Resources

[Anthropoid]

I'm a bit confused about resources in WPO. As I recall from WiTP (have not touched my CD for a year or more) picking up resources and sending them back for production facilities is important. However, I'm aware that "production is off" in WPO.

I see that several Japanese cities have "Resource" levels listed in their stats, but I cannot find any other cities that do (particularly in Melanesia, Phil, and Indonesia where the Japs would be lookng to extract resources).

Do Resources matter in the game, or is this just a vestige from the basic WiTP engine?

There is no mention of Resources in the Victory Conditions, so I'm assuming that the value of bases as resource sources is rolled into their VP value? But then this seems to be contradictory to the statements of "blockading and starving the Japanese mainland" as an agenda for the Allied player?

In the scenarios where production is turned off resources and oil do not do anything. Although I believe the AI uses it somehow.

Apparently TankerAce is working on a scenario with production turned on but that is out in the future. Right now only the locations with daily supply and fuel are important.

Certain user mods reflect that by moving supply/fuel generation overseas, e.g. Cautionaries and Mike's Pacific War.

Cool. I'm guessing that there is a number that is associated with each city that tells you how much fuel or supply it generates per turn?

Here you can see the daily supply and fuel. This is from my Great War scenario.
