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).

Another supply question

Post by M_Bdog »

Hi,
I've been playing this game for years but there's still something I never quite understood. Here's the start of T4. Is it normal that my panzers/motorised divisions are so low on fuel ? They barely moved on T3 and are still low on T4. They are within 5 Hex of their HQ, and the HQ is within 25 Hex of the railhead. Is this normal ? Is there another parameter that I should consider before sending my divisions ahead ?

I'll post a few screenshots... Oh well, screenshot not shown for whatever reason :(

Thanks!!

It's all to do with MP to a rail head. Although the unit and HQ are within supply range the distance in MP by off rail (truck) is large, by this >20MP so they get less. The idea being it cost more fuel to move it. See 20.4.3.1 unofficial manual.

The whole supply thing is complicated but is cover in section 20.4.1 Tracing supply.
