Japan’s Naval Developments – Q2/1932

A. Industrial Allocation

27/27 factories producing warship material = 27,000 t. 18,539 tons stockpiled materials available. Total materials available: 40,876 t. 39,349 t are used. 6,190 t materials stockpiled.

0/27 factories are dedicated to producing infrastructure material, = 0x 0.1 = 0.0 points.
