'41 problems as Axis - 7/7/2011 9:23:56 PM

I have done a few small scenarios and then dared to begin the German '41-'45 campaign.
So far I have improved much in destroying red divisions, but I keep having an unhistorically slow railroad repair.

2-3 repair/construction units repair barely a single hex per week.
I get stuck short of Leningrad every time (but destroying most of those 50-60 divisions in the Leningrad area seems to be necessary for a campaign success).

How can I address this problem?

You need to read up on the FBD units and how to use them. You can repair 3-6 hexes down a rail per turn if used properly.

Really wow. Shuffling through the manual..... I thought it could only work on on hex at a time per FBD?

OK I seem to be able to turn several hexes at a time to yellow all at 1 percent. Then what happens?

Will it go and finish off the ones I have indicated by itself?

Next turn it will be repaired 100%. It is described in the manual at page 61, 5.3.1.4

Selecting the RRC will set the damage of the hex to one percent, and this last point of damage will automatically be repaired during the Emergency Rail Repair sub-segment of the player�s next logistics phase
