The following is an alternative form of National Advantages and Technologies.
Seeing that neither the Axis or Allies developed their special weapons overnight it is very unrealistic for players to
suddenly aquire Atomic Weapons or Jet Power. So it is on a graduated scale now.
Each country must reach a development level before they aquire the technology. To progress they must first pay
$2 then roll a die that is equivelent to whichever level they are currently at. For example, if the US is currently
at a level 3 for Heavy Transports it must first pay $2 and then roll a 3 or less in order to reach level 4.
Certain countries start at a higher level than others. Germany starts at level 3 for Heavy Tanks in order to reflect
her early disposition to such technologies.
