Supply via sea to Riga?

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.

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).

Supply via sea to Riga?

Post by Novaliz »

I am playing the road to Leningrad scenario and I have captured Riga. Does Riga get supply via the sea? If so I would not have to repair all the rails to Riga and can start repairing rails from Riga, or not?

How Much damage is the port the port is useless if to much damage

Remember the Baltic area rail network is more easy to repair

IIRC Riga only becomes operational once you get the ports of Kuressare (on the island of Saaremaa) and the port of Parnu. However like fritzfarlig said, rail repair in the Baltic is much quicker so your rail will probably reach Riga before the port becomes operational.

In the new patch, rail in ports no longer repairs automatically too, so you would be better served to just move your FBD in converting a track leading to Riga.

Also, IIRC, you cannot start a rail line from a port -- it has to be connected to the rest of the rail net.

In v1.11.03 you can repair up to 7 hexes out from a port
