When can you send DAS if the enemy attacks with air units only? land units only? both?
+++++Das can be sent when the attacker is attacking you with either or both land units and planes.
If DAS work for both dogfighting and ground support then why should DAS air force retreat after attacking air force is destroyed?
+++++ This is not exact interpretation of the rule as written: DAS is allowed to stay and help its units defend untill the attacker has broken off the attack. At this point the attacker will probably retreat w/o his own air support… but if he wants he can continue.
Now finally back to where we started…technology!
If DAS is also possible if attacker do not send air units…then “ground radars” no longer remove the 1-combat-cycle response latency of DAS?
++++++well not exactly the one round thing is if the planes are adjacent and not actually in the attacked territory. This promotes disbursement of your air force and a more historically realistic strategy.

Oh no just general computing power. It is used not only for decoding but also gun fires, attack planning, etc…instead of relying on mathematicians.
++++ hmmm not sure about its relavence in this format… with details explain how it could work?
Yep that was what I mentioned too. I was only considering its effect on acquiring other technologies.

+++++ with this im really not sure its purpose.
Well it speeds up other acquiring of certain technologies.
So if you have the “powerful computer” technology, successful rolls now give you 2 boxes instead of 1 (for certain technologies).
+++++ AHHH! i didnt see that coming! thats a good idea… i would rephrase it because the word computer was not really in use at this time.

atomic bombs
surface to air missiles ( v-2/a-4)
heavy tanks
long range artillery ( rail guns)
artificial harbors (mulberry)
jet fighters
jet bombers
long range aircraft
super battleships
super subs ( electro boats)
ASW 1,2,3
efficiant factories ( underground?)
self propelled artillery
chemical weapons
naval sonar
radar
enemy code broken ( you can react to his attacks with some benifit)
guided torpedos?
lance torpedo ( used for shallow waters)
better weapons ( mp44 submachine gun?)
I would probably cut out “chemical weapons” and “better weapons”.
And I hope we could have just “ASW” not 3 levels.
+++++ ok on asw we only really need:
- something to allow the use of planes in ASW search
- something to allow fighters/divebombers ability to attack subs in asw
- something to say “your sucess roll for asw search and destroy has gone up from 2 to 3”
thats it… i was using asw 1,2,3 for simplicity.
“chemical weapons” and “better weapons” would probably be left out but i included what i thought should be at least possible and hence considered. what can you add to that list?
