Rolling 3d6:
(1, 4, 6)

If one were playing AA50 with No’s and tech, and one could start the game with every power having 1 tech for 5 IPCs, which techs would be most balanced for the game?

My thoughts are as follows:

Each power may pay 5 IPCs during their Turn 1 Tech Phase and automatically receive their choice of 1 of the 2 following techs without rolling the tech dice:  War Bonds or Improved Shipyards - I don’t feel that these techs would hurt any power and would actually help each power.

I feel that the below would be best for each power.

Germany  –  War Bonds or Improved Shipyards (If Germany wanted a Baltic Fleet, then perhaps Improved Shipyards would be better.)
Japan        –  War Bonds or Improved Shipyards (Both are okay, but Improved Shipyards is probably slightly better.)
Italy          –  War Bonds or Improved Shipyards (Both are okay, but War Bonds is probably slightly better.)

Soviets    –  War Bonds
UK          –  War Bonds or Improved Shipyards (Both are okay, but Improved Shipyards is probably slightly better.)
US            –  War Bonds or Improved Shipyards (Both are okay, but Improved Shipyards is probably slightly better.)

Well, I’ve been reading just some assorted stuff lately.  I haven’t been able to get my hands on books 4 and 5 of the Percy Jackson series yet, but I hope to sometime later this year.

What have y’all been reading lately?

@a44bigdog:

I would liked to have put more units in Asia but I better play it safe with Japan in the event that the US develops Long Range.

It doesn’t matter to me, but even with Long Range Aircraft, since my New Guniea air force can’t attack Japan, I don’t see any way that I would attack Japan, even if you placed 1-2 of those land units in Kia, but, then again, maybe you’re just more cautious than I am.

On the US turn, I captured Iwo, but never changed it on the map, so I just updated it.
