Hi every body,

I'm a little confused with the motor pool. It seems to me that the number written is our current number of trucks, and between parenthesis the number needed to get a full dispatching of supplies.

First question, why this need seems to get so higher...for the germans in the first turns...

Second one, what could one do in order to have a better motor pool ?

The need for trucks for resupply duty grows higher the further away your units are from railhead. This is why you see the "need" grow that fast.

There are measures that can be taken to increase your "resupply" pool
- putting unit in static mode, but that is a nono for the axis in 1941
- capture them from the soviets (automatic)
- disbanding units as the elements and vehicles go to pool (it shouldn't come to that really, but there are some HQ units and perhaps air bases to get rid of)
- not losing units (not getting them encircled and attacked) because that means the unit will have to be rebuild, with fresh trucks from the pool
