When reseaeching it say all unit get +1, should this be read as all exsisting units gets an auto upgrade? It also says reseaeched weapons must be built in major factory, so you can no longer build “normal mech” in a minor factories for the rest of the game?
Confusion about technology
-
In the rules for Global War 1936, it states on page 25 “No technology can be researched prior to July 1939”. Does this mean that no country can make any tech rolls before July 1939, or does it mean that the final stage of any technology cannot be researched before July 1939? The reason I ask is because in the game I am currently playing, my group has assumed a country can make tech rolls before July 1939, however, the technology cannot be utilized until July 1939. In my current game, America has spammed tech rolls, and now the current date is January 1940 with America having Long Range Aircraft, Heavy Bombers, and Jet Fighters, which seems extremely unbalanced. Hopefully someone could clarify this.

I understand/define ‘research’ as tech rolls. Can’t imagine otherwise.
Else you risk ending up in the situation you describe.

I also believe you can’t roll for tech until 1939.
Here is a link to a Q&A that the creators have set up, they respond petty quick. You may have to register though.
