1.18 WFA AAR

[Hoodinski]

So here's my little AAR playing 1.18 version on Normal. For my HQ I've chosen Warsaw, 'coz that's the place I live.

WFA Warszawska Fabryka Automobilów (English: Warsaw Automobile Factory)

01/1900

• The WFA (or as it should be mentioned during that time ВАЗ - Варшавский Автомобильный Завод, as this part of Poland was still under Russian rule) is established. Reports show that compact cars, microcars and phaetons are the bee's knees around Europe.
  
• WFA starts working on the Econo line of chasses, engines and gearboxes. It'll be a few years of strife.
  

04/1901

• In hopes of increasing sales I open a branch in Vienna, Austro-Hungary.
  

1/1902

• The WFA 1901 101 P phaeton is ready for the picking but it will have to wait a bit – it'll be available on 1/1903 when the resizing of our Warsaw factory is finished.
