“

Ouch! That must have been expensive! - Malcolm Granger on destroying a war factory

”

War factories are structures assembled on the battlefield by China and are used to manufacture a large array of tanks and other vehicles.

Background

China uses war factories to produce its legion of vehicles. These buildings are a common sight on the battlefield, often constructed in large numbers where sometimes its possible to see entire tank divisions come out of them in seemingly endless amounts. From the Battlemaster tank to the devastating nuke cannon and the powerful Overlord tank, all Chinese combat vehicles are produced here.
