Some of them are correct, and some of them aren’t. I’ll give out more info a little at a time. Half the fun is speculation (at least for some folks), and I don’t want to ruin anyone’s fun. (I’m sure I’ll get some negative karma from some of the other folks for this, but apparently that’s the price of being me.)
Just to say that we know that your list is not 100% corret :)
I have allways said that +2 production capacity and the repair IC thing fits perfectly for 1 tech. As one tech it
makes the entire ‘land’ part of the tech tree more interesting, as I find both of them seperatly quit borring.
Now, if we are missing one tehc, I realy realy hope they have some kind of ‘heavy armor’ tech, but I actually doubt it cuz it would have been easy to remember. Kind of disapointed, cuz it should not be imposible to create a balanced ‘heavy armor’ tech. A heavy armor could be given the ability to support one infanteri.
Since Squirecam has again “spilled the beans”, I’ll give another “bonus” update.
@Flying:
It has been said that these 2 Techs are actually 1 tech together.
IC repair- (one IPC removes two points of IC damage)
Improved production- each IC may now produce two more units per turn
If that is so then we are missing 1 tech. What could it be?
Squirecam reported this in Imperious Leader’s collected information thread, but the post was deleted. I’ll confirm that these two developments are actually one. This, of course, makes perfect sense.
Now where did I put that missing tech? :evil:

Have you looked under the bed? …… Sometime my rulebooks end under it… :-D
As far as I know my two charts are correct when it comes the techs. The only uncertainties are the actual details of some of the techs, that I have put into parenthesis. That said, I wasn’t at GENCON
It seems like ages since GenCon, but I can say with near certainty that Paratroopers should be included on List A.
Thank you Herr Arnulfe, that’s the missing link! Imperious leader wrote on the “Fact sheet” thread that Improved production and IC repair are actually one tech. and now we get that sixth tech. It’s now edited in! If only we could get confirmation on what chart Rockets and Radar belong?
Well, that didn’t take long! I’ll confirm that you now have all the techs, and that Rockets and Radar need to be switched on the lists. However, the specifics on some of the individual techs are still a little off…

Well, to be correct, I did not spill anything. IL apparently already had the techs. I just told him they were together. For some strange reason, that post got deleted…
I’m geussing the ‘paratrooper’ will be extremle simple.
-Each bomber may carry one paratrooper (infanteri)
Without having the details, I’m starting to image how it is for US to have BOTH partrooper AND heavy bombers at the same time…
And WHY no heavy tanks. A tech giving tanks +1 ofensive WOULD by no means be overpowered and would have been a lot more fitting than the paratrooper. I just imagine USA taking ALL island in the pacific using only partroopers…
But i’ll give them that all land techs are atleast usefull for almost all nations for almost all situations. And that the system of getting them is far supperior to the one in revised.
Well, that didn’t take long!
I would’ve replied sooner, but I was in England on vacation.

Except that Paratroopers are in the land/production tech tree and HB in the air/naval tree.
You cannot “accidentally” get paratroopers on the way to getting HB. You can get long range air, though, which helps HB…
Paratroopers???!!
Give me a break. Terrible.
I’ll just think of a Heavy Tank teck and wipe Paratroopers from my board.

Only in the interest of maintaining a VERY quick, short, and concise reference. Each post thats added gets edited into the original format to correct and present the most current information possible.
Is it me, or does it seem kind of funny that the Paratrooper tech is in the Land tree while the Radar tech is in the Air tree? Wouldn’t it be more appropriate if they were switched?
And it also seems like Radar should have the secondary effect of allowing aircraft to detect subs without the assistance of destroyers and that the Super Subs tech would negate that effect.
Well, at last we’re almost there! :-) Just need specifics corrected on what I put in parenthesis.
History-wise, making Rockets a part of the Land chart makes sense since Germany would be more likely to get it. However, it could be argued that it is quite close to Jet technology. Why I put Radar in land techs from the start was because I thought that they needed two techs on the same chart to counter HBMBs. On the other hand, now Improved Production is a strong technology to get and could go a long way against a SBR offensive. And Germany could opt for Air/Naval techs and still be able to get Radar and protect vs. SBR, although some of the other ones on that list aren’t really of that much use for the Jerries (Shipyards, Super Subs).
Paratroopers???!!

I’ll second that.
I love the new tech system but I hate paratroopers allready before I know how they work.
Lets get a brain stroming to replace it with the lost tech ‘heavy tanks’!
I suggest simply Heavy tanks: tanks attack at 4! or defend at 4 or both.
If you want house rules post them in the House rule section.
Wizards in now starting to post techs on the following thread.
http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=1086843
They are giving one new tech every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. So far, they have confirmed that Advanced Artillery and Rockets are on the same chart, listed as chart 1. This means by Sept. 22, we will know all of the techs on the first chart. By the beginning of October, we will know all of the techs.
They are only confirming .0005% of what we already know. That place is Molasses as far as information. BY the time they post the rest of only the techs, the game would be out. What a waste of time. Reading the appointed mouthpiece regurgitate information is like listening to Lord Haw Haw report on Germany winning the war in 1944.

What we have presently is mostly speculation and a single report from individuals who played the game once at GenCon. Some of the techs have been confirmed by Krieghund. By my calculations, all of the techs will be posted and listed by chart by October 6, close of business. We have nowhere near a complete list of the National Objectives, since it was just indicated that the UK receives a 5 IPC bonus for the capture of Zero IPC pre-war Japanese Islands. I would prefer that Wizards give us more information and post a complete set of rules, but since that does not appear likely I will take whatever official information that I can get.
