Siege of Leningrad - 5/3/2015 10:29:50 PM

Hi all,

Finally have a game such that I'm soviet and the axis is besieging Lgrad. All the Ladoga ports are gone, except the last (Northernmost) one, Orsinovets is intact. So not isolated yet. .08.03beta

Can't get the sov transports to fly, the ones that look like a C-47. Li, something, I think. Have flown many, many air resupply missions as axis player. So I know the basics for sure. Have an army hq with adjacent ab just north of Lgrad.

So, what gives, Sillyflower, oh Sillyflower, I'm calling you. Not particular, anybody will do. But I get such a thrill when sillyflower answers, must be something "deep".

thx

same circumstances for several turns, then at turn 21 Lgrad units have become isolated.

Sviritsa remains in sov hands. Weather, mud, as several turns before.

?????

I guess Sviritsa is not connected to the rail network and therefore Leningrad is more than 100MP from closest railhead, ergo isolated

no port damage, Sviritsa or Orsinovets. No ice, weather mud, as several turns before.

Port damage means no supplies delivered but the the supply trace line still intact so not isolated, no?

no change in MP to railhead, mud t 21, as before.

can provide 6 weeks of saves, HvH game, with password

Thanks, but it will take some hours to process this, at the moment I can't debug this.

No, not everything as several turns before. Panzers took hex 92,14 during snow turn. This means your supply to Sviritsa has to travel via ZOC. In snow weather the MP cost didn't go above 100 (Osinovets was at 76 MP), but mud combined with ZOC is too much (Osinovets is at 101 MP). All is working as it should, your supply corridor is too narrow, under fire of German and Finnish guns.

By the way, if you keep your Leningrad airbase in light urban terrain, you will not be able to use it for air drops. Move them somewhere else.

And all I had to do was to hover the mouse over any of the Lgrad area hexes, the pop-up shows the supply mp cost. I'm a dope. I will get good at this game or die trying, whichever comes first :)!!

Finns and Krauts are promising to stop shelling my supply lines, if only I will stop with the dopey posting, very tempting but i don't believe them.

I have been doing the axis Leningrad scenario. I have yet to get air resupply to work. What are the requirements for conducting air resupply?

Hi,

Airbase with transports must be 5 or less mps from railhead.

Hover mouse over airbase to see mps. (hex pop up)

I believe it also has to be done at the start of the axis turn before any other air missions.
