@Young:
… but 100 transports defending against 1 attacking sub are all toast within a single combat round… right?
Yes, because transports on defense can’t retreat. That’s the huge difference.
Question: Lets say I buy 3 dice and get 2 6’s. Do I only get one breakthru or 2 breakthroughs now?
No you only get one breakthrough.
that is why i hate the oob rules for research is that is total crap for $5 a pop but generalhandgernade’s videos on it are the best
I reckon you should get two rolls and if you roll a tech you already have, you should get a re-roll. I believe that the above is the correct answer according to the official rules though.
Everyone should just get some research tokens and play by my rules. I’m in the middle of a game right now and it’s working out to be the best house rule I’ve ever seen by a mile. Germany has 3 weapons, Russia 1, Japan 2, US 2, UK 2 with one token still to develop and share, Italy 2, ANZAC 1.
This is after the 4th round;
