Doctor Zaius -> RE: Rail repair question (1/19/2012 2:31:13 AM)

Thank you both, Klink, Kunz, for your replies. I had indeed forgotten about the Russian rail gauge problem. Oh, those pesky logistical details...It looks like I have v 3.4.0.202, and I'm a little unclear about updates, but I seem to have RR repair units scattered about at the start as opposed to being in Warsaw. I just found an interesting article that talks about the logistics of supply/rail transport in summer 1941. It sounds like they did gauge conversion at 20 km/day/battalion, and going from Brest to Baranovici was done by July 1; rail not reaching Minsk till July 5. Link is at the end of the post. Getting even to Baranovici (those 20-26) hexes in 10 turns sounds like a real challenge to me, but I'm going to play with it. It looks like the RR repair capability varies per RR unit between 22-32%? Ouch! Ah, the simply joys of unrealistically favorable supply and rail lines of the standard rules...it was fun while it lasted. Now the real work begins I guess. I don't anticipate the same crushing victory I got using standard rules. Thanks again for the replies, as I really appreciate it.
