I foolishly saved a Chinese BP in Sian, and now it has become Russian and is unusable. I even have tried to save another Chinese BP in another city, and get the opportunity to move the BP during the BP save phase, but an error comes up when I try to pick the BP up.

I recall somewhere that this has been dealt with by modding, but I cannot seem to find the entry and am uncertain of the search terms needed. Does anyone recall how I can change the BP to Chinese owned, and move it to a nationalist city?

I know it is easy enough to change 1 BP to 2 in the Nationalist city, but what do I do about the unusable one in Sian? I suppose if Japan eventually captures it, they can voluntarily destroy it, but that lacks elegance.

Can anyone point me the way?

My first impulse was to ask you not to bother, as the effect on my game is minimal and we could otherwise ignore it...

However, that you are offering to document, I do believe is important. The file I am sending is actually out-of-date. I am in a PBEM game and the turn is in the other player's hands. That being said, if you are documenting the process, I ought to be able to copy the process when my file is returned and rectify the problem at that point.

I just want you to know that whatever work you put into this particular file will not be useful for me... however the process is one that I believe should be documented as the issue is repeatable (simply save a Chinese BP in Sian (or any communist city), and will likely happen to someone else in future (I think the previous example I recall had to do with Vichy BP which ended up being non-Vichy owned somehow?).

Also note that there is an Chinese BP already saved in Kweiyang... and this could be used to recompense for a Chinese BP simply by adding to it... but ultimately, the solution should be accomplished by simply changing ownership (and perhaps location) of the affected BP.

Another aside, I did try to move the Sian resource to another city by picking it up and transfering via the save BP screen; however, the program would not allow me to do so and gave an error message that even if ignored, did not allow the BP to be moved by this route.

Thank-you in advance for documenting this as I think it will be useful. The file is attached:

Does anyone have the entries for Free French BP and Oil Points.

Can I just paste them without replacing any BP or Oil, but by simply pasting them into the file (with adjustments for location)? Or is there a particular order all of the entries must be in?
