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).

Fuel & Motorpool vehicles

Post by Revennant »

So I'm in about 12 turns and have paid very close attention to my HQ's and their distance/mp from the rail heads as well as the 5 hexes to subordinate units and I feel I've done a good job. However, I am seeing panzer units unable to get fuel when the logistical tail is operating withing distances recommended. I have pulled most of 1st Panzer off the line for 2-3 turns just east of Kiev and they just never got fuel... all the units sat at 1-2% and there was no zoc or distance issues.

Does this have to do with the motorpool? I have moved and tweaked my HQ's moving forward and making sure they are supporting their units within 5 hexes.

I'm having issues making links to big images that are legible and uploads are limited to 500k which isn't large enough to read the text. So I will just explain via text.

16th Panzer Div
In Unit
Supplies 2%
Fuel 1%
Ammo 78%
Vehicles 100%

Range to Rail 14
MP to Rail 18
Range to HQ 4
MP to HQ 6

The Parent HQ was 3 hexes closer to the rail head.
