supplies that it's going to be a couple of turns before I can push any further toward Leningrad.

I defined a new event that would increase the supply for the Axis to just over 30, I'm hoping. So I'm going to start over and see what
difference that makes.

So I'm hoping I can repair a lot of rail quickly and get those boys some beans bullets and band aids.

going to have to remember to rest some of them so that I can put up a creadable defense. If need be. Just in case, you know.

counterattacks for the entire Soviet turn before I get credit for destroying the industry. At least that's my understanding.

The supply situation for Barbarossa 41 is generally appalling.

The designers set up a complicated supply model that reduced supply the further the Axis advanced into the Soviet Union (and then plugged in all the wrong numbers).

If that was unmodded and you are using New Supply Rules then you are getting a double whammy as regards supply fall off. IIRC they also set the supply radius to 1 for the Axis.

The scenario requires a completely new supply model for both sides.

I wasn't kidding when I called the supply situation in that scenario a joke.

Best wishes,
Steve

Yeah, I'm finding that out. But I've bumped up the supply level and I'm getting almost adequate supply where I need it. I'll post some
pictures to show you. Here's the front lines in turn 7:

supply at all and that's a major problem.

Other than that things seem to be going rather well. I've gotten across the river and I'm rolling up the Soviet lines.

here as well. It makes it funner.

I looked it up in the "3.5 what's new.doc" thingie about it and sure enough it's there. So I'm guessing that's what you'll need.

Soviets before they overwhelm the Axis minors.
