Capture Trucks has to be broken IMO

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

If you have the capacity to keep enemy AFV in fuel you should have the capacity to keep enemy trucks in fuel also.

If you had trouble keeping your own afv in fuel, you would have to keep your own trucks in fuel to fuel them. Captured (sometimes damaged) trucks and afv, using different fuel and with different maintenance headaches would be way down the list of priorities.

Not really.....If I have a pool of captured(both damaged and undamaged enemy equipment)that uses different fuel from my own equipment and I have a large quantity of captured fuel my own equipment cannot use I would utilize that fuel and equipment in a heartbeat. Especially if I had trouble keeping my own rolling due to lack of fuel.

Correct, you only see the number of your generic vehicles captured by the enemy. We don't have any info on number you've captured. Unlike other equipment, captured vehicles are placed immediatly in your motor pool.

Trucks captured and destroyed are listed on the losses screen.  The "L" key.

elmo3,

Currently there is no where to see captured enemy truck totals. The prod screen only shows YOUR trucks that were captured by the enemy.
