@Brain:
Did you get those French and Chinese pieces?
No, without rules they’re not worth it to me. I bought the base game for about $16, and an extra 50 is too much for a nonfunctional expansion. It’s too bad this was never finished. :(
@Viracocha:
Excellent! You’re going to love your first nuke…
I don’t expect to see nukes developed. Technology doesn’t look like a very good buy in this version.
If the game lasts long enough I can see buying tech when someone is running short on conventional units, but even then there is no guarantee to actually develop nukes. Besides, I expect this game to be short with unlimited IC production everywhere and a maximum of twenty infantry per nation. Also, with AA50, AAP40 and upcoming AAE40 It’s going to be hard to get a lot games of Nova played, but I guess that’s a good problem.
I used to play Supremacy, and I certainly love nukes in war games. Maybe we’ll get lucky and somebody will roll them!
