They have to be on a working rail hex and available for transfer. Do exactly what you would do to change the HQ of the unit and you will see Soviet Garrison as an option.

Thank you very much for the explanation. Most appreciated [:)]

T24 Soviet Attacks:

The Soviet attacks did force a 16th Army regiment to retreat a hex. But the other attacks did nothing against the German troops near Leningrad.

T24 Soviet Disaster:

This combat near Osinovets shows that occasionally the Soviet wave attacks are disasters.

T24 Supply Net North:

16th Army is improving but still bad. But two FBDs are working on it and it is improving. 16th Army is in the Valdai Hills and there is just no good roads or rails through the area for supply.

T24 Supply Net South:

Kursk and Kharkov have made a big difference in the supply situation already. Now some work on 11th Army's supply situation in the Dnepr River bend and things should improve for them.

T24 Air Phase:

Nothing flying this turn except in the far south as weather is bad everywhere else. Luftflotte 2 has left for their Italian holidays.

T24 Freight:

The PGs are all in great shape. The infantry armies are suffering some though with the usual suspects of the 16th and 11th Armies the worse.

T24 AGN:

I have been unable to move the Soviets any further in the Leningrad pocket. But freshly refitted and rested formations of the 18th Army and a panzer division are moving up to help.

[carlkay58]

T24 AGC:

Two infantry corps from 9th Army are moving over to help relieve parts of the 2nd PG and dig in. Everywhere else its just blasting holes in the frozen ground to build defensive positions against the expected Soviet offensive. The Soviets just activated another 500K men so their units should be able to build up to full strength.

T24 AGS:

The Rumanian General Ion Antonescu is confident and proud of his soldiers after their capture of the impregnable fortress ports of Odessa and Sevastopol. Rumanians have sent a corps across the Kerch Straits after finding no enemy soldiers guarding the other side. A panzer corps is being rushed to the area to help explore how far the penetration may be able to go. They will continue to rely on ports for their supplies. The 1st PG also is clearing more area around Kursk and Kharkov for buffer space against a Soviet offensive.

T24 Soviet Garrison:

The garrison is now at 155% due to refitting the units assigned to it. We like to think that this is good news for our supply net.

T25 Soviet Attacks:

The Soviet Winter Offensive is on. 54 attacks giving 21 Retreats and 33 Holds. I have one regiment in 16th Army that is now DEPLETED. The attacks were all across the front with some concentrations in the Moscow, Kursk, and Kharkov areas.

[carlkay58]

T25 Supply Net North:

19th and 9th Armies could use help. That is where two FBDs are trying to do so.

[carlkay58]

T25 Supply Net South:

11th Army needs some help. 17th Army is being supplied well but it could use more than just Kharkov doing it.

[carlkay58]

T25 Air Phase:

Everything is still turned off and probably will be through the winter months. I am considering sending much of the LW to the Reserves which would also lighten my logistics load.

[carlkay58]

T25 Freight:

16th Army is actually beginning to recover some. 11th Army is now the most critical. 9th Army actually got more than needed!

[carlkay58]

T25 AGN:

One more hex captured in the Leningrad pocket. One more and the 4th PG will be linked to the Finns and isolate Leningrad. 16th Army adjusts some of its line to have a better chance for supply.

[carlkay58]

T25 AGC:

von Bock was dismissed for his failure to capture Moscow. Mostly static front as I rotate some units out. The 9th Army sent a corps to help 2nd PG keep the line firm.
