Turn 10 Beginning of Turn

Loki finally gave me the answer on how to get items out of the Reserve which I was only looking at it from one perspective of the TB box itself. If you right click the unit in the TB Box for the Minor Axis allies you only have the option of going to the Soviet Garrison and not back to the map. You can see this on the snapshot below.

BUT what was making me believe that this was broken is that when you click a German aircraft you get the option to go everywhere. But that is just my bad thinking I guess. But you can get them out & I show what Loki showed me in my next post. I was just being stupid & makes sense now :( But no one was helping this stupid person out and made me cry inside.

Hopefully people get a good laugh :) I know I did. I was confusing ground & air in a nutshell :(

My supply line is too long on 1/2 the map. Taking horrid losses.

Soviet inflicted bombing losses. Note the 38 Flamm tanks destroyed plus the 53 pak guns. Not bad for bombing.

Supply in Front of Moscow

I have a dual track line and Single track line to Moscow area. Supply to the Front is not that bad here. Will build out a couple more depots here to save further on trucks this turn. Here is one of the 4 endpoints on the dual track line.

Yes, they have been helping greatly. BUT, wouldn't you know it that I sent the flak back up to higher HQ's to save on supply turn 9 since the Soviets had stopped the bombing for awhile in front of Moscow. Of course the Soviets started the turn after I sent the majority back up to higher HQ's :(

Supply South

I built the supply redundant in the south and pulling in good supply but a bit way behind the power curve here on rail conversion. Using a ton of trucks to keep the forward units supplied and that isn't a good thing. Here is one of the 4 railhead depots set at level 4 and can see the received is pretty nice. Now to get the railhead further east :)

Supply South Rumanian FBD

The Rumanian FBD is slow but it is getting the job done before it disbands in a couple of turns. But by then it will be up to the dual track line and link another level 2 railyard. Here is one of the 4 level 4 depots on this track of supply. Again, my supply isn't bad, it is just that I have advanced to dang far and Soviets retreating constantly.

Supply situation

I am not dissatisfied with the redundancy it is just that I have pushed too far and in certain places where weather and partisans are the rail conversion slows to a snails pace. So the South may be the way to go and I will find out shortly in my next AAR where I am concentrating on the South here https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=5076862

Bombing GS

Did have fighters intercept on Ground support mission. But this air battle reminded me of two dogs meeting each other for the first time. The dogs would just go round and round sniffing each others rear end and accomplish nothing. That looks to be the case here where the Airplanes showed up without any ammo and the Soviets lose 5 to flak. How else would you explain the results in the air??????

Air Support

I have sent too many planes to the Reserves and my Air support has gone on "Holiday" back to Germany :( Now I have to pre-seed the airbases for the follow up turns which will be a multi turn process. So be carefu how much you send to reserves. Just for comparison on turn 1 this number is 2,000. So that tells you how many planes (bombers) are in my reserves. Well at least they aren't getting killed off by partisans ;-)

Soviets Retreat

Soviets do what they do best, retreat once again.

That is where I will leave you for awhile. The turn should be pretty short to do but I need to look up some things in the manual first. Plus I need to finish off my first turn on my other game which I am almost done. Anyway thanks for looking and if you see anything I am doing wrong speak up and tell me. I am always willing to listen.

Again, the situation isn't dire it is just a consolidation of my supply situation this turn and maybe next.

Regarding the rail redundancy, to me it seems like most of the time less freight gets shipped along rail lines than their actual capacity. So having multiple rail lines by itself wouldn't help in that case. However, if you have more railyards connected (as opposed to simply having more rail lines without more railyards), then in theory that should help. So having extra rail line paths in the north may not help too much, because there are not many rail yards there. But in the south, it might help more, if you are connecting more rail yards because of it. The south has more railyards than the north.

Correct. I have almost all the level 2 railyards in the North connected. In the Center I have all the level 2 railyards. In the South I am working on it full steam ahead. That was my "Ad Hoc Musing" and what I have been doing. But I do believe you are correct Sir. Thank you for sharing.

Updates to the game coming soon for any that missed it. Won't help the first 10 turns here but posting here for future readers to understand.
