Great Game!

We need to think on and discuss a few things before next play test.

Have we made it too hard on the Allies?
Is our tech version worth the time?  Can it be streamlined?

My inital thoughts are that the techs work well and are worth the time.  The intel tokens are way clunky.  I like the thought and methodology in face to face.  Maybe online we should switch to something like, “once an ally has had had a tech for three rounds you can pay 5ipcs and gain the tech at the end of your turn.”

just some thoughts.
