Arabian oilfields didn’t come till after WWII.
This sounds like a cool rool!
@Uncrustable:
Saudi Arabia should not
Sauda arabia has tons of oil!
Il revise my statement:
No one knew about oil in Saudi Arabia until AFTER WWII
As I recall the Germans also used a technique that sythnesized wheat to make oil?

Ooooh what a juicy warcrime. Starve civilians to make ethanol.

Well when your already committing mass genocide i doubt you care about making a few people go on a forced diet lol
What would having a shortage of oil do? Perhaps limit the amount of Mechanized units that can blitz/take part in combat on a single turn. Maybe every oil well is worth ten tanks/mechs of blitzing and combat.
If you don’t have enough, not all of your units can blitz, or they can attack at a decreased value. Tanks that aren’t supplied properly would attack on 2 two, rather than a 3.
You are blitzing 4 mechs and 4 tanks into a territory, and making attacks with 14 tanks, but you only have two oil wells. You can supply 20 units of oil, but are using 22 units of oil (8 from blitzing, and 14 from the combat), so two of your tanks must fight at a two instead of a three. How does that sound?
Should have oils in:
US mainland Territories (2)
Saudi Arabia
Persia
Northwest Persia
Mexico- Oil here not developed till after the war.
Iraq
Caucasus
At least 2 others in Soviet Union…Kazakhstan and another further east.
Venezuela
Slovakia/Hungary
Romania
Java
Sumatra
Borneo
Rules:
Oil loss should limit production of 2,4,and 6 space movers. You must control at least one of these areas or you face combat movement demerit ( not non-combat movement).
procedure: Make values for the oil centers. note the total must be balanced for axis or allied nations and each nation should have access to at least one oil source.
Total values = total number of 2,4,or 6 space movers that can be bought that turn, or move in combat that turn.
NCM remains unchanged ( they move normally)

"The origins of Saudi Aramco can be traced back to May 29, 1933, when the Saudi government granted a concession to Standard Oil of California (Socal) in preference to a rival bid from the Iraq Petroleum Company. The concession allowed Socal to explore for oil in Saudi Arabia. Socal assigned this concession to a wholly owned subsidiary called California-Arabian Standard Oil Co. (Casoc). In 1936, with the company having no success at locating oil, the Texas Oil Company (Texaco) purchased a 50% stake of the concession.[14]
After four years of fruitless exploration, the first success came with the seventh drill site in Dammam, a few miles north of Dhahran in 1938, a well referred to as Dammam No. 7. This well immediately produced over 1,500 barrels per day (240 m3/d), giving the company confidence to continue. The company name was changed in 1944 from California-Arabian Standard Oil Company to Arabian American Oil Company (or Aramco). In 1948, Socal and Texaco were joined as investors by Standard Oil of New Jersey (Esso) which purchased 30% of the company, and Socony Vacuum (later Mobil) which purchased 10% of the company, leaving Socal and Texaco with 30% each."
Each year this becomes 547,500 barrels per year. 1/2 million barrels may not meet the threshold. 1 million should be the minimum
LOL…
1948 - Ghawar Field discovered in Saudi Arabia - the largest conventional oil field in the world (about 80 billion barrels)
1950 - Aramco agreement with Saudi Arabia
