Production overview

"Production" rules

• Only certain production types can be produced
To put a new unit on the battlefield map, you must "produce" a unit composed of specific weapons. Production goes into the action phase, but the weapons produced cannot take action as a unit until the next turn's action phase.
∙ Weapons that can be produced are limited to the production types specified in the map condition settings. There are 8 production types available in this game in advance, but each production type has the following features.

Production type		Characteristic
Japan		There are many expensive and excellent weapons, but they are mainly defensive. No aircraft carriers are available.
U.S.A.		In particular, airborne weapons are powerful and thick. Price is high. strongest.
Russia		Military power equal to the United States. Anti-aircraft vehicles are substantial. Ground weapons such as main battle tanks are excellent, but the sky and sea are poor.
Germany		Ground weapons such as main battle tanks are excellent, but the sky and sea are poor.
England		There are few types of weapons, but the balance is good. There is also a helicopter carrier.
France		There is only a major exporter of weapons.
Israel		Ground and air weapons are relatively good, but maritime weapons are deadly.
China		Has the latest weapons and is on par with Japan.

• Funds
  In order to produce it, you need funds for the price of the weapon. Production takes place in a way that consumes this money, and of course, it is not possible to produce more than the capital held at that time.

• Production point
  Production can only be performed on certain buildings within 5 hexes of the capital, and terrain around 6 hexes adjacent to the capital. Weapons that have no production points on the battlefield map cannot be produced on that map. For example, a battlefield map with no ports cannot produce ships.

  Capital	：Ground Force
  Around the capital (Plain, snowy, desert, road only )	：Ground Force
  City	：Ground Force
  Airport	：Air force
  Port	：Maritime force

• Restrictions such as number of production
  A side can have up to 50 units. If the number of troops has reached the limit and you want to produce another troop, delete the extra troops with [Disband] and start production.
  Ground units and aerial units are placed on the “ground” layer immediately after production. Therefore, if another unit already exists in the “ground” layer of the production terrain, these units cannot be produced. Naval units are placed in the “Marine” layer immediately after production. As a result, you cannot produce a naval unit if another unit already exists in the "sea" layer of the production terrain.

Production method

1. Click on a hex that can be produced during your side's Action Phase.

2. The [Production] dialog is displayed. The dialog lists the weapon type icons, weapon names, weapon types, and prices of weapons that can be produced there. The weapon displayed in red here means that it cannot be produced due to lack of funds.

3. From the weapons list, click to select the desired weapon. At this time, if you double-click the weapon, the "Weapon Detailed Information" dialog will be displayed.

4. Clicking the [OK] button while a weapon is selected closes the [Production] dialog box and places the weapon as a unit on the battlefield map. At the same time the production price is subtracted from the funds.

• Cost：The price for the production of one unit. / The price per unit if units were produced with that weapon.

• Number of formation ：The number of aircraft per unit if units were produced with that weapon. Normally there are 10 aircraft, but two large aircraft such as transport aircraft and one ship are included. The number of formations lost in battle can be recovered by replacement. Units with a formation of "0" will disappear from the battlefield map.

  Variation	You can switch between vehicle form and base form with [Variation]. For weapons that can be transformed, a [Transform] button is added to the weapon column in the "Detailed weapon information" dialog. Click this button to compare and display the weapon data before and after deformation.
  A.Low	When boarding a transport aircraft, you can [descent] from a low altitude level to the ground without having to land at the airport.
  A.Mid	When boarding a transport, etc., you can [descent] from a hollow level to the ground without having to land at the airport.
  Board	Can be transported with another unit.
  Supply	Fuel and ammunition can be replenished to adjacent units and on-board units.
  Repair	If the durability of the unit's aircraft is impaired, it can be repaired.

• Boarding type ：Indicates what type of weapon the unit will be treated as when entering the transport unit. If this boarding type is not included in the "Loadable" type of the transport unit, [Boarding] cannot be performed.
  There are seven types of boarding types: "ship mounted", "VTOL", "heli", "heavy vehicle", "vehicle", "light vehicle" and "infantry".
  Weapons with a blank boarding type cannot be boarded.

• Can be installed ：This indicates the type and number of weapons that the transport unit can carry. If this column displays "ship mounted", the types that can be mounted include the lower types "VTOL" and "Heli". Similarly, "VTOL" includes "heli".
  The same applies to ground units, and “heavy vehicles” include the lower-level types “vehicles”, “light vehicles” and “infantry” “Vehicle” includes “light vehicle” and “infantry”, and “light vehicle” includes “infantry”.

• Search range ：It shows the hex range where you can search around and find enemies with radar. Here, the search range set by altitude level is displayed. The number in the "Hierarchy" column indicates the number of hierarchies that can be searched for in hierarchies with different altitudes. For example, if a unit is on a high altitude level and the “level” is “+ 3−3”, it can search up to the ground level three levels below (−3), but can search the marine level (−4). can not.

• Mobile consumption ：This is a list of movement power consumption by movement type and terrain. When you select the altitude tier button on the left side, the name of the "movement type" applied when moving to that altitude tier and the consumption movement power by specific terrain are displayed. If the altitude hierarchy button itself is dark and cannot be selected, it means that the altitude hierarchy cannot be entered. You cannot enter the terrain where "-" is displayed.

• Evasion by class：If the enemy unit is attacked while the weapon is at a certain altitude, it shows how much it can evade.

  Maximum durability	It is the durability of each machine at the time of the armed pack. If this becomes "0", the units that make up the unit will be lost. Durability can be restored by repair.
  Fuel	This is the maximum fuel for the weapon pack. Each time you spend one movement, you also lose one fuel. Aerial units always consume one-fourth their normal movement fuel per turn, even if they are not moving, unless they land or land. Fuel will be restored to full by refueling.
  Normal movement	It is a numerical value that shows how much you can normally move in one turn with the armed pack. Basically, you can move the same number of hexes as your movement, but you will need to spend extra movement depending on the terrain you pass, so you will have less hexes to advance.
  High speed movment	When moving faster (farther), fast moving force is applied. When this movement is spent, it consumes twice as much fuel.
  ECM Evasion	It shows the ECM's ability at the time of the armed pack. A large ECM value can be expected to reduce the hit rate of missile attacks from enemies.

• Weapon information ：A summary of the performance of each weapon that can be equipped. Weapons displayed in bright bands indicate that they are included in the currently selected weapon pack.

Hit rate	It shows how much accuracy you can expect for each type of service. The higher the number, the higher the hit rate.
Range	It shows how many hexes away enemy units can be attacked at each elevation level. The number in the “Hierarchy” column indicates how far you can attack at different altitudes. For example, if the unit is on a hollow level and the “level” is “+ 1−1”, you can attack enemies in the high level one level above (+1) and the low level one level below (−1).
Attack performance	The abbreviations indicate the characteristics of the weapon. 「攻」：A weapon that can only be used when attacking. 「防」：This weapon can only be used when defending (counterattack). 「全」：A weapon that can be used for both attack and defense. 「Ｅ」：It is a weapon whose accuracy is reduced by the opponent's ECM avoidance. 「Ｍ」：It is a weapon that becomes a mega hex attack.
Adjacent	「○」If it is marked, it can also be used for combat between adjacent hexes (including different altitude levels).
Mobile	「○」If so, you can use the weapon after moving.
