+__Always make sure you resource bar is not red before hitting 'next turn' so you are not wasting production.__  That is basically it.  The key is to plan your needs ahead as it will take a will to make pre-cursors.  You can speed the process through research.  Germany starts with a special production delay due to economic disorganization.  Produced pre-cursors start in Stage 1 (everyone else's start in Start 2) .  This means it takes an extra turn to make the pre-cursors.  Play the 'Production Reorganization' card to remove this special penalty:

+All players (and Germany once the 'Production Reorg' card is played) can further improve pre-cursor completion speed through research.  This research allows you to skip 1, 2 or 3 stages of pre-cursor production respectively:
+{{:waw:stage_research.jpg|}}
+//Note that if you skip 3 stages, your pre-cursors will be produced at stage 5.  The total time to make both pre-cursors and the final unit is now 3 turns (e.g., 1 turn to make pre-cursor to stage 5, one turn to finish the pre-cursor and one turn to make the unit.//
+Note also that hull pre-cursors only move up the stages on even turns.  In effect, hulls take twice as long to make.
