Tungsten in the UK

[Amur_Tiger]

Just for the sake of comparison US munition production consumed 15000 US tons of tungsten during the war so that should give you a taste of the demand side of the equation.

According to that Burma peaked at slightly higher output than Portugal during WW2. The mines in England peaked at less than 1/20th of that. Should still be significant enough to represent in the game though.

I suspect tungsten production in Burma was not particularly huge concern for Japan as they had so many other sources and this was the most distant from Japan.

From your source, that looks like 15K tons during the 'peak year' during the war, which the document noted was twice US' production of tungsten (implying that the US should need to trade for tungsten in the game). Great find, love the 50s vibe of the source .

Cheers all . This is the way to do it - look at the actual data, come up with something sensible. I'd go with Antediluvian's assessment that it rates on the HoI4 scale (but not as a major source, just as a source), particularly as it's a domestic source that doesn't need to be convoyed in (the whole reason it was ever viable in the first place).

The Mine was closed down in '44 because there were cheaper deposits. However according to the British geological society there was about 125 - 225 tonnes W(Tungsten) produced yearly in WWII by UK mines, but the Hermadon mine in 1918–1919, processed 16,000 tonnes of ore and, Hemerdon Wolfram Ltd constructed a 90,000-tonne per year mill with 55% Wolfram(old name for Tungsten) recovery, which began operation in 1941.

I would like UK tungsten production to show up in HOI 4.

I do not know what value it would take in though.
