• I don’t understand the problem. Maybe the OP doesn’t understand the concept of what upgrading tech does? It makes your old tech useless. Otherwise why would you bother?


  • well, we don´t have a tech tree in aa games.

    there re so many interesting things to put in a techtree.

    for example, germany invented a magnetic mine to be atracted to ships and sink them. England invented then a degauss of the hull that prevented magnetic mines to be atracted by the ships metal.

    germany invented a torpedo that followed the noise of enemy ships, the allies invented a noise equipment to be pulled by the ship with a cable to cheat the torpedo.

    the USA invented a kind of a balloon that was inside the fuell tanks of figthers and other planes so that the empty space created inside the deposit by the comsumption of fuel was not filled with explosive gases. The consequence was that was much more easy to makea zero explode than a dauntless.

    usa used CO against fires in carriers that combined with O2 produced CO2. without O2 the fire could not continue burning. Japan used water that boiled with the fire and was a big mess.

    This whole discussion gave me a headache.


  • Tact Bombers are still useful even with jet fighters for a very good reason….

    They can bomb Airbases and Navalbases.  Yes, regular bombers can do that too, but you can have a dual attack on a location.  Very good for Germany.  SBR London and bomb naval and air bases at the same time.  London can’t scramble enough aircraft to defend.

    With Japan, bombing US naval and air bases from Aircraft Carriers is a HUGE deal.  If anything for Japan, it makes Strategic Bombers obsolete.


  • Tac Bombers can bomb naval and air bases in Alpha plus, not in original rules.


  • Who plays with OOB rules now?

    ‘crickets’

    Nobody


  • Alpha is changing so quick that if you start a game using Alpha, at the middle of that game Alpha has already changed.

    To play using Alpha you need to be connected to www to change the rules during the course of the game. :?

    Hey Gar, go easy on Calvin. Remember he is just a young fella!

    That’s what the leash is for…

    Don’t you keep your kids on them?  I don’t see how else parents can get their grocery shopping done, save tying them into the harness in the cart.
