Manufacturing Production
New Factories and Shipyards can be built - see Facilities: Construction .
AIRCRAFT FACTORY
- Production of 10,000 points per week. Requires allocation of 5,000-tons steel/week.
- Select aircraft type to be built for the week. Only one aircraft type can be in production for the week.
- Produces number of aircraft as per the spreadsheet.
- Add newly produced aircraft to the Aircraft Factory Stockpile
- Disperse aircraft from stockpile to replenish existing squadrons or to create new squadrons
- Homeland: make a 'book' transfer
- Overseas: if in range, replenish/create squadrons as above. If not in range then must be transported by cargo vessel. A cargo vessel can transport ½ a squadron
NEW ARMY GROUPS
- The Homeland Capital produces either 2 new Army Groups OR 1 new Artillery Group per week
- Add new Army Groups and Artillery Groups to your Order of Battle on the datasheet.
- Place new units on the Capital or adjacent to it.
ARMY FACTORY
- Requires 5000-tons of steel per week
- Produces 10,000-pts munitions and supplies per week for overseas Army Groups, Artillery and Operational Airfields
- Overseas Army Groups require 2500- pts of supplies per week
- Overseas Artillery requires 2500- pts of supplies per week
- Overseas Airfields require 2500- pts per week
- Forces based in the Homeland and Homeland Airfields are AUTOMATICALLY supplied
- Supplies for overseas forces and airfields need to be transported to and deposited at the nearest Port to the group/artillery/airfield.
- This stockpile must remain at the Port of unloading (unless re-shipped elsewhere to another port-stockpile).
- It is assumed that Army groups, Artillery and airfields that require supply will automatically draw them from the stockpile.
- Supplies (5000- pts) are drawn fortnightly and no more than the proper quota can be issued.
- Note: Ports can be bombed and over-run.
SHIPYARDS
- Production is 10,000 points per week.
- Produces & Repairs shipping.
- Production & Repair Rates:
- Battleships & Large Carriers: 1,000-tons per day
- Cruisers & Small Carriers: 500-tons per day
- Destroyers & Small ships: 100-tons per day
- Merchant Shipping: 400-tons per day.
- Before building can commence, sufficient steel must have been allocated from the stockpile
- 1-ton of steel is required to build 1-ton of shipping.
- An additional 500-tons of steel is required per 1" of belt-armour
- Out of every 10,000 tons of steel reaching the homeland, no more than 100-tons can be allocated to submarine production and no more than 500-tons to aircraft-carrier production
