Soviet fuel usage

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).

Soviet fuel usage

Post by vernvonspud2 »

Hello,

I am new and trying to figure out Soviet Army 2.0

Seems there is no way to make a logical assessment of fuel use turn to turn. I look at the corps and
they have a number but then the attachments have a separate number not reflected in the corps needs.

Has anyone researched this topic in detail? I can get a handle on armaments, Heavy Industry and resources but fuel is a mystery to me.

Thank you

What direction are you coming at this from? From a strategic/industrial perspective the Soviets (and indeed in the game the Axis) are never short on fuel as a resource - the issue is getting it down to units. The bottleneck will end up being at a combination of your available/required truck ratio and distance from the railhead as you (hopefully) start making swifter progress in 44/45.

As Sammy said, you can consider the fuel as unlimited. Only distribution can be some problem.
