D.A. says no scramble
Gargantua,
We want a rematch!!! D.A. & S.A. vs Gargantua and Variance, 2nd Edit, no Grasshopper bonuses  or Tech tolkens, were working on a bid

we’re playing with tech?
very interesting.

I wasn’t expecting tech.  Should have been discussed or listed under the terms of the game.  I prefer not to play with tech option, but will go with the majority.

I forgot that G40 tech was one roll and tossed away!  so used to playing with “researcher” style.

Haha, oh well.

If you didn’t get marti’s, it’s because only 4 names are on the dice server listing.

It’s too late I already spent money on tech !  We are of course committed now .  If you don’t want it don’t buy

Let’s vote now on the tech issue before another player turn.  I say give Gargantua 5 cash to spend and edit in his build on Brit turn.  Since he didn’t get a tech, it’s easy to fix now.

Since we’re playing a global world war II game, how many of you personally know someone who was in WWII on the Axis side?  Or had a relative or someone that you knew who served in an interesting theatre of WWII?  I knew a man who served in the Kriegsmarine on a minesweeper.  He was captured by the Russians and survived years in a POW camp, before emigrating to the U.S.  I had an aunt that served as a nurse in India from 1942-1944.  I had a neighbor, who served in the Asiastic fleet, (not the Pacific fleet) on a 4-stacker DD and gunboats along the China coast shortly before we entered WWII.  And going back much further, my paternal grandfather was an assistant engineer in the Mexican navy around the turn of the prior century (1900).

i only new a man that served on the Arizona.
he has since passed.

Yeah since we didn’t discuss tech, I vote we go with Rommel’s suggestion.  Gargantua gets an additional 5 next turn to spend.

Okay, majority says NO to tech research rolls: me, Suprise Attack, and Desert Admiral.  Dawgoneit was surprised by its use, but didn’t say yes or no.  Gargantua, state what you  want to build, if anything, with your 5 rubles, so Brit can edit it into his turn.

Should be save a dollar. Upgrade the 2 art I built to tanks.

6 tanks is my fav Russian build.
