Warheads & OverheadsWarheads & Overheads

Warheads & Overheads is a satirical idle tycoon in which a one-character typo in a Pentagon database hands a failing family staple factory a 2.3 billion dollar defense contract. A seven-dollar pot goes in one end of the line and comes out billed to the taxpayer as a 436-dollar helmet, before gold-plating, while sealed-bid auctions are won by underbidding rivals and padded afterward with requirements like parts built in all fifty states.

Every padded dollar draws heat; too much brings auditors and then a congressional hearing where composure is a resource. When the walls close in, the company rebrands under a shinier name and runs the racket again, climbing a product ladder that ends at an orbital peace umbrella.
