Celebes oil production?

[Gisgo XVII]

Hi all,

I’m working on a modified G40 map for 1942 (I prefer all players to be at war at the start of the game), and I was thinking about adding oil icons on the map as I’ve seen on other custom maps. My limited googling indicates the Celebes didn’t/doesn’t produce oil…I always assumed it did. Does anyone have different information about Celebes oil production he can point me to? Otherwise, I’m not putting an oil icon there.

First post. I’ve been reading posts for over a year and enjoy the community and WW2 history.

Welcome to the party, Gisgo XVII! I don’t believe Celebes has ever had any oil production of significance.

Thanks for the welcome and the response. No oil icon for the Celebes then.

I’ve done a ton of research on raw materials for my upcoming A&A game which will include two scenarios.

Here is a good start for you. https://ww2-weapons.com/military-expenditures-strategic-raw-materials-oil-production

Thanks for the link, Erocco. Very interesting production and consumption numbers.

Great Reference guide.  Thanks.  Looking at adding Rubber Resource to our map.  We already use Oil and Iron Ore.

Oil & Rubber Markers for the board.  These are .66" round stickers.  Have Iron Ore as well
