The first thing that comes to my mind however is the neither Milgov or CivGov really don't have any amount of control of large populations. Howling Wilderness shows the surviving numbers of troops in California in say the thousands. If there are still millions of people living here that's not much abiltiy to tell anyone how or what to eat.
One thing I imagined on my own was to borrow from City of Krakow. Local Milgov forces will pay you in a script that equals 1 meal. For instance you show up at an encampment with 6 pints of 10-40w motor oil you found in a collapsed house. In exchange the give you 6 ration scripts which is 2 days of meals. |
Almost everything was rationed in the USA during the War. big stuff was Gas and tires. but eggs butter and sweets were tuff to get I have been told.
A lot of the rationing was to get people to think they were part of the BIG picture and making sacrafices like "the boys over there"
