persian/iraqi oil

[boldairade]

if the axis takes egypt/etc, and these nations join the axis, what exactly happens to their oil? do they have to convoy it to germany? can they? or does germany just get the oil?

if a land route could be established(take turkey/yugo/greece) would that help to transport the oil?

[boldairade]

bump. i really need an answer here

is all that oil really useless to the axis?

you cannot send oil FROM a minor TO a major?

It traces via the Med if you control the rail line. The Italians need the MMs to transport it.

What if you can’t establish the rail Lionel?

It seems counter intuitive that you’d need mm if you HAD the rail to move it?

Did I misunderstand your response?

Is there any way to know if you have inadequate mm? In game message?

Iraq -> Syria -> Tripoli -> Mediterranean -> Italy -> Germany.

You can't go through turkey because Istanbul didn't have bridges crossing the straits at this time.

Persia -> Convoys -> good luck getting past the Allies
or Persia -> Caucasus -> Good lucky getting past the partisans -> Germany

Being the Axis is hard.
