[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.

Unsure if repair money counts toward money spent for tech advancement… if so, just another way rockets is by far the best tech in the game, without a close second.
