Yes it did. Thanks!Orm wrote: Sun Feb 01, 2026 2:40 pm Two reasons for including oil to Italy.
1) Italy can then use the oil for production if needed, or saved for when saved oil might be needed. For example, we plan for Italy to produce for 10 factories, which yields 8 BPs (7,5 actually), and one of the resources was not available for production so we get under 10 factories then we use an oil instead. The Sardinia resource is often unavailable for Italy. The goal here is to not use oil for production, unless needed.
2) I always try to avoid using German oil for Italian reorganization , as that reduce the effect of oil rounding. If both MPs use their own oil then we get the rounding effect twice. For example: Germany has units costing 2,4 oil to reorganize, and Italy has a cost of 1,4, then it would cost 4 oil if only German oil is used, but 3 oil if both Italian and German oil is used.
Did that answer your question, or should I try to clarify?
With respect to use oil I get around the rounding twice effect you illustrated. I do this, only in my solo game(s), by allowing any fraction of left over oil to be be used by the other cooperating major power. For example, if Germany uses 1.7 oil, I allow Italy to use the remaining 0.3 oil for their own units
As I understand this, this is how RAW but not RAC works. Of course, this implementation requires some editing, made much easier with the beta tester's version that I use.
