A way to have an effect on construction battalions?

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).

Is there a way to have an effect where the automatic construction battalions are repairing the rails? Because they repair all the rails in the back which is not important and not the rails near the front :/

the way to do it is to assign construction units to RHG HQ's which are close to useless otherwise and put those RHG HQ where you want rails to be repaired. The same can be done with spare rumanian HQ's when you have some available. Note that Rumanian HQ can't host German construction units.

Assigning Finn construction units to HQ's in the vicinity of where you want rail repaired is also a must.

I assign them to the Army that is in that area. Works well.

you could also use the army groups HQs and even OKH but you have to lock their support so the construction bns are not sent back down the chain

so long as the ones attached to them off-map are less than the standard quota they will not go down the chain. In other words you can have many or even all construction in army groups and/or OKH and so long as almost all of them are on map they will not move.
