Q on rail capacity

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).

Q on rail capacity

Post by CapAndGown »

Moving factories now eats into the rail capacity devoted to moving "supplies and resources." Does that mean that less supplies will be delivered to the troops the more factories you move in any given turn? If so, how can I calculate how much rail capacity I need to keep the troops supplied?

It doesn't quite work that way. Non-reserved rail is dedicated all to supply. Of this amount, 75% (or 80% I forget, refer to 12.xx changelog for exact numbers) is also freely given for industry movement, so you double dip. Note that unused non-reserved rail (independent of industry usage) is added to reserved rail for unit movement.

When you say that "unused non-reserved rail . . . is added to reserved rail for unit movement" does that mean the 75k in non-reserved rail I had left over will be added to the unit movement capacity next turn?

no all rail capacity is used in turn, nothing is carried over.

It is use it or lose it.
