GLOBAL 1940 2nd edition research dice

@nebnworb yea they get the bit in their mouth and they can run all over the place. Little annoying things that if they don’t react and you can support, can really be irritating. Of course they can kinda do the same thing, depending on USA strategy : )

@Saber25 said in 1940 Global: Can you place a minor production facility in a territory the same turn you capture it?:

The US has captured Norway, and then the next turn placed a factory. Is it legal for the US to deploy ships into seazone 113, which is inside of the Danish straight? Clearly they could not pass through without holding Denmark itself, but it seems to me that there is no reason that the US could not deploy to that zone for additional pressure on Germany!

You are correct. Since the ship is being built it does not have to pass through any strait. A minor factory in Norway may build up to 3 ships per Turn in either SZ126, SZ125, SZ112 or SZ113 or any combination thereof.

Our group plays with technology but not as it is written in the rules because of the random nature of the set up.  We will pay 5 IPC’s for a development dice and we roll that one dice each turn for the technology that is desired until it is achieved or not (a 6 for development).  We figure that if a nation was to invest in technology, it would know what it was trying to develop.  I personally like the technology chart and development found in Global 1939.  The techs are available to all nations but each nation develops a particular technology at a distict point value.  For example: UK devolps radar at 8 points.  The Soviets develop radar at 22 points (for example, it may be less or more)  Each nation that chooses to develop a technology “buys” a development dice for 3 ipc’s during the purchase phase.  They will roll the dice and what ever comes up is the number of points applied to developing the technology that nation is shooting for.  It may take two, three, or more rounds to develop the technology but you keep addinf what ever you roll toward the particular technology you want.  A nation at war can develop three technologies at the same time if they choose.  3 IPS’s per dice, one dice per technology.  I know that this is more of a house rule issue but in keeping with eames57’s initial post I added the alternatives.

I know some don’t like technology and that is great, but for those who like it find the way that best serves your play style.  Have fun.

Thanks……will definitely be ordering them.

So why dont’t we got the Russian Bomber ? I sure could use it, would have given Russia more options. I dont care about the UK inf in Egypt, but no Russian Bomber makes me sad. Now I have to buy it turn 1, what a waste man

That’s great news that it is a gun free version!  :-D

You made my day!!!

I just saw the pics of all the new mech inf units, they are all gun free.  I feel bad for even doubting… :-(

Thanks for the excellent work on the charts, they’re really good. My favorite is the 2.2+ style.

@13thguardsriflediv:

Planes were mostly used to attack sz 111, 112, Yugo and France. It is why sz 110 did not get hit. The other seazones west of England and east of Canada were hit by subs. No German fighters landed in southern Italy to help against Taranto which was an oversight.

UK would have thought twice if without the cruiser and facing three fighters. But maybe not, sometimes I like dicey battles (no risk no glory).

If the U.K. pulls that carrier out of the Med. then it can join the Indian fleet to help defend the Indies and if the U.S. is building enough navy in the Pacific the allies can put a lot of pressure on Japan. Japan cannot move south unless they bring a sizeable navy which will leave the home islands open to invasion by the U.S.
