@LHoffman:
Good to hear.
Will we be made aware of these changes?
Sure, here are the changes made from our last play test…

Here is a description of the new American Progressive Advantage “Atom Bombs”:
Atom Bombs
During each combat phase, America chooses an enemy capital and may then roll 1 dice to remove income, 1 dice to damage the IC, and 1 dice to destroy units on the territory (enemy chooses which casualties to remove).
Here is a description of the German R7 pairing with the new Strategic Advantage “Dora”:
7A - Dora
Germany may bombard an enemy territory or hostile sea zone during each combat round @3 or less provided the battle contains at least 1 German unit, and is adjacent to a German controlled territory in Europe.
or
7B - V-Rockets
Germany may launch a rocket attack from each operational airbase under German control, towards an enemy facility up to 4 spaces away. Germany rolls 1 die per rocket causing that amount of damage to the targeted facility +1, provided that the attack can pass all SBR defense systems.
Here is the card image that will be used for the “Dora” Strategic Advantage:
