Mission 3 - Hard Times | European Campaign Transport Fever Guide
Last update: 06 December 2016
This scenario is an easy one at first, but it may easily turn into a disaster, if you do not plan on doing certain things beforehand. In theory, railway will help here, but with the exception of the longest routes, rely on trucks here most heavily.
Provide cities with food. This will remain your goal throughout the entire scenario. You will be provided with information on amount of food in three main cities. If you want to obtain the medal, supply cannot drop below 5% during the war. Establish a network of steel production. It is best to transport coal on trains. The second train connection will take steel for export. Then, it will come back to the same location with food that will be later distributed around the cities (the train is to be composed of various types of cars). Also, you can establish a big road route to Malmo.
Build a storage area. For that, you will have to create a composition of stone, building materials and the building site, 25 units. Only then, can you start gathering your supplies. You require 500 units before you can get the medal (Squirrel). A new truck line to the storage. It is best to relieve those that deliver food to cities in peace time.
After the war breaks out, you will still be able to export steel, but your priority will be to care for the cities. If you have amassed enough food, you simply have to adjust connections between the storage and cities and balance them out. If you run out of food, a farm will be unlocked, although its output is low. This should be enough to have supply not drop below 5%. (Medals Fairly Distributed and Hard Times).
