Anyone here or Jensen willing to list the techs for Global? Jensen has only a few days until the game releases to get his final preview up. Anyone here want to beat him to the punch?
We have also revised the event and espionage section from what is posted after we playtested a few times. There was some imbalance and it was revised to reflect that. The events and espionage sections could be omitted if only tech section was desired.
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.
I think what I am going to do is use Bob’s chart and then make copies of the roundels to move on a separate layer on top of it all. I want it to be readable and appealing at the same time. I was just hoping there was an easier way to do it already out there.
