Minor, Medium, Major Factory (Pumpkin Orange

Factories represent the industrial base that enabled modern mass warfare. During the world wars, governments coordinated contracts, labor, transport, power, and raw materials to expand the output of weapons and equipment. Plants differed greatly in capacity and specialization; an aircraft factory, ammunition works, and vehicle assembly plant were not interchangeable facilities. Minor, medium, and major factory symbols are useful abstractions of those differences rather than literal historical classifications shared by every nation.

Factory dispersal reduced the risk of losing all production in one attack but complicated transport and management. Wartime governments constantly balanced concentration for efficiency against the vulnerability of large, easily identified industrial sites.
