An interesting idea, to be sure! But where will we get the new units? Thank you!

Qualifications for using the R&D Phase
1. You must be a nation at war.
2. You must be in control of your own capital (eliminates China as a nation that researches)Does everyone agree?
-
Using the R&D free dice scale
1. The research and development phase should stay where it is in the turn sequence, and the free dice scale should represent all cash on hand.
2. the research and development phase should stay where it is in the turn sequence, and the free dice scale should represent income as shown on the tracker + NOs.
3. the research and development phase should stay where it is in the turn sequence, and the free dice scale should represent income as shown on the tracker + NOs + up to $5 of cash on hand.
4. the research and development phase should be moved to second last in the turn sequence (before collect income), and the free dice scale should represent income as shown on the tracker + NOs.
5. the research and development phase should be moved to second last in the turn sequence (before collect income), and the free dice scale should represent income as shown on the tracker + NOs + up to $5 of cash on hand.
Please pick one, so we know where everybody stands.

I AGREE!

I agree on the Qualifications and I would also endorse option 5.
To be clear, I believe what is meant by “cash on hand” here is up to 5 IPCs saved from the Purchase & Repair phase; not money earned this turn. So technically tech development would be done during the Collect Income phase after convoy raids and before IPCs are collected for the current turn?
I also agree that there needs to be quite a bit of fine tuning of the actual tech dev chart, especially the naval ones and mech infantry.

You are correct, and I have modified the option to be specific.
Please…. lets not bring up the chart right now. LOL

Agreed. :wink:

1. Each additional dice will cost somewhere between $10 and $5 each

1. one
2. more than one

I vote $10 each; 1 per round.

I agree and my preferred choice is:
4. the research and development phase should be moved to second last in the turn sequence (before collect income), and the free dice scale should represent income as shown on the tracker + NOs.

We cannot have ‘free dice’ techs that are weaker than ‘pay dice’. ANZAC/Italy and other minors cannot afford dice, so they could never get the ‘cool’ techs.
Jenn this is 5+ player game!

I vote similar to Special forces. I don’t like the 5 ipc limit or the min/max of purchased dice. 10 ipcs sounds about right.

I haven’t seen anything that suggests a separate chart for free dice and one for purchased dice. I would vote against that, but lets not talk about charts yet.

So thats 2 for #4, and 2 for #5…. I wonder how Jen will swing the vote :roll:
