Partisans and rail destruction

[robjoh]

Hi,

GC playing as axis. Beginning of 1942. Blizzard. Though times. No signs of partisans yet (except for the cadres that becomes visible during the Soviet turn). When can I expect the partisans to "pop up" and do some serious damage? And when they do damage my rail do I have to manually repair the rail with my FBD units or will the automated units deal with the repairs?

Thanks.

Hi,
 
Partisans can appear whenever units are shattered and/or if Garrison levels are not met in Soviet Towns/cities. They'll begin as cadres and will grow and then become visible to the Axis where there'll move and disrupt rail lines.
 
As for rail repair - depends - if you have HQ's and RR Bn's in range they'll automatically repair the rail when the partisdans have been 'removed' or you can use FBD's if you really want to.
