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).

Replacements

Post by tyronec »

Could anyone explain what these columns mean.

So POOL is what is available to be used.
USED is how much of that pool goes to units.
BACK ? Does this mean they are not actually used and go back to the pool for next turn.
LOST ? Are these the attrition casualties that make up the numbers on the losses screen.

The lark, signing its chirping hymn,
Soars high above the clouds;
Meanwhile, the nightingale intones
With sweet, mellifluous sounds.
Enough of Stalin, Freedom for the Ukraine !

Used is how many men were used up in all the replacement phases that turn.

Lost is damaged units that failed to repair if I remember right and a portion of that manpower is lost.

Back is manpower being return to the pool it looks like it is either immediate or next turn would need the prior turn to make a judgement on that. I believe it is returned from a portion of the damaged and returned/swapped out elements in your combat units.

From my observations, BACK shows in the manpower pool this turn but isn't used in any of this turn's replacement phases and will be available next turn.

There’s a flowchart somewhere.

Damaged elements from combat are either repaired in-unit or go back to the pool to be repaired. Attrition causes mostly disabled but some of this goes to the lost pool as well. You can see how many men are disabled or killed in logistics phase. Back indicates repaired from pool plus the small fraction of convalescing men that return to the active pool.

And like redrum says the BACK pool counts starting the next turn.

Back in short means how many men go back to the pool this turn from whatever cause, they are in the logistics chain, and will be in the "ready" pool next turn. Used is however many men were used from the ready pool.

The pool in the screenshot contains both ready manpower and manpower going back.
