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.
Blocker Question
-
Can the US block Japan if there not at war?
The specific scenario is T3 And Japan has a navy and transports at the Caroline islands. The UK declared war on the Japanese on UK T2. The Japanese want to attack Kwangtung via amphibious assault, however there is a US destroyer is sea zone 21. So the question is can Japan move past the US destroyer and attack Kwangtung.
Thanks!

Assuming that Japan and the US are not at war at that point in time, Japan can indeed do that.
