I think what I would do is just stack Paris, sink z96, and grab Java and land the ANZAC fighters there. I calculate that Germany would have to use the entire luftwaffe plus all land units in range to take Paris without losing large number of tanks/mechs. I think this is historically fair because stacking Paris would be in the spirit of France being in defensive mode, and let’s just say that in the real war France got diced by the sickle cut. It should have been harder for Germany. So in this scenario the royal navy would be quite safe and without any possibility of sealion they could easily afford to nuke Taranto and build an IC in Egypt right away. Russia gets some breathing room and a strong UK gives USA more room to focus on the Pacific. ANZAC having an extra round of income and $14 for the first couple rounds is a small help too.
Re-release of board game "Crude" includes MANY derricks, barrels, and oil wells!

Unfortunately, they only come in black and red, but hey, if you enjoy painting your pieces, you might really get a kick out of some of these sculpts!

Any thoughts?

(Not to mention that it looks like a fun game as well…)

Ya, � I was using my red (gas) & black (oil) barrels from my HO train layout in the D-Day game trying to figure out how to use them. Use red for fuel or black and green for supplies. They look great on board. Still want to try using them for supplies in my 2 bigger global games. Be nice if there was a open bed truck to carry them and use in running supplies up to front lines or where needed. That game would be the one to buy if the barrels are not to big. Thanks for the info. Maybe IL nows where to buy those open bed trucks.

A game called ‘Gigantan’ was remade and does have open bed trucks. Check BGG

Close, but try GIGANTEN, 4 players : http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/138389/giganten
Only four trucks, too big though. Lot of oil derricks, 3 barrels and 5 locomotives.
And the new version BLACK GOLD, 5 players : http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/1018738/black-gold

Those are some interesting pieces. I like the locomotives.
