With 1.06c, I am invading Britain in fall 1940. Got my beach-head, ferrying several troops to Southampton, establishing an oil/supply convoy from St-Malo. All fine and dandy so far.

I maxed my supply ships to make sure I have enough oil to sustain all those tanks and mechanised troops. My min in Southampton never goes below zero.
I get some more provinces north of London, until it is surrounded. I prepare for the final blow but then my oil dissapears! I figure it's a sabotage feature or something, so I change the convoy destination to Plymouth. The amount gets to say 104, and stays there throughout the days... My troops don't use the supplies!!! :confused:

I switch back, change the origin, nothing. Even worse: When I finally take London, my oil total (in Berlin) goes from roughly 40000 to -159000. :eek: No joke, negative!!! The following day it resets to zero. I lost ALL my oil!!!

WTF? :mad:

Is that a known issue?
I've repeated the invasion, exact same thing. Seems to be linked to the attack on London... How weird.

Yes. The AI can accumulate a negative ressource stock. And when you conquer an enemy capital, you get most of their stock. Which essentially means you inherit their oildeficit.

It doesn't make sense, but that's how it works (the AI takes liberties with ressource and MP restraints).
