I’m still not sure that this aspect of the tech discussion belongs here since it is more about a house rule but I mentioned how we have developed a progressive valued chart for the techs but I didn’t give the limitations of attaining the tech. A tech die is three (3) IPC’s every tern a player wants to roll for a tech. A neutral nation can roll one die only per rounf thatthey are neutral. That is three IPC’s per round. If a tech has a R&D value of 25, it may take a nation at least 5 rounds to develop that tech. That is at least 15 IPC’s in order to develop a tech. A nation that is war may invest in three dice (9IPC’s) per rounf in order to develop three different tech.'s at a time. They can not be applied to a single tech but must be spread over the three techs to be develpoed. It can get expensive but the thought process is this; a country will invest in R&D to develop a specific technology. It will not just through money at a problem and randomly hope to get a good result….governments maybe but not gamers. If and when we play with technology, I prefer this R&D chart. The Anniversary/Global chart and dice costs can definately thow the balance of the game off. Last game I played of global 1940, theAmerican player shelled out alot of IPC’s on tech. It put his production behind and the other allied player had to really hold on for the US to catch up but the US player was able to develop long range heavy bombers and cheaper ships. It was devostating to the the axis player (me) because he then went dark skies on the axis and it became a war of attrition that I could not repulse effectively. I have to take this moment to say I love Narvik. Direct and to the point. Tech is fun sometimes but there is alot to just playing the game.
Detailed Drawing of Global Map & Global Map with Alpha Plus Setup

I have made, (months ago) detailed Bit Map images of global, and another one showing the setup, currently updated with the Alpha Plus. The only difference between my images and the board is I made east and west line up which made Canada elongated so I put in a little more detail.
If this is something people might want to download, someone can tell me what to do to place the entire 6 Meg each bit map pics on here.

Nice work.
Did you use the same factory image for both the minor and the major complexes?Also its Henry Ford. Just one “E” :-D
-
Same image except white=major gray=minor.
Thanks for the typo error, been there for a year and I never caught it. -

“Onterio” would also need to be changed to “Ontario”.

Oi Nevva 'earn of “Karaklistan” neivver.
Nor Tangansika
Though Tim Guska empties my bins.
Rio de Ono sounds a really dodgy character, likewise Alexandera.
I once drank from a Tunesian well, but there’s only one Ukrain.

I’ve never heard of the 'Onyrt Marsh. Pripet or Pripyat is a different story.
And I think it is Alexandria, not Alexandera :?
And what are those small blue silhouettes of boats in the water?
edit: duh, convoy zones of course :-D
-
Thanks for the input, I’ll make the spelling changes to the main images. I guess proof reading is not my strong suit. But, I can’t even figure out where “Onyrt” came from.

Nice work sir!
