Following the reduction in the size of military units, there is an increased supply of weapons and ammunition on the market.
It is clear that some of it comes from countries or enterprises and is not the result of overproduction. This is visible on the utilization page that shows supplies at a percentage that is higher than 100, meaning that more products are offered than produced in a specific month.
We have now started a temporary period of purchasing of some weapons and ammunition from the market.
The aim is to prevent many weapon and ammunition corporations from going into major difficulties because of this temporary increase in the offerings of these products.
Each game month, a small percentage of the oversupply will be bought on the market and the products will be discarded.
The purchasing will depend on the severity of the oversupply and will differ from one product to another.
The purchasing program will never create any shortages. It will somewhat reduce the numbers of oversupplied products.
We will run the procedure for only several game months. |

I for one like the oversupply. Prices go down. Weapons and ammo are cheaper. U can buy more. |

As I said, we will not reverse the oversupply and the pricing will not change because of what we do.
it will just prevent these corporations from bankrupting.
if they go, this oversupply can change into a major shortage and prices will fly.
we only do this because we reduced the size of units and may have worsened the situation on the market. |
