Ok new to this game, have been playing hearts of Iron games for years, The rail repair units that have movement points, I have noticed that if they get to far from there HQs they can move but no longer repair RR hex. My current one assigned to army group south can move but not repair any hexs, It is close to the Hqs unit so i have no clue why , I have checked and can find nothing in the manual???. As the german player can u deploy Bn size units either from the TB or from a Hqs unit, similar to what the soviets do?

Hit 'r' and make sure they are on a rail hex connected to a working rail hex. This is the most common problem that causes what you are seeing happen.

Yep. When you repair rails hex, it becomes orange. And you can continue to repair hexes from an orange one.
Do NOT stop after first repaired hex :)

Also, important to be aware of that those hexes that are repairable are based on being adjacent to other rail hex and *not* rather the rail-line actually connects the two.

(I know it sounds confusing)

What I am getting at is to be very careful when repairing rail to ensure the resulting rail-line is actually connected.

I have missed an odd rail hex or weird bend that I only discovered the following turn and wasted valuable RR mvmt points to go back and repair.

WiTE2 is very unforgiving in that regard.

Thanks worked like a charm, any answer to the second part of the question can the germans deploy smaller size un
its to the map or must they be attached to a larger unit
