Sending Build Points as trade issue

[BrianJH]

This is weird, CW has sent 3 Build Points to the USSR. Checking the routes during Naval movement shows the three build points all originating from India. Two from Bombay, which only has one factory btw, and the other from Calcutta, where the only other factory in India exists. Seems to suggest that somehow that Build Points are being double counted in Bombay.

Here's another observation.
Noticed something very similar, if not the same thing, happening in the Chapter 14 Training Video. (1hr 19min mark)

Notice the two Build Points being sent from Montreal, which only contains one factory! Although I recognize it's possible that there may have been a saved build point there, in this case.

Is my thinking right in that Build Points are located where the factories are or are Build Point locations handled more abstractly?

The regular rules (2009 FAQ at the least) say they originate at the factories they are produced at. However fractions of build points can't be lent or transported and are thus judged to be both ephemeral and fungible.

FREX by the rules, you cannot lend 3 BPs produced by the two factories in India until your PM is 1.5 or more.

It appears MWIF thinks that India produces 2.5 buildpoints and rounds it up to 3. That's a bug, according to the rules...

I looked for that but in the screenshot in post #1 the PM is only 1. (This game I could open!)
