I've been having an issue with transfers to the east front lately, they're showing up with no vehicles. I checked this division when I had transferred it from WE and it had an almost full compliment, now it went down to zero. This is the 4th or 5th mobile division as well as inf that's done this. Bug?

Do you have some saves you can attach showing the turns between when you ordered the transfer and when it arrived? I assume you have a global truck shortage, but would need to see the saves. I just tried a test during the same time frame, but I had lots of vehicles in the pool, so it may not be the same situation as you are facing. You can zip up and attach the saves to your post, or email them to 2by3@2by3games.com.

It's actually a PBEM game that I am playing, how do I provide you a save?

It seems like a bug because I have had about 5 PZ divisions on refit in the national reserve, I checked their vehicles before I transferred and they were at 100% and then they show up on map with zero.

that is WAD - units in the national reserve don't keep their trucks.

bring them to a NSS and give it a turn or two to regain them from the general pool

Roger, do they always turn in their trucks? I have a test game that I advanced through a turn where there were lots of vehicles in the pool and dome of the units in the Axis Reserve gained vehicles. Are the units in the reserve losing vehicles because of a global shortage? Perhaps in situations where the vehicles in the pool are scraping the bottom, the units in the reserve str the last units that gets any and thus don't gain vehicles?

This doesn't always work if there's a persistent truck shortage. If I'm correct, transfers to the map receive priority over other units the turn they arrive, and then it's random after that (refitting helps). I've had two panzer divisions refitting on Berlin for 10 turns (april-june) with a corps hq on supply priority 4, and they only got trucks one turn when they filled up 50%. I think I've figured out how to deal with this, and I plan on posting about it since it's a common issue.
