Very much so... in our old T2k American Campaign we had those oil fields brougth back on line, and construction of refineries became top priority of both CivGov and MilGov... Of course sabotage (or Monkey warfare) was happening all the time. Nothing to get someone killed, just setbacks in how quickly they could get facilities online.
If i can get a new campaign going, the "Progressive Allaince for a New America" would be the biggest hurdle in getting oil refineries built...
I use to have a map of europe that was from the 1950s that showed where these old oil fields where located. But i've not seen said map in almost 10 years... It showed all of the natural resources of Europe, and all of the (then) Soviet Union. It made me wonder WHY the Soviet Union was having such a problem with building it's ecconomy with the massive amounts of natural resources at their disposal.
