Argentine Q1/1931 Report

To make things easier for me I’ve based things on a monthly spend and to keep track of everything I’ve made an Excel spreadsheet. This is the first report so here goes…

Seven factories producing 7000tons of warship material a quarter or 2333tons per month

All ships laid down in March
Cost per month and building time per ship;
Mendoza 10.7 months (launch Aug 31) + 6 months shake down = 165 tons per month
Corrientes 4.5 months + 3 months shake down = 6000tons or 250tons per month Q1-comp Q2 then six more Q2-Q3 1932 allowing for 1 week turnaround time and not included shake down cruise.
General San Martin 11.5 months (launch Jun 31) + 6 months shake down = 220 tons per month

at Bahia Blanca:
1 Type 3 slip N/A
1 Type 1 slips Mendoza 1 165tons
1 Type 1 slips Mendoza 2 165tons
1 Type 0 slips Corrientes 1 250tons
1 Type 0 slips Corrientes 2 250tons
1 Type 0 slips Corrientes 3 250tons
1 Type 0 slips Corrientes 4 250tons
1 Type 3 drydock N/A
at Puerto Belgrano:
1 Type 2 slip Gen San Martin 220tons
1 Type 1 slip Mendoza 3 165tons
2 Type 1 drydock N/A
at Comodoro Rividavia:
1 Type 0 slips Corrientes 5 250tons
1 Type 1 slips Corrientes 6 250tons
1 Type 2 drydock N/A
2 Type 0 drydocks N/A

Small ships: Jan-Mar
Jan-Mar 1931 6x90 tons 2 per 3 complete factories = 540 tons

Total construction cost
Jan: 180
Feb: 180
Mar: 2575

Carry over to = 3665 tons 750tons be spent on San Martin per month in Q2 in quicken build rate

Foreign payments
Italy 2 DD and 2 licenses
400 tons in Feb and 330tons in March.

Two things: 1, the 6 month shake-down is after the ship is complete, so if you were stretching the time to pay for a ship over the shake-down, you shouldn't; and 2, I'm not sure what you mean by "quicken build rate".

The shake down is on there to show the time before she is combat ready. No material will be spent during this time, sorry my layout misled you.
Instead of spending 220tons on Gen San Martin I shall spend 750tons in April and May to amass the 40% for launching but I snan't launch until the theoretical time as in the rules. Or if any one can convince of a better way to spend my cash in Q2 I'm open to suggestions.

Small motor launches are always an easy way to spend small amounts of tonnage.

Also if you dedicate factorys to IP points production their output in the final quarter will be doubled.

For example if you "fix" 2 factory's to IP production, fix in the sence that for 4 quarters you can't revert back to producing warship materials with those 2 factorys, you'll get the following IP's per quarter....

Q1: 0.2 IP's
Q2: 0.2 IP's
Q3: 0.2 IP's
Q4: 0.2 IP's + 0.2 bonus points, Total: 0.4 IP's
Total yearly IP output 1.0 IP's

You may want to consider that if you plan on updating that Type 0 drydock in Comodoro Rividavia.
