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.
Question regarding the capture of Paris
-
My friend and I had a our first game going today of Europe and we cant believe how awesome this game really is. But we have a few questions:
1)Does Germany get the 17 IPC from France once they take Paris (Central France)? Don’t think they do2)Can subs pass through the straits even if you don’t control Denmark, Gibraltar and Turkey?
3)If the German player has at least one sub or ship in sea zone 125, the Russians don’t get the 5ipc bonus.
Thanks in advance. Great Game!

1. As soon as Germany conquers central France, they get all 17 (or 19 in Global) of France’s IPCs, just like when any power conquers another power’s capital
2. I think they can, but I want a second opinion on this
3. If there are any axis ships (excluding transports) in SZ 125, Russia looses its NO

Subs can move through Gibraltar, but can’t move through the other two.
