1/15/21, 1:35 PM - [Allied]: No sure what the rules are here. Assuming it was knocked out, according to the rules would Germany be obliged to send Italy a saved oil?

The answer to your question is that if the Germans say they are sending the Italians an oil, so long as they have any oil on the map that can reach, they have to send an oil.
