RE: rail repair
Texts do not contain emotion, the emotion you see in the words is what you attach to it. I thought you were impolite, but you were trying to be sarcastic, and then things went to this. So, let's bury it as it seems both my frustration and the rest of this is based on a misunderstanding of the tone of your post.

Funny after you rant on.. you want to drop it. 3 differnt people thought you were acting like an ass in this thread but all of US were wrong eh?
In the wargamer I even praised you for finally getting a testers job. I just thought you'd have a little more tact after the way testers treated you, me and several other people pre release.
OK your turn to rant[>:][>:][>:]
What do you mean we're out of amunition???
RE: rail repair
So 3 people don't like what I did, out of the dozens who appreciated me answering their questions. That score is good enough for me, you can't please everyone. I want to drop it because it isn't productive, and the OP seemingly intended to be sarcastic, whilst I considered his tone to be threatening and impolite.
I also couldn't care less about whether or not something I do pleases you, as what you think is completely irrelevant to me, whether it be good or bad.

RE: rail repair
I would like to say that ALL of the testers are my heroes [&o][&o][&o]
I have yet to ask a question that has not been answered politely and as quickly as someone can get to it. [&o][&o]
So for that reason I would beg the general public to appreciate their efforts as well and let them get on with answering my questions [:D]

A good night's rest did help a lot, also to clear the headache I had. I try to be as honest as I can be when answering a question, which meant that I expressed frustration yesterday.
I'm glad you got the answer that you wanted blow56, but I stand by my opinion that a sentence like this:
[blockquote]quote:
And if there are any othyer threads on rail repair in this forum, you had better point them out because I can't find them either!
[/blockquote]
is not the best way to get someone to answer your question.
Especially if after that, you say I didn't answer your question, even though I did EXACTLY what you asked for: I linked to the threads where you could find the answers and answered the only question that had not been answered before. When somehow giving you precisely what you ask for is suddenly not enough and you essentially blame that on me (as you're saying I'm not attempting to answer your question), I get frustrated, which is what happened yesterday. That does not seem unreasonable to me, but it might seem unreasonable to you.
Enough of this. You set up on this forum as the official voice of problem-solving, volunteer or not, which makes you part of the corporate structure, with an obligation not to get snappy, frustrated or irritated with customers of the game wanting to know why aspects of it don't work, or how to get them to work.
While I appreciate your state of mind at the time, you have had time to reflect on it and should now have realised that simply throwing out links to the other threads in that pointedly annoyed way did NOT answer my question. Read it. Read them. It answered lots of other questions I had not asked, mind you - so thanks for that.
What I expect when I come on to a forum asking questions is not a lecture in how I am subverting your systems, or a whinge about how p'd off you are about having to deal with folk like me. It's an answer to the question, which was asked politely. My statement, italicised above, was a self-depractory one about now only failing to find the reference in the manual but failing to find the reference in any thread on this forum. It was more a statement on my own ineptitude than any sarcasm.
The fact you found it impolite is unfortunate. The fact you then had to wag your finger at me shows a lack of tact.
However, when all is said, this is a storm in a teacup; life's too short, Comrade P - so if you still feel aggrieved, you are on your own with it.
Jeeeez m8, what the fuck?
I'm with ComradeP on this one, you sounded like a jerk blow whatever, sarcasm or not, and then got all "offended" if you got a piece back. Pfff.
You have nothing to demand, only to hope and to appreciate what you get.
If you fail to see how your posts sounded (arrogant/demanding/demeaning) you have a problem and need help.
Keep up the great work testers, and don't let an idiot like that get you down!

RE: rail repair
Wow,
I just joined this forum after 2 days of playing a game I paid $100.00 for, I am enjoying it alot, so thanks to everyone who had something to do with this !
But I was scanning the forum for information on Rail Repair and stumbled on to this conversation. After reading..... I think i'll just keep the question to myself.
But thanks to all again for what seems like a great game so far !

RE: rail repair
You can always ask a question. If you have a question about rail repair, I'd suggest reading the threads in the general section of the forum first to see if your question is answered there.

Don't be shy, rail repair has confused a lot of people and it is an important part of the game. This stuff above was a storm in a tea-cup on a very busy day when lots of people posted the same question at more or less the same time in different forums.
Ask away.

RE: rail repair
I too bought the game recently. I am extremely green but am picking things up via the manual and these forum posts. The game is a great piece of work. Thanks to all involved.
I will continue to scour the forum for answers.

Well, welcome to the community sth0009!
Certainly don't be shy about asking questions. I have RTFM three times now but I still find new things each day in the various posts.
RE: rail repair
Thank you Pompack-
Yes the thing that excites about this game is; the more i look at it, the more i uncover.
Like pealing an onion.
This is just the kind of game i have been looking for. I used to place the boad game "Panzer Leader" as a teen. I see in this game the challenging detail but without all the manual computation. Thank goodness for computers.

The fun thing about these kind of threads is that there is both useful information, and I get to add a couple arsewipes to my green button list! [:D]

I still haven't found a decent answer to the original question. Of course if our search feature worked it might make these things a little easier.
AAHHHH.

Is it a coincidence that the guy acting hostile has over 9,500 posts and a huge obnoxious image in his tagline? Hey, neat, now I am trolling too.

RE: rail repair
Hello,
the rail repair algorithm works not well for me. I am in 5-45 mud and somehow after some refits of police units, many rail tracks in the middle of the map got destroyed after massive attacks. The whole front become unsuplied. That is ok. But why all the repair units are still 4-5 turns after sitting in the east and not going back and doing something with that? Annoying[:@], because of mud FBD were slow to move. Unfortunately I needed them on the north sector and they couldn reach the places fast. I wonder whether germans were managing rail repair in such way.
Thanks for help and answer.

Don't let ComradeP cyber bully you(he dosen't have to answer questions if he dosent want to), ask away but be methodical in your pursuit of knowledge. If you read thought the rules more than one time, play the game, use what is written in the forum and ask questions without fear of retaliation you will be able to put together the strenghts and weakness' of the game system.
One of most importantt things to do is map out where you want the big push, concentrate the RR units and count the rail hexes and MP's
As for the returning to HQ question, incase there is any doubt it does exactly that because of stacking and other factors, being able to clear the hex must be an option.

Well with out seeing some screen shots its hard to see what your exact problems are.
First off, I am guessing your running the 1941 CG (unless 5-45 means May 1945 and so then I am confused to as where your at or what scenario/campaign your playing) anyway, assuming your playing the 1941 CG as the Germans beginning on turn one you have 4 FBD units (you get 11th Armies later) that you must begin repairing the rail lines with, usually this is your main lines of advance because after turn 1 your Higher HQ will automatically send out RR Construction and Construction units which will attempt to repair rail lines. It takes sometimes more then one turn for them to do so in this auto mode.
Secondly, you need to maintain your garrisons otherwise the Soviet Partisans will being tearing up your rails lines and this is what I am suspecting your problem its.
But with out screen shots I am not sure what your question is or what you mean exactly.

RE: rail repair
Playing 1943 GC. Shortly described - many disabled rails in the middle of the map like pripyat, near Romania and Baltic. East is effectively cut off. I had enough garrison till 4/1945. Then it changed colors from blue. I will send screenshots. Thank you very much for fast answer and that very good tutorial[:)]. I think the problem is that I got high HQs too close to the front.
