Manpower

[unmerged(84361)]

Quick question.

Im fighting the USA atm as Japan, if they are down to ten manpower, how often can it churn new units out?

If one of its many new units is 'finished' by the factory and not enough manpower is in the pool at that exact time, what happens?

Depends on how many MP is generated per day i would say. Also depends on their combat looses. Remember trickleback.

Manpower costs are paid for when you start the unit, not when it is finished, so anything that comes off the production line will be ready to go.

Only the first in the serial.

The newly-finished unit can be deployed, but the next unit in the serial cannot be started. It just sits in the build queue, consuming ICs every day but making no progress towards completion, until Manpower is available to start it. Effectively, it "blocks" the build queue. I don't know whether the Gearing bonus is lost if the unit is kept funded but no Manpower exists to start construction on it.
