Your army is too big for the industry you have. You may start to disband some units.

I took a look at our current game just for sake of comparison, Scott. Your army is consuming almost double the supply that mine does. WTF? It surely isn't twice as big.

Also, and this is odd, you produce virtually the same amount of supply. I have 193 HI versus your 189, but you should be getting a 130% multiplier since it is 1942.

I'm a ruthless disbander, btw. I throw away all the fat, excess HQs, airbases, useless SUs, etc. I bet I could find a lot of fat in that Red Army of yours to cut.

How can you tell this from the reports?

Status: offline 		Without a doubt you guys!  I didnt disband anything, didn't rail any HI out and have been building tons of forts... way more than I should.  What I think is really cool is that the system reflects that going overboard will cause you problems at some point in the long run.

I was loading the game in the debugger. But it is probably possible to provide this number in Event Log as well.

Status: offline 		The multiplier is in effect in Scott's game, it's applied to the number of factories at each site and the result is rounded down.

During 1942 with 1.3 as multiplier, size 4 and above will increase by one, except for Leningrad (lost) and Moscow that increase by two.

88500/500 equals 177, so Scott is missing 5000 supply produced due to lack of resources.

The 84 U-2VS will cost ~350 supply/turn, so not much savings to be had from them.

Status: offline 		Doesn't the top screen show that three of the 189 HI did not get any resources? Perhaps only enough resources for 186 HI are in control. Another test is to put a fort and a division in Chelyabinsk, and another fort+division 5 hexes from a rail line much further west and watch the work...

Status: offline 		Is the below correct?


1. 88,500 Tons of supplies were produced; and 47,435 were consumed in all production (vehicle, air, ground and armament), so there is a surfeit at least for production.

2. And the excess of supplies get stockpiled? 88,500 - 47,435 = 41,065.

3. However, Pavel notes that your army is comsuming ~ 47,000 K in supplies --> I guess that this is the number we need to see in the event log to better understand logistics; thus the delta between what is left over after consumption for production and supplies needed for for the troops is 47,000 - 41,000 = 6,000/turn

4. In this case the supply needed is 214,000 - supply on hand 197,000 = 17,000 deficit can be accumulated quickly.

But if production needs are 47,435, and needs for the troops is 47,000, where does the number of 214,391 (needed) come from??

Did all the pundits who claimed that HIs were useless in the game forgotten that units on the map consume supplies?

I am confused, thanks for your help,

Marquo

The need you see on the brackets is generated by the industry needs + port and population needs. Port locks are removed prior the unit supply section, but population don't.

I'd like to see an answer to this one myself...from a non-pundit. Is there or isnt there a reason for Soviet Players to evacuate HI in 1941 & 42?

I have never run into these supply issues, myself.

Status: offline 		Hmm looks like it does matter if you dont understand game mechanics.

I have a game where this issue appears on my end to be effecting the person I am fighting, but I need to play another 40 turns heheh.

Might be a good idea for newbies to evac 1 HVy per 4 armaments.

Just my 2 cents.

So the game engine calculates the needs of population?? Food, heating oil, fuel for private vehciles ?? What does this mean?
