Capture of Lenningrad - Axis Ports on LL??

[Cavalry Corp]

Well ok I did it... but still learning as is my opponent.

On thing that seems odd is that Axis seem to have ports now on LL, seems not quite right as where is the freight coming from? or am I in a muddle? Or will no freight ever arrive??

Also how does all the population escape when their is no ports??

It’s best to view population evacuation as a sort of necessary abstraction that happens at the point of capture for the sake of getting roughly the right result without having to build a big interactive system to address it. You can imagine that not every single citizen sat in Leningrad while slowly but surely the Germans crossed the Neva, battled north, cut off Osinovets, and completed investment of the city. Some stayed, some left early, some left late, some slipped through weak points in the siege lines or took trips around the bay in small boats, whatever. They didn’t all sit their obligingly, they probably reacted like humans. But programming some sort of phased withdrawal based on proximity and threat, etc etc probably wouldn’t produce much outside the current evac but it would do so with lots of annoying implementatation.

Other than that, shift Leningrad to import and repair the port, make sure your German ports have the right supply level-export mix, and soon it’ll be hauling in precious supplies (unless you get all your transports sunk)

Thanks - actually my comment was mainly about the import to LL ports - how can that happen if they are only in a lake ?

well you can set it to import but I'm not sure anything will happen as the axis side has no shipping there. Maybe this changes if you have taken Leningrad but not sure about that.

Ok then its something for the developers to confirm - only observing

maybe from the Finns?

there is a simple test - look at your production screen, do you have any cargo ships for the Lake Ladoga region?

[Cavalry Corp]

Well ... I could but still learning where everythng is but also the scn has just finished!

Did no know you get cargo ships for designated areas either sorry.

[loki100]

the question was rhetorical [;)] - you shouldn't have any cargo ships on Ladoga as the axis, which is the point. You can set the ports as you wish but it shouldn't make any difference as there is no available shipping (for the axis) in that sea area.

Would not the Axis build some or commandeered some?

Much easier said than done!
