Quite some time ago I read that the Soviet needs a minimum of 280 arms points and 200 HI points. Is that still the conventinal wisdom?

I think the more important thing to realize as the Soviets are what other factories to evacuate outside of arms and HI (i.e. tanks, planes, armored cars, rockets, etc.). You will find that you can normally get away with evacuating just a few points from those factories rather than the whole thing, thus saving you the transport for more HI and ARMS factories.

There is a good guide on the GRIGSBY WITE Library of Resources page if you look at Lessons Learned or Best of Forum Posts, you will find one that talks about evacuation.

Not sure if there were changes to multipliers since then. To be sure you should check the changelog since 1.11.03 for production system changes.


You should be safe with 280/200.
