Books on Eastern Front Logistic?

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).

Since there seems to be an interest in the Stab Bruns (Riga) I will put up a map showing the Brückenschläge 1 juli-21 okt but its to complicated to
make it readable in a size allowed to post here. Instead its put up at the Forum Scenario design and modding. At the file about "Planning map"

FWIW:
From Germany and the 2nd WW, Vol. 6.
Fuel consumption Ostheer Mid Oct 1941- Mid March 1942 667.292 cubic meters or tons, on average 11 trains a day. For this period, ammo consumption was 390.000 tons, pp. 788-790.
Daily fuel consumption Ostheer in Sept. 1942.: 5.000-6.000 cubic meters or tons, p. 946.


I have a question, i can see the book uses cubic metres, but that is not the same as metric tons or Imperial tons. 11 trains is a standard weight of 450 tons, so thats a constant. But converting cubic metres to imperial tons, is a lot less tons than the train tonnage tons. while 11 trains a day is 750,000 tons. Quite a difference. Is it a translation problem and the book means metric tons?
