[boldfresh]

the jet piece is freaking cool - first time i saw it in tripleA!

[boldfresh]

do heavy bombers look any different?

[gamerman01]

@Boldfresh:

do heavy bombers look any different?

Not much.  It has 2 little bomb icons below it - see my game with Kabloom.
If the plane design is different, it’s not much different.

Wait - the tac bombers look a LOT different when you get heavies - again, see my game with Kabloom.  Not sure why they changed tacs because they don’t get anything from heavy bombers tech

Have you seen super subs (game with Jeff)?  They’re pretty cool…

[gamerman01]

@Boldfresh:

Yeah, me too.

Speaking of freaky - jets in 1941 or 1942?!

Yeah, right!  :-D

7 dice, not 4.  Big difference.

[boldfresh]

looks like you’ve been getting your fair share of good luck in this one too love - should be a great one to watch.

[gamerman01]

@Gamerman01:

7 dice, not 4.  Big difference.

That’s the effect of tech, though…. Demoralization  :-D
Probably feels like there are jets everywhere and at any time they could have their range extended.

Just be glad it wasn’t LRA - Your fleet in 37 or 50 (forget which) would have most likely been history…

So, when are you going to start buying?

[boldfresh]

Love may have figured out by now that is was not a good idea to play you in a tech game.  you don’t believe in tech right love?

the real test is whether he will play you in a SECOND tech game…?  :lol:

[gamerman01]

@Boldfresh:

the real test is whether he will play you in a SECOND tech game…?   :lol:

I know, I can see that going both ways.
I can see him saying never again - the only way to stop the tech barrage is to play no tech, or
I can see him saying “oh, it will all even out over time, so he’ll miss most of the time in game 2 and it’s fine with me if he wastes his money”

I’m hoping for the latter  :-)
More options is always better.  Problem is, I’m the one with the guard down.  When you get lulled to sleep that the other guy won’t buy tech, then all of a sudden he spends 40 in a desperate move, gets a crucial tech, and takes a capital or 2.

Aren’t you getting enough experience to start playing tech, Bold?  Adds a whole new dimension
