Pocus wrote:There is in fact a kind of movement allowance for wagons. 5 regions can only realistically be reached if the weather is clear and the terrain not too bad. In bad weather and or mountains, you can expect that one push can't go much above 3 regions. I both cases, it can be down to 1-2 regions at most.
In regard to the thread I started about "How to feed a Russian?", I came back to this post while thinking about possible improvements to the E. Prussia supply situation.
It occurs to me that somewhere the movement distance between the Russia & Kurland OMB must be set as a parameter. What if weather & terrain (winter, uncivilized, etc) prevent supply from reaching the map in the three pushes? Does it stay in the OMB? In which case, a major problem for the Russians would be that supply can't be pushed far enough to reach the map, even with a Rus depot on the map edge (I usually build one at Wierzbelow, where the river forks).
If this is correct, rather than artificially increasing the amount of supply produced by Memel or Koenigsberg, perhaps the solution is the tinker with the supply movement allowance and other parameters, to ensure that even in winter supply will actually be pushed onto the map.
(In other words, the problem might be that OMBs haven't been very thoroughly thought out - it most situations, in most of the AGE games, they matter very little, but in this case the "fit" between OMBs and the regular game mechanics is having a dire effect on the game. Not just in supply terms, but also the PRU AI's persistent habit even under 1.03 b5 for sending Dohna to invade Russia, whence he of course never returns)
