Soviet Rail Reserve, and it's economic impact

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).

Soviet Rail Reserve, and it's economic impact

Post by Shiversprite »

In my current 1.12.05 run as the Soviets I've stumbled into some problems in regards to the current railway changes. Overall the game states I do have the resources to produce both supply and Armaments, however due to the resources not being moved to the allocated Heavy Industry/Armament centers(due to the railway shortage). My armaments production is reduced by around 10-15%, and my Supply production is cut short by an astonishing 20-30%!

Is there any guide as to how to deal with this properly?

I myself have begun railing industry and Armaments as all from Kalinin to the Caucasus and further back to either towns that produce resources for Heavy Industry, and Armaments to Supply source regions (Chelyablinsk, Magnitogorsk). This has proven to amend some of my production shortages which are primarily caused by the resources and supplies not being railed to their proper Factories.

Since this is my first post I can't attach images, put overall my rail capacity at 60% is hampering production in most factories outside of resource producing/supply sources.
The more difficult the scenario, the more rewarding it is to upset the inevitable assumed outcome.

Thank you for this bit of advice on where to send factories to.
