I'm not sure? I'm not use to having to declare war on each territory. What all should I check for?

[Elessar2]

Dutch East Indies, and all of those oil wells. I simply didn't see any convoys from there in your MPP summary. But usually the ports get knocked down and won't go back online until they're back at 5.
