Hi,

I have the issue that my units in at the heigth of Rostov receive absolutly no supplies at all.

The units are around 40MP from the railhead but in the range of the HQ. All have full vehicles and I even used a cheating tool to raise the number of stocks and vehicles. That all did not change anything.

Also, units sitting well in the railheads in Poland get hardly over 50% of the required supplies.

What I'm doing wrong?

The unit in the attachment is past 30 hexes from rail. What I have understood is that 30 hexes is the absolute limit. Less is much much preferred.

Difficult to determine from information in supply details. Perhaps you are using too much of your rail capacity for strategic movement? The farther east the Germans advance, the greater the greater the impact of the Axis Rail Supply Modifier (20.4.3.1 and 20.4.3.2). Also, your truck supply columns are useless because they have no fuel.

I didnt use any strategic movement. Also, I have added tons of fuel to the pool and it did nothing.

Anyway, thanks for the info about the manual, I've read those points again in detail

But I'm still somehow much too slow with my FDB units, I have absolutely no clue how to get units supplied at Rostov at November 1941

Especially the south is a mess for me

Searry has it right about the 30 hexagons.
Your units in Poland probably is out of range of the HQ? In this case, the supply deliveries are halved.

If you are interested in the Details of the supply system, I recommend following the link in the signature, some documents deal with this topic.

Assuming the pool makes the fuel available immediately at each permanent supply source - Linz, Magdeburg, K�nigsburg - and does not require extra transport time from refineries & synthetic fuel plant locations, it will still require at least one turn, best case, to reach your railhead closest to Rostov. In Nov 41 you are dealing with all the leftover logistical bottle necks caused by mud.

If Rostov is a critical objective in your "master plan" for 1941, you should attach an FBD to HQ AOK11 as early as possible. Assign this FBD to 11th Army HQ, and keep it well supplied.
Maintain an RRV of 16 in the FBD by attaching one or two labor groups/detachments when necessary. There is a technique you can use along with FBD. Lock the HQ and add extra construction support units your Army HQs approaching Rostov from Rumania to maximize/localize automatic rail hex repairs.
