Hi. I just purchased a digital download of this superb game and I have a few questions about infrastructure.
Do railroads, roads and harbours affect the supply of industry, or do they just increase land movement and act as refuel station?

Supply sources are bases (including airstrips and piers) and cities. Supply strength is based on size and this strength spreads out, weakening for each hex away from the source. Roads and rails decrease the "loss" incurred for each hex crossed making a supply source reach farther. Industry output is affected by supply levels so building a road to an industry allows more supply to reach it causing output to go up.
