Captured tanks and guns

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

Captured tanks and guns

Post by Cavalry Corp »

Guys,
Just started the game on turn 3 of campaign - sudden death as axis.

When do the captured guns and tanks show up and when can they start going to units?

At the moment I see captured trucks but cannot see other captured stuff on any equipment screen or am I missing something.

Thanks

You need to select Germany and have production filter off I think

Yes, captured stuff is per country and shows only when you click specific country name on production screen.

FIN/HUN/ROM are able to capture stuff as well, don't know how SLO/ITA handle this.

So captured stuff is only used by the nation that captures it? Sounds OK I guess.

As far as I've been able to tell, captured stock is not used at all until very late in '41, for whatever reason. Fine by me, since captured soviet tanks are worse than useless, but it is a little odd.

Yes, captured equipment is not used before October 1941.

OK at least its clear - what is useful is artillery I would imagine. And mech is mech better than no mech. Maybe I will get the Rumanians some T34 :)
