ORIGINAL: lancer Hi Abulbulian, Given the information you've provided above it's all O.K Here's the play as it happened. quote:
turn x : moved AGN FSB to Kaunas (was told would take 8 days = 2 turns) turn x+1 : AGN FSB on the move - no fuel turn x+2 : AGN FSB on the move - no fuel turn x+3 : AGN FSB arrived in Kaunas - fuel now coming into Kaunas by train and trucks to 4th PZ Grp HQ turn x+4 : AGN FSB moving fuel from depot - no issues turn x+5 (July 12th) - NO FUEL AT MAIN DEPOT (WHY??) - thus nothing to move -- see my initial post screen shot showing this You've ordered the FSB relocated to Kaunas. It says two days which, as above, happened. Once an FSB relocates and is up and running there is a further period of consolidation which prevents you from moving it again until it is 'fully operational'. This is to stop players from bouncing FSB's around the map willy nilly which wasn't feasible on the day as doing so was a major undertaking. On turn 3 with your FSB up and running, fuel starts flowing. As fuel arrives each turn at the main depot there would be a backlog built up over the two turns it took to relocate your FSB. It's likely that the colour of your FSB and Main depot icons was something other than grey. By turn 5 onwards the backlog has been cleared and everything is back to normal which is seen in the screen shot you've given above. Normal is for your fuel allocation to arrive at your Main depot and flow through your pipeline to your PG HQ. As everything is flowing (eg. from the tap to the end of the garden hose and out the nozzle) both your Main depot and FSB icons show as grey. There's no fuel there as it's gone straight through your pipeline to the HQ. The only time you'd get your main depot or FSB icons showing non-grey colours is when there is a blockage in the pipeline (or a kink in your garden hose). Some, or all, of the fuel can't get through the pipeline and it starts stockpiling up at the relevant base. Relocating your FSB shuts down your pipeline so the fuel backs up at the Main depot. Once your new FSB is functioning and the pipeline 'unkinked' the big gush of fuel coming through might result in a backlog at your FSB as you don't have enough truck capacity to handle the volume (eg. the diameter of your garden hose is to small for the volume of water you're trying to push down it). You can get a better idea of this by looking at your logistical reports. The video 'Logistics 1' in the help tab also gives a good run down on this. Cheers, Cameron Cameron, Thanks but I understand all this about moving the FSB and the hose analogy. However, we're not addressing the elephant in the room. WHY is there no fuel at the main depot for AGN on July 12th? Once again see my original screen shot. How after 3 weeks of Barbarossa could AGN get no fuel? Makes no sense. The Germans had decent reserves for several months. It was the transport which became more of the issue. However, it's not the pipeline in my case, but rather nothing to carry in that pipeline. <SIGH>
