ORIGINAL: JockJimmy @Chickenboy: Whilst I'm only starting to grasp the complexities of playing Japan it almost seems that I have more R&D factories than I can use, or rather expand. With approx 76x R&D factories surely it is too expensive to expand them all to 30(0)? Is in not better to have 2x15(0) rather than 1x 30(0) + 1x unused? As the game advances, you will want to convert some of those R&D factories to production units when the model they research is ready. This lets you start producing at once, and saves on repair costs (unless the new model is an upgrade of one you are already building). You will especially need those conversions if you play PDU Off, because the number of different models you have to produce will increase as the war goes on. As a result, you will "lose" R&D factories over time, and this is best done one factory at a time (to maximize future R&D). In the end, you want all of your R&D factories to have been built to 30, and most of them to have been turned to production. At 1000 SP per repair, this means a lot of supply (for 76 30 pt factories, over 2 million supply points...) Francois
