Keep on Truckin'

Post by Q-Ball »

What is a good benchmark for the Axis to have in the motor pool?

Important, because you can set units to STATIC to free up trucks, but the payback doesn't seem big; most infantry divisions will yield 150 or so trucks. With a pool over 100,000, seems like a drop in the bucket.

I try to not let it go below 75% of required as the GE; As the SU you might have to run at 65% until lend lease really kicks in.

Alright, if the interface says "64K (22K)" it means I have 64 thousand, and in order to be full next turn, I need 22,000 more trucks?  Is that accurate?

Assuming that's right (that's how I understood it), then my actual NEED in the motor pool is 84,000?

the MP is drained when HQs move supply/fuel dumps, right?
How else is it drained (not counting attrition)?

The first number is what's in the pool, the second number is how much is drawn from the pool currently, so you're good to go.

Ah, cool.  I thought the Wehrmacht was driving trucks off cliffs every turn to the tune of 22,000 trucks.
