Btw, in World at War this is not a problem at all, relocating airplanes cost the double, almost 100 MPP (depends on their tech lvl and logistic research)
That was going to be my solution to moving massive amounts of air units and relocating them all over the map. Increase the cost in the editor. It's a percentage of the units original cost.
But do keep in mind that for Operation August Storm, the supposed logistically challenged Soviets, amassed over a three-month period, 1,577,725 troops, 27,086 artillery pieces, 1,152 rocket launchers, 5,556 tanks and self-propelled guns, 3,721 aircraft. The bulk of the units traveled over 6,000 miles using single track railroad and in complete secrecy.
quote:
For the 9,000- to 12,000-kilometer move, the Soviets used 136,000 rail cars. In June and July of 1945. Twenty-two to thirty trains used the trains-Siberian railroad each day. 4 Units also made extensive use of roads to reach final deployment areas. For example. the Trans-Baikal Front deployed from the main line of the Trans-Siberian railroad to Choibalsan. Mongolia, a distance of some 500 to 600 kilometers, by both rail and road. Extensive redeployment also took place among units already within the Far East and Trans-Baikal region. From May to, June 1945, thirty divisions moved to new locations, a shift involving about one million men.
I don't know how fast Sugar is able to accumulate and shift his attack forces but if it's within a three month time frame then there is historical presidece for such an undertaking.
There is an absolutely amazing paper :HERE on the subject. I guarantee you that you will have no more illusions about the Soviets ability in 1946 to run the table in Europe.
