Is there anything in the Pipeline on trucks?

[Cavalry Corp]

Have been playing the campaign now and are now in January 1943. Generally speaking I like what happens. What I do not like is this truck issue where you can refit a unit but it does not attract anymore trucks. From what I see units that go to national reserve - or say on Belin hex NSS do not seem to attract anymore trucks either. But if you send them to a theatre box especially the Western Front it seems to attract a lot more trucks to the unit.

I have also had the situation where units have 100 or 200 more trucks than they need when units next to them have 500 less than they need. It's just a bit silly.

I think it is fair to say that an HQ needs a button ( using the admin rating of the General I guess) saying truck priority or something like that. Most of my offensives have had to stop because of a lack of availability of trucks. Not men, guns or tanks, but there are usually plenty of trucks around. The MP cost of attack are so high even a slight shortage means Panzer and Mot Divs are sometime useless even in the middle of summer.

I have no problem with there being a shortage of trucks but we should be able to decide which units attract the trucks that are available generally. They are after all choosing the tanks and guns.

I think this is an issue that needs tackling.

Nothing in the pipeline. Having micro control of trucks in units is not going to happen. As for situations where you are seeing trucks not going into units in the reserve, if you've got saves, please email to 2by3@2by3games.com and I'll take a look. Ideally a save at the end of the Soviet turn, and one at the start of the German turn (so I can see before and after). And please point out units that are not getting trucks. It's true that units in the non-reserve TBs are probably getting priority, although we did make some changes in 1.02.25 re Axis non-reserve TB max TOE levels that may improve the situation.
