WesWorld

Was not sure what to build any more, but now that I have some ideas again, I can continue on this path to rule the world.
:-)
Error corrections from last report: both the Sena Rika and the Sawada Aya did not require any more tons (forgot to change that to 0 tons). Also, they were completed during that quarter and started the shakedown cruise. (edit: damn it! Those two are pretty persistent to stay in my reports!)
Same goes for the Dairen and the T’ai-pei. Although they were completed last quarter as indicated, I forgot to add them to the the shakedown cruise list.
-_-;;
Hopefully no errors this time... especially with all the Ki-ichi's getting a refit.

Japan’s Naval Developments – Q2/1928

A. Industrial Allocation

27/27 factories producing warship material = 27,000 t. No stockpiled materials available. 27,000 t are used, no materials stockpiled.

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

B. Infrastructure Development

None.
