supply/resources and oil

[freeboy]

I understand, or not, that these should move between bases? Do I need to do anything to help? I have large stocks at some places that have been captured, on a rail line and would like these moved... how does the computer decide what to move and where?[&:]

This should get you started, you could also check out the manual. Hope this helps.

ok.. not so much help here yet these are great though thanks.. so if I take a Brit held base, on a rail.. say Alor Star in Maley area.. and it happened to have resources, will they ever move without being shipped?
In the old pre release discussions talk was made about these moving to a central point and being picked up there?
Any thoughts are welcome [:D]

I moved the Resources/Oil out of DEI to either Derby or Darwin and the comp "moves" them to needed HI cities...so to answer your question yes you can move them to a central location. The stuff in DEI or Malaysia has to be sent to OZ or Karachi or US.

[daniel123]

the question is does moving oil or resources from NEI to OZ allow OZ to increase the growth in HI or other manufacturing units? or would it be better to take fuel and supplies?

[Mr.Frag]

Oil will produce fuel. Fuel is already Fuel. You need to evalute this one more from a impact to Japan. Taking away fuel means they don't have it when they take the place. Taking away Oil means they don't have it to ship it home. The impact is not as immediate.

[freeboy]

So, resorces in maly that are contiguous(sp?) to hi/ oil in China will not move?
I'm the Jap player and want these to move for the benefit of Chinese industry.. or to make transport easier to home Islands..
So once more .. do they move or do they just sit until I load them on a ship???????????????????????????

[Mr.Frag]

Malaya will not move to China ... too far ... max range of 90 (look at supply rules for how to trace the path)

[freeboy]

Are we talking oil / resources? I thought it was 90.. and then anouther 90 each day?

[Mr.Frag]

90 is the maximum range it will flow. Period.

[freeboy]

ok.. thanks...

[freeboy]

So. when the base has no port.. ie ie burma or China and produces resources or oil.. how do I know where that goes?

[Mr.Frag]

Look at the map of rail links ... pretty easy to figure out the flow.

[jhdeerslayer]

Is there a loss of oil along the way like supplies or 100% oil make it?

[Mr.Frag]

There is some in transit loss along the way ... the farther it goes, the more is lost ... similar to supply. You ship 100% but each hex it has to pass through knocks a bit off the total.

1% per rail is what my mind is recalling ... hence the 90 hex range ... after that, whats the point? [:D]

[jhdeerslayer]

Thank you sir and my goods are going to Sydney. I for one appreciate your feedback and adds a lot for my play. I am ashamed though as only on 12/11 in # 15 and plodding along. An exercise in logistic management but I love it!

[freeboy]

where in the rules?????.. no mention of 90 cited above for the moving of oil and resourses.. nor mention that I could find of spoilage or lose in transit... anyone? Maybe I missed it.. just rereread again this whole section..... auhg[:@]

There are a lot of nitty gritty details that are not really *published*. I am simply digging bits out of the 70,000 pages worth of patch notes to clear up a couple of points that are not clear enough in the manual for some grogs [:D]

If you look at the base -> base supply rules and apply them to everything, you will be safe.

ok.. thanks again.. I seem to have a huge need for all this oil and resources.. and those in Burma are so flippen far... would be nice to send them overland via the magic carpet lol
