[Stalingradski]

So the German tech token for advanced artillery just got to Japan on a Japanese bomber this turn - does that mean that on GER 16 it gets off loaded, and on JAP 16 it gets activated?

Sorry for my continued confusion - you’re much better at comprehending game mechanics than I.

[Major Major]

No this was an add on rule to keep the USA / GBR eschanges in check.  You will get the tech next turn assuming the bomber is still alive.  It needs to start the turn in your capitol.  You dont have to leave the bomber there though as the token is removed start of turn, tech takes affect at the end of turn.

[Stalingradski]

I hate to say this, but I think a perfectly good game just ended.

I don’t think in a long, evenly matched game, with close economies, one side can survive rocket barrages. My biggest issue with it is that there is no way to stop the rockets - it is inexorable and wears the other side down.

I’ll keep playing of course, but I’m pretty disappointed. It feels like a great deal of hard work, combined with whimsical dice. This might be the break in our tech rule - sharing rockets is doubly terrible and basically a game ender, and it’ll be happening in several rounds.

If it had been me that got it first, I would have felt the same about your situation.

[Major Major]

it is the equilvalent of hitting your opponents for 4-5 d6 of income a turn.  We might need to edit damage amount…

[Stalingradski]

I think a simple fix is keeping our tech rule exactly as is, but ending sharing between nations.

[Major Major]

agreed.

[Stalingradski]

This probably goes without saying, but we’ll keep everything as is for this game - I still have a shot if I get equivalent tech, soon.
