Status: offline 		I am playing against the Japanese AI and I've captured some armament and vehicle factories. I turned them ON to produce and some points have accumulated. Will I be able to make use of any Veh or Armament points?

Thanks for any assistance.

Status: offline 		I believe you are playing as Allies since the Japanese AI is your opponent, so I will state that Armament and Aircraft factories turn into a smaller number of vehicle factories. BUT, from discussion with Alfred and others it seems the Allies do not get any usable benefit from captured vehicle factories - i.e. no vehicles are added to the pools from these factories. I think they exist purely for the Japanese to recapture and use, if they can.

I also think Manpower centres captured do not benefit the Allies. Merchant and Naval Shipyards convert to Repair Shipyards which are useful. I don't think the Allies can use HI points either, but the supply output is always good (if you can afford the fuel inputs). I try to capture bases with lots of Resources and some LI, but don't repair damaged industry unless I have oodles of supply.

HQ also just called me, that they want to want to buy all garbage dumps on the west coast, they have 7 Mio supply and not one qm of storage room left (after accounting it turned out these are 7,6 Mio and ONLY in SanFran, I said give some combat boots to the homeless, but they said no homeless are left everyone builds combat boots)

Status: offline 		wrt captured Japanese industry:

Captured economy-type factories (Manpower, HI, LI, Refinery, Oil & Resources) work just fine when they're re-flagged to the Allies. Keep their Production turned on, turn Repair on as needed, Resource factories get last priority.

As noted above, captured shipyards will auto-convert to usable Repair Shipyards, you'll want to turn Repair on if any are damaged.

Captured arms/aircraft factories (Armament, Vehicle, Engines, Air) are useless, turn Production & Repair off so they don't eat any supply.

hotkey 'J' brings up the Industry screen where you can manage these choices.

Please describe how Manpower benefits the Allies? I know the Japanese create new squads using Manpower points and supply, but the Allies cannot do this.
