Our group has had this discussion many times. It seems unrealistic that a country would develop something that is not useful. In one of our games Russia bought a non-disposable tech dice and actually rolled a 6 then rolled on the chart and got “War Bonds” which was cool for them but if you look at the list there are very few that Russia can benefit from. Mostly depends if they are on the offensive. If they are on the defensive then only “War Bonds” and “Increased Factory Production” seem to be worthwhile. “Radar” would also be good but its on a separate chart with tech that would not benefit them. Most would say that Russia should not even consider rolling on tech and I tend to agree unless they are on the offensive and have a massive economy.
US income question alpha 3
-
When the us declares war does she just get her 20 extra for no’s or does she also get the value of the western US to increase to 50. Essentially does the US enter the war making 72 or 112?
-
The $50 icon printed on the western US territory no longer has meaning in the Alpha modifications. At the end of the turn in which America declares war, they will earn the total sum of original income, new income, and National objectives (usually comes to $70, or $77 if they still control the Phillipenes).
