I’m still not sure that this aspect of the tech discussion belongs here since it is more about a house rule but I mentioned how we have developed a progressive valued chart for the techs but I didn’t give the limitations of attaining the tech. A tech die is three (3) IPC’s every tern a player wants to roll for a tech. A neutral nation can roll one die only per rounf thatthey are neutral. That is three IPC’s per round. If a tech has a R&D value of 25, it may take a nation at least 5 rounds to develop that tech. That is at least 15 IPC’s in order to develop a tech. A nation that is war may invest in three dice (9IPC’s) per rounf in order to develop three different tech.'s at a time. They can not be applied to a single tech but must be spread over the three techs to be develpoed. It can get expensive but the thought process is this; a country will invest in R&D to develop a specific technology. It will not just through money at a problem and randomly hope to get a good result….governments maybe but not gamers. If and when we play with technology, I prefer this R&D chart. The Anniversary/Global chart and dice costs can definately thow the balance of the game off. Last game I played of global 1940, theAmerican player shelled out alot of IPC’s on tech. It put his production behind and the other allied player had to really hold on for the US to catch up but the US player was able to develop long range heavy bombers and cheaper ships. It was devostating to the the axis player (me) because he then went dark skies on the axis and it became a war of attrition that I could not repulse effectively. I have to take this moment to say I love Narvik. Direct and to the point. Tech is fun sometimes but there is alot to just playing the game.

This is awesome, Great work and dedication. I noticed that you listed the countries (on your set-up charts) in an order that is easy to set-up (nice). When will they be done? what is the suggested print size? will you please message me when they are done, in case I miss the completed work when finally posted.
-
Simply malicious.
-
I like it! It forces everyone to revisit the NOs at the end of each turn. With the charts and control markers, I usually know when to include one, but it’s difficult to remember to remove one. I dunno. Let’s try it out!

Though i have these finished, i felt something was missing… so i went back to the drawing board, and came up with an alternate look. check them out, and let me know which do you like best.

#2, the first one you did. The other is a little “overdone”.

@Minor:
First Batch of NO Cards available!
Paper size: 11 x 8.5 (photo glossy for best results).How do I get these cards for each power?
-
@ Variable, thanks for your suggestion :-), but I gave it some thought, and decided to go with the new layout it somehow grew on me :-P
@ Y.Grasshopper, I will upload them later today. (I would say the best option would be Photo Glossy, just printed them with Card Stock and they look less detailed or i might be going blind).
-
Use satin photo paper mounted to card stock. The glossy gets too shiny if there is any overhead lighting. The card stock will give it some weight. The only thing with photo paper is you CAN NOT GET IT WET! Maybe have the cards laminated after mounting them. That will keep moisture and finger smudges off of them.
-
Lamination is good or a hard card protector sleeve does the job as well.
-
Done!
-
@Minor:
Done!
Its guys like you that make A&A players look crazy…… I LOVE IT! Thanks for the free swag.
-
Great job man =)
Unfortunately you have to update to alhpa 3 -.-
-
there are few mistakes i think
i thought japanese NO for FIC was worth 10 ipc?
and japan recieves 5 IPC per ‘western center of control’, aka calcutta, sydney, honolulu, san francisco? -
All the mistakes found on these, will be corrected and/or updated to the Alpha 3 rules soon.
