Our group has had this discussion many times. It seems unrealistic that a country would develop something that is not useful. In one of our games Russia bought a non-disposable tech dice and actually rolled a 6 then rolled on the chart and got “War Bonds” which was cool for them but if you look at the list there are very few that Russia can benefit from. Mostly depends if they are on the offensive. If they are on the defensive then only “War Bonds” and “Increased Factory Production” seem to be worthwhile. “Radar” would also be good but its on a separate chart with tech that would not benefit them. Most would say that Russia should not even consider rolling on tech and I tend to agree unless they are on the offensive and have a massive economy.
SZ 6 Question
-
Can Japan mobilize sea units into SZ 6 if the US has control of it? Have only played two games of global and this question can up in the last game. US had control of SZ 6, but Japan still had enough money to buy a fairly large fleet on its next turn. I was wondering if Japan could mobilize the units directly into the SZ 6 forcing the US to either attack or retreat its next turn.
Thanks in advance for any answers

Yes, it can do that. Refer to page 20 of the P40 rulebook, under restrictions on placement:
“New Sea units can enter play even in a hostile sea zone. No combat occurs because the conduct combat phase is over.”
