Construction
New Facilities can be constructed. There is no limit to the number or type of facilities that can be built.
The only limitation on construction is the availabilty of a land-hex on the strategic map. A hex may contain only ONE facility.
Depending on the type of facility being built, there may be a requirement for steel to be allocated, an Army Group to be employed in the construction or both.
Note: construction (like repairs) takes place DAILY and is not part of the weekly production cycle except insofar as facilities will still undergo construction on that day.
STEEL: where construction of a facility requires steel, the full amount required MUST be allocated and deducted from the stockpile PRIOR to construction commencing. If there is insufficient steel in the stockpile then construction cannot go ahead.
Assigned army groups must be present in the hex occupied by the facility itself.
