@The-Captain You’re absolutely right, but as the Russian player I’ve been glad to see those factories bombed out. Germany has moved the Southern Italy, Berlin, and Paris factories underground as they consider those the main factories they’ll be producing from. The Allies learned this the hard way too the India Industrial Complex took a lot of bombing damage. It’s kind of late but UK may finally put that factory underground.
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.
