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.
A practical numbers question
-
I haven’t come across anything that specifies the total number of units available to each nation in G40. If I understand correctly, limits on numbers in earlier games were purposeful - you could only deploy so many stacks of fighters or tanks or whatever.
So are there limits?
I’m specifically wondering about how many tactical bombers a nation can have. I’m putting together French forces and I can see how many infantry, tanks, fighters, etc. are available in the complements of other countries. But I have no idea how many tactical bombers to make available to the French. (Or for anyone else, for that matter).
So if there are limits, how many tactical bombers might be available?
-
@randomcat There are no limits to the number of units that can be produced in G40. If you want to buy only tac bombers, go ahead you can buy to your hearts content.
-
@randomcat I’d say the French need as many Tacs as they start with : )

@surfer Thanks so much! :)

@surfer Ahem, did someone just mention My Name??!🤪

No no no. He meant time limit. The war is only so long. Ex specially for the Frenchys.
