I’m still not sure that this aspect of the tech discussion belongs here since it is more about a house rule but I mentioned how we have developed a progressive valued chart for the techs but I didn’t give the limitations of attaining the tech. A tech die is three (3) IPC’s every tern a player wants to roll for a tech. A neutral nation can roll one die only per rounf thatthey are neutral. That is three IPC’s per round. If a tech has a R&D value of 25, it may take a nation at least 5 rounds to develop that tech. That is at least 15 IPC’s in order to develop a tech. A nation that is war may invest in three dice (9IPC’s) per rounf in order to develop three different tech.'s at a time. They can not be applied to a single tech but must be spread over the three techs to be develpoed. It can get expensive but the thought process is this; a country will invest in R&D to develop a specific technology. It will not just through money at a problem and randomly hope to get a good result….governments maybe but not gamers. If and when we play with technology, I prefer this R&D chart. The Anniversary/Global chart and dice costs can definately thow the balance of the game off. Last game I played of global 1940, theAmerican player shelled out alot of IPC’s on tech. It put his production behind and the other allied player had to really hold on for the US to catch up but the US player was able to develop long range heavy bombers and cheaper ships. It was devostating to the the axis player (me) because he then went dark skies on the axis and it became a war of attrition that I could not repulse effectively. I have to take this moment to say I love Narvik. Direct and to the point. Tech is fun sometimes but there is alot to just playing the game.

Maritimes should be worth 0, BC should be worth 2, AB/SK/MN should be worth 2, Quebec should be worth 3 and Ontario should be worth 3.
Your cool.

It shows that the fact the Americans haven’t heard of Nova Scotia doesn’t mean it’s not important

Looks like most of the Canadians here have no clue what Calvin is talking about whenever he says anything… :roll:
-
Clearly these 2 Canadians are younger and argue over small irrelevant topics. We as Canadians are finally recognised on the board, it doesn’t matter how largely we are represented, just that we are there at all. Be grateful. :wink:

Did this thread just went off topic straight from post # 2?
Thankns topic starter, I will defi use that image as reference aswell.
-
the position of it with a naval base shows the historical importance of Halifax, Nova Scotia and its distance in relation to Europe.
I have met plenty of old timers who sailed in supply convoys from that port during the war. It may happen in the game as well.
-
Thanks for the recognition Woodstock and I’m glad to see the thread get back on topic. I have another thread about Canada “Nova Scotia to Quebec via US?” I made it after I noticed that you could not go form one Canadian territory to the other without going though Eastern US; it didn’t seem right. Krieghund is still looking into this.
I bring this up because after looking at the combined East/West Map it has me asking another question about boarders. Dose anyone know if Central United State was intended to boarder Alberta on the Western tip of Lake Superior? I would think it doesn’t, but it could go either way. Anyone know? Kreighund?

No, it doesn’t.

Why is Quebec nor “real Canada”? The first settlement of Canada was by the French in Quebec
Technically, L’Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland would be the first settlement. It dates from around 1000 CE/AD and was a Norse settlement.
After that there was the Sieur des Mons / Samuel de Champlain expedition that first settled on St. Croix Island in 1604 (on the St. Croix River which forms part of the border between present day Maine and New Brunswick). The next year (1605), they settled at Port Royal in Nova Scotia. It wasn’t until 1608 that Quebec City was founded which is regarded as the first “permanent” settlement.
Of course, there is some argument that St. John’s in Newfoundland was discovered by John Cabot in 1497. though it only held City status as of about 1620 (which would be after Quebec City and Cuper’s Cove / Cupids (1610) also in Newfoundland.
(And, of course, that doesn’t count Native American settlements)
In A&A related news - can’t wait for Europe 1940 to come out so I can get a Global game going. :D
Also, both Halifax (Nova Scotia) and St. John’s (Newfoundland) were staging points for convoys headed to England in the Second World War.

I thought the vikings were like pirates. They just destroyed the land and took the booty and go.
