Thanks Moose. Your assumption is correct - I've got about 8 squadrons of B-24's available for this effort. I didnt notice much oil there, wouldnt that be affected by no oil flowing from Magwe now ?
Not sure what you are getting at here- Rangoon has no oil production to recon and if the enemy holds it you should not have any intel on the oil stocks.
What oil there was from Magwe can be sent to Moulmein by rail and then down the gray road to Tavoy or Mergui where it can trickle one hex through the jungle to Bangkok. Supply does this so I do not see why oil would not.
Re: the fire storms, I have achieved fires over 1 million (B-29s in the Downfall scenario) but they quickly die down to a few thousands that burn for days. This is where the industry damage seems to happen.
The alternative is to bomb each industry directly but the damage there is not permanent. It is limited to one point of repair per industry per day and uses 1000 supply for each, so later in the game it is pretty much the same as permanent damage. But early on the damage can be repaired.
