Saving Oil

I am having a difficult time getting my oil resources to save. For instance in a recent turn I changed (in the preliminary production phase) all 4 oil resources for Japan to Save at Tokyo. They showed Save at Tokyo in the Final Production Phase. Yet at the beginning of the next turn, no additional Oil saved anywhere in the Islands.

Same general problem with Germany and Commonwealth. With the commonwealth I seem to not be able to convoy the Oil from Venezuela to anywhere. I have 3 convoys in the Caribbean, and I try to have those Oil save at Bermuda, or Bridgetown, but so such luck, the Oil just goes to waste.

For Italy I have a slightly different problem. When I try to save the traded Oil from Romania I am told that a neutral major power can only save one Oil resource per turn. Well I only have one so I'm again not sure what the issue is.

I have read everything I can find in the printed materials, but I can't find a good explanation of what specific key strokes I need to make at what time in what screen to get this Oil to be saved. Reference to some specific instructions or those specific instructions themselves would be most appreciated.

I'm having that problem with Italy. I tried saving the rumainian oil sent to Italy but I keep getting the message only one oil is allowed to be saved a turn for a country not at war. Now the only oil Italy is getting is the one from Rumania and it keeps going in to production. What am I missing here?

RickInVA: There is currently a bug which prevents saving more than one oil in a city or port. Have you tried saving just one per in different locations?

chekers: Sorry, it sounds like yours is a different problem.

Please post things that seem to be bugs in the Technical Support area.

Well, that explains a lot. Thanks for that.

By that do you mean "save more than one per turn in that specific city or port" or "save more than one in that specific city or port at the same time (never can have 2+)"?

1 per city only for the short term until it is fixed. I believe this will be fixed in the .05 patch next week.

"Never have more than 2" is my understanding.
