Soviet Arms and HI points

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 Arms and HI points

Post by tomeck48 »

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.
