Production

Post by Gratch1111 »

So Uk has oil in Burma. last turn I had a convoy in Bay of Bengal and sent it to Bombay to save. No it says I have no path to any city to save it at, still have an idle convoy in Bay of Bengal. Why is this, just dont get it. Same thing with Oil in Estevan, Canada. Last turn I saved it in Quebec and No it says no path anywhere

Perhaps you have some conflincting default settings? Have you tried to save it in Rangoon? No convoy needed for that.

Production is little broken or difficult, that is my opinion.

First check convoy lines that it is idle, France may ”highjack” CW convoy.

Choose Burma oil and ”where to” and save it to Rangoon (if it’s going to production choose ”save”). Then click ”recalculate” or something like that in bottom left corner. Then again ”where to” and save it India.
If your attack is going really well, it's an ambush.

Nope Fra has convoys moving resources where they should be and have no idle convoys

Nope, no change, Note under no path it says Action, save and Bombay, but it does not appear in controlled saved oil points like the other point being saved

I think I founf the problem with no path, I set up a trade with France for 3 resources, at least 2 oil and I think the no path are those resources, That might be also why Im missing convoys in the med to transport the UK resources. This is messed up and I need to look into this. Is there a good way to control which resources are traded, mostly to have control over the convoys.

Yes, send some other oil, maybe from Canada.

If you send BP to USSR later you may find similar problems if program is sending BP from Canada. Change source to fix the problem.

One trick here to get CW Oil to French control is to Use the Persian Trade Oil.

Save the Persian trade oil to Suez or somewhere in Egypt or Palestine, it can reach there by land through Neutral Iraq.

Next turn, designate that Persian Saved Oil as the resource, or one of, to fullfil oil lending and have the French save it in Syria, no convoys necessary excepting a chain so that the saved oil can be used for Reorgs.

This takes a couple of turns to fall into place and can be disrupted by an aggressive Italy, but it can work quite well too.

It usually is, there is a rolll, I think ssiviour means before Vichy is created or if Syria finally is FF because of that roll.
