Its gonna be a tough on to come back from for the axis.
Thanks for another good game. well played.
Looking forward to meeting you in person in a month:)

I think your play has improved tremendesly the last couple of games! You gave me a real good fight :evil:

Thanks for getting back to me on this. I’ll post on there. Maybe someone there could also look at implementing a similar change to the other map which also has this optional rule. :-)

Don’t you put up a good fight. :-)

OK, I accept your surrender. Let me know if you would like some suggestions for future games with others.

Good game! I hope you learned a thing or two from our matches  :-)

I have a good amount of experience and understand Triple A(and its fallacies) and G40 2E rules well. I also love doing non-A&A variants. PM if you’d like

Yep.  IF a tech roll results in a development AND it is the right thing for a country, it can be a game changer.  But it can also result in nothing or a tech that doesn’t really help.

In summary, $$ could be spent on a ?? benefit.  Once players start to advance in skill, most will spend their IPCs on units because $$ spent on units can have a calculated benefit of XX.

It is simply a matter of taking a known result from buying units over a variable outcome from developing tech.
