Many thanks, Hugh Browne

Status: offline 		The game rules indicate that oil costs for reorganisation are:

quote:


No more than 5 units can trace a path to the same oil resource.

Work out how many oil dependent units you want to organize. Each HQ-I counts as 2 units, each HQ-A counts as 3 and each aircraft that takes 2 turns to build counts as half a unit. Divide the total by 5. This is the minimum number of oil resources (whether from the current turn or saved) that you must spend. This means that you can organize 2 units for nothing (because 0.4 rounds to zero).

If 3 or more units trace a path to the same oil resource, you must spend that resource. This may mean that you will have to spend more oil resources than the minimum number.

Example: You have only 2 oil resources and 6 disorganized oil dependent units. You will have to spend a minimum of 1 oil resource to organize them because 6/5 = 1.2, which rounds to 1. You will only have to spend the minimum if 4 or 5 of the units can trace a path to the same resource. But suppose that 3 units can only trace to 1 of the resources and the other 3 can only trace to the second resource. In that case, you would have to spend both resources to organize all 6 units.

Each naval unit (CVPiF/SiF option 56: or carrier plane) you organize counts as half a unit and each convoy point counts as a quarter of a unit.

CLiF option 75: Each CA or CL you organize counts as a quarter of a unit.

Status: offline 		I should add that the game displays oil reorganisation costs in terms of fractions of an oil point, rather than in "unit-equivalents" (which is a holdover from the boardgame rules).

So an armour HQ (HQ-A), which counts as 3 of the 5 units that a single oil point can reorganise, is in-game shown to have an oil reorganisation cost of 0.6 oil points.

It's probably more intuitive than the rules presentation.

There is also a list in the game under Help - Unit Costs and Characteristics
