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.
Quick question about Pacific Map
-
Is Korea touching sea zone 5?
-
On my map, yes it touches sea zone 5 we take it for how it’s drawn. I hope they didn’t miss the intersection that much
-
A better question would be weather it is supposed to, and weather people play it that way. I say it isn’t, in my games.

Is Korea touching sea zone 5?
Clearly it IS w/ about 3/16 inch worth of shoreline. I’d be arguing w/ you Little_boot over that one. :wink:
-
Per the errata available on Harrisgamedesign.com, Korea does NOT border SZ5. Whether you choose to override that ruling is a house rule and quite up to you but officially Korea does not border SZ5.
“The Map: Sea zone 5 should not be adjacent to Korea. The border between sea zones 5 and 6 should
meet at the border between Amur and Korea, leaving Amur still touching only sea zone 5 but Korea
touching only sea zone 6”http://www.wizards.com/AvalonHill/rules/AA%20Pacific%201940%20FAQ_VER1.pdf

Thanks I’ll have to run that by the group, it will change things a little. That’s too bad that they let it out without a note in the rulebook or a better review of all the components
