supply/resources and oil

[Banquet]

I must say that out of 220 pages of manual, only dedicating 19 pages to production and logistics seems a little unbalanced. Especially taking into account the section on Logistics reads, as part of it's header;

'managing logistics is the key to victory in War in the Pacific = The Struggle Against Japan, 1941-1945'

If it wasn't for Mr.Frag and others taking the time to explain these things I'd be totally confused (instead of just mostly confused)

[Mr.Frag]

The manual could probably be 400 pages longer and there would still be stuff not well enough covered. Thats why we have a forum [;)]

Thank god for the forum! My average game session is; play a turn, find something I don't understand, go to the forum, play another turn, back to forum etc, etc [:D]

Thats what I thought. I had a little problem where I sent a TF of 5 APs I to Tarakan for resources and the option for loading was grayed out. I wish I knew how to do screenies. Have any tips anyone?

Right. They can also carry fuel IIRC, however, Can they carry oil?

Like the man said: Learn page 100. AKs carry fuel but not oil. Only AO's and TKs carry oil.

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.

I think another thing to consider is that oil also is required by heavy industry. Fuel is fuel, but lack of oil slows the entire production process.

Not really unless you are talking Japan. The Allied production is already synced with having enough to make it's numbers. Extra will not gain you extra aircraft as you can not expand the Allied industry.
