ORIGINAL: brian brian could you expand on that Steve? I am thinking only of the Final Reorganization phase. A unit can trace through secondary sources to trace to a primary of course. I'm not sure what you are thinking there. Some day I'll learn to play this game. Perhaps I am just used to always playing with the Limited Isolated Re-Organization option turned on. We started using that as a House Rule even in 4th edition. [That optional rule requires being able to trace a supply path of any length to re-organize at the end of the turn.] You can reorganize during a turn via Re-org points from HQ, ATR, at-sea TRS/AMPH, or HQs with an Offensive Chit, but at that point you don't trace to Oil or even a supply source to do that. With Isolation turned on (an optional rule) then a non-HQ unit would need to trace to a primary supply source. But that could be an HQ that was a primary supply source for the turn (by burning a Supply Unit). In the Use Oil phase, the HQ would then be listed as an oil point resource, even if the non-HQ unit were isolated from primary supply sources in its home country. So the non-HQ would be able to be reorganized even if it needed oil to reorganize. I'm probably being picky here but having written the code for all of those combinations and permutations, I prefer to be precise. I'm very leery of generalizations about WIF rules anyway, and the oil rules in particular. EDIT: For an example, consider a disorganized German armor unit in the United Kingdom next to an HQ which just used a Supply Unit to become a primary supply source for the turn.
