NEW RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

FORTUNES OF WAR

REPLACES THE OOB RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM:
Once one side achieves a victory objective, the same side will receive a fortunes of war bonus. Fortunes of war bonuses are awarded to all powers aligned with that side, except when stated otherwise (particularly 5 & 6 on the Axis chart). Any fortunes of war bonus gained will not come into effect until the end of the game round in which it was achieved.

At the end of any given turn sequence which a victory objective was gained, the side that claimed the victory token will roll 2 dice, and using the results rolled may choose one breakthrough from their chart. Breakthrough dice rolls may never be re-rolled, therefore, if doubles are rolled, or if both dice rolled result in a breakthrough or breakthroughs already owned, then there is no breakthrough awarded for that token gained.
