the S-class held together that long.

I'm doing a Patrol South of Formosa with the S-18 as well...

This is a bit OT, but I have been playing WitP-AE ( a grand strategy Pacific theater game), and the short range of the S-class is a major limitation of these boats. The S-18 class have an endurance of only 4050 nm! As it turns out, that's not really enough.

At least my base is Manila. Very close!!
