mcaryf1 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I notice in both standard 1.07 and Gold that China is reported to have some oil wells in the status report as is Japan at the start of the 1939 scenario.. I presume this is something to do with convoys or aid but is there any specific way to interpret the information? Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Hi Mike These are off-map resources that come into or out of play depending on various events during the game. Basically they do represent, as you've rightly guessed, foreign aid, most notably over the Hump once Burma is in the game. In addition to flights over the Hump, there are ones representing: Trade With China Via The Hanoi-Kunming Railway Trade With China Via Mandalay And The Burma Road Japanese successes can and will prevent the flow of aid to China, so Japan has a strong incentive to aggression in South East Asia if it is to succeed in conquering China.

Bill101 Would you expand upon your reply. I believe if one calculates China resources plus oil at bottom of map at indusrial level of 60% you get starting MPPs of 141. Does cutting of Nanning stop oil? What about Japan where math also appears to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hi Clausewitz You are right, but there was a bug in the original release, shortly to be fixed in the first patch, that was giving China income from these resources when it shouldn't have been. From the first patch, it should be that these resources will be switched on and off by events and decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clausewitz Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Thank you. Thus China will receive MPPs at level in Global 1.06. What about Japanese oil? Does this production exist for whole campaign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 The Japanese production for almost all of the oil resources will cease as soon as the US imposes an Oil Embargo on Japan. When that happens, not only does Japan lose their income, but the Dutch East Indies also swings towards the Allies, cutting off Japan's source of income from this source too. Henceforth, the only way Japan's economy can recover is through an expansionist war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
