 When a racing contract goes unfilled, the teams or series can purchase designs from the open market. When this happens, they may purchase your designs, even though you have no associations with the team. There is no way to prevent this action since they are purchasing the designs as regular consumers.  When a racing contract goes unfilled, the teams or series can purchase designs from the open market.

 +When a war begins at a factory location, the Munitions action memo will appear. This memo gives you four options. And you won't be able to change these selections until another location enters the war. The area beside the buttons describes the action, but we'll also cover it somewhat on here.
 +
 +  - **No Munitions** => No factory you control will produce munitions.
 +  - **Home Factories** => Factories in your HQ country will produce munitions. There is no image penalty for this, but it does increase the chance of factory destruction, and you won't be able to make military contacts.
 +  - **Foreign Factories** => Factories located in war zones outside of your HQ nation will produce munitions. This gives you revenues for factories you otherwise wouldn't be able to use. This action also decreases the chance of factory confiscation, but it increases the likelihood of factory destruction and lowers your image rating. 
 +  - **All Factories** => Every factory you own in a war zone will produce munitions. You will lose your ability to manufacture war contracts, but you will make money from all your factories. It increases the chance of factory destruction but lowers the chance of factory confiscation. This action will lower your image rating.

 +Producing munitions greatly increases the chance of factory destruction. This can be from mistakes made on the factory floor or targeting by the enemy. Either way, when your factory is destroyed, you'll receive a high-priority memo.
