Yes, exactly. Oils used for production in isolated cities are not deleted. I'll post a game later so you can go through the steps. Pete

I haven't tried step 1, setting the resource as a trade resource. That's a good idea. Thanks!

Thanks, Paul. The program seems to insist on using oil resources. Then again, I've already established that the ctrl-p screen doesn't accurately display how saved oils are actually allocated for production so perhaps this is a similar phenomenon. Hard to test, though. It's all so tiresome.

<t> I've got a similar problem with allocating resources to Russia via the Arctic Sea. I have all these convoys up there, the weather is good, but the computer insists on threading resources through the Med via Istanbul of all places. This creates all kinds of problems. When I change the route ...

<t> UPDATE: It turns out that the saved oil WAS being used for production. But, the ctrl-P screen was not showing it. I played through and the build screen was correct even though the ctrl P screen still was showing the incorrect BPs. So, that should be changed, of course, but it's not as big a deal ...

<t> I read the latest update about the fixes in production planning. Thanks for that. Can't wait to try them. I didn't read anything about one perplexing issue that has vexed me for many months across many game versions: the habit of the program to cancel the allocation of saved oils to production ...

<r> France was Vichied in the previous turn. At that time (and now) Bordeaux was in the uncontested ZOC of CW land units. Also, at the end of the previous turn, Bordeaux was occupied by a CW FTR, a French oil marker and French BPs. The oil and BPs have become German and the hex is controlled by ...

<t> MEA CULPA! It's taken me two years to get the CW convoys to do my bidding. I bitched about it for a long time and perhaps it could be easier. But, I have to admit to Steve and everyone else that there are tools and techniques in the existing program that can subdue all the convoy gremlins that ...

Touched a nerve there.

Hi John. These guys are all caught up in historical wrangling. Just save the game and run an experiment for yourself. FWIW, I think MWIF allows overruns at +16 after blitz modification.

Yes, indeed. Thanks!

<r> SO39 Allied 2, surprise impulse for CW against Germany. Any idea why the Harrow isn't eligible to strat bomb Dusseldorf, for example? <br/>

Have you played through to the builds phase to see if the points are being credited? I seem to remember something similar happening to me after Moscow fell but the build points were still usable even though they were labeled as going to Moscow. After that, I just stopped trying to fix it.

I'll zip the file and post it soon. Thanks for your help, guys! Pete

<t> Psychic powers are not needed in the screenshot example. When you are at the build phase, as in the screenshot, the <ctrl-P> screen should match. I don't know if it is related to the reset issue, but it could be.<br/>

Resetting (or canceling, if you like) resource and oil allocation ...

<r> If the route were insufficient for some reason, the game wouldn't accept it in the first place. And it often happens when trying to use home country saved oils for production. You assign the saved oils to production, the game accepts this and you think you are golden. Then, you move to the ...

<t> Resetting oil and BP instructions remains a big problem in the game. I thought it had been fixed but I recently had a bad time with it in v2.7.1. Garry (Majorball) helped me work around it but it wasn't easy. There's something in the game programming that orders resets under certain ...
