HEELLPPPppp. The RAIL UNITS do nothing

Sorry I was talking about the first image that shows your T10. I think I replied off the wrong image.

I have been following everything you have said (and some other folks) about the use of level 4 depots in the back (although the use for the FZ fall back line is new to me and a very nice tip). However, I think I have misunderstood the importance of level 1 railyards. I thought it was important to put a depot on all level 1 railyards but if I am understanding you correctly, they are only really important near the front where you want to have a larger depot at priority 4 that then takes the freight to the actual front-line units. Further back level 1 depots don't seem to do much as they are not part of the depot-to-depot process (only level2 or higher are). Unless of course the line retreats back to them.

I am finally starting to get it....I think [;)]

ah, had forgotten about that one [;)]

in the end, yes put a depot on every railyard but a couple of short term issues. First some locations in 1941 are too far back by the time they are repaired to be worth it, also a few commander changes can make a huge gap in your admin pts. So I do tend to a more linear layout than the model I adopt once the advance starts to stall.

as to FZ, from testing I now think that lack of supply is far more important in getting forts to 2+ than notional construction values of the units

Excellent point on the issue of out pacing your railyard 1 depots in '41. I have too many depots on teh line from Gomel to Bryansk and too many east and NE of Smolensk. At least for now - T10. I wasted probably 7-8 AP with unnecessary builds.
