Yup. And that's why you should probably hide the dice in every game that doesn't really need them.

Taking a stroll through the salted earth, I honestly have to wonder if an option to reduce the amount of salt would be to compile a reference sheet that lists when each piece of technology developed in our own world.  The GM version could have links to relevant details upon the first piece of tech of that type to determine how it would end up.  Due to a chance to explore alternate creations, it likely would have a few places where it has no true reference, but at least there would be something.

 That may work, but would probably be tedious and with little benefit.

 Oh, Zan. can you add my new weapon design game to the OP? Currently its just Funk playing, and that gets kinda slow.

If it's built up over time, then it shouldn't be too bad.

Game's been added.

Thanks.

Thought of an interesting concept.  Each nation has an NPC and a Player team.  The players would have the goals of adjusting the randomly generated wonder weapons created by the former (designs would always be on National Effort/Theoretical scale) into something more practical for mass production.

 Sounds like alot of work for the GM unless someone writes up a program to generate the fancy designs for you.

Just make a roll chart of different categories, then create something using existing tech that is extremely large (like the V3 Cannon) or advanced when compared to existing tech, causing it's component tech to add expense levels (like a tank in 1900).  Alternatively, make it a magitech setting and go completely and utterly insane with the wonder weapons.

1922 Cannala and Juraki suck comparing to 1922 florenia

They have shitty infantry weapons.  We had SMGs, light machineguns,  semi-auto rifles, 20mm autocannon, recoilless rifles. They have bolt action rifles and basic machineguns.

Their "super tank" looks only slightly better than T1 Smasher.

They have no airforce at all.

Their only advantage is a real navy.

[Kashyyk]

The fact that they have to consider navies at all is why their other equipment is worse. Even if only one in every four actions is naval, that still means the rest of their gear is 3/4 the effectiveness of ours.

 Plus, theres now the Can Shredder, which is slightly more powerful than the Florenian 20mm cannon and is on a mount designed for AA use.

Plus they started out a bit worse in terms of tech.

[Aseaheru]

 Quite a bit worse. We started out with reliable metallic cartridge firing smokeless powder using bolt action rifles and a handgun while they started out with black powder muskets. Not even musket-rifles, muskets.

So i checked out the arms race and since someone with the name of someone i care about joined a certain side i will say....GO JURAKI!

Added a fourth active game, the second on the Space Battles forum, to the OP.
