Hi Frior,
Direct edit of Resupply_Points table. Have a look at some existing air supply and air withdraw points, and make a new one in the same format. The coordinates displayed in the status bar of the MP are the same as those used by the table. So just mouse where you want the new supply point, and use those coords. "r" means Allied control, "g" means Axis control. The Z coord gives the starting altitude for flights planned out of the air supply point.
Cheers,

Hi RivRat,
At the moment there is no feature that allows ground supply points to be captured. This is because it can be confusing about what to do with any reinforcements at the points. Is the supply point an "entry" point to the map, or is it a "storage" point? I guess people think of them in different ways, according to scenario. In my mind they are entry points, so you should not capture any reinforcements associated with the supply point
What you can do for your scenario is simply define a red point and a blue point (2 different points) near the target factory. Whoever captures the factory and builds reinforcements will have them placed at the appropriate red or blue supply point nearby.

OK Thats sounds like an idea. Currently working on the Crimea map, Whole thing nutral. Use gliders to insert wherever you want then go at it. Really quite cool how you can play this enlessly and never get the same starting situation. We need to be able to have factories build ground units and then produce and place them in the City/Factory that is building it. Make for some intrestings senerios and are looking forward to going live with "Axis and Allies" soon!
