As it says on the tin. Would shifting US tech levels from INF/ARM to NAV and say, Radar help with the early tech parity thing?

As I see it. In Morris way of playing early labs are put either at ARM or INF allowing high tech land units by '42. Obviously USN sucks techwise but because of the constant fighting, German PPs are drained away, and it doesn't matter.

'Normal' type players would need to learn a new lab purchase strategy but 'Morris' type players wouldn't get a tech parity in '42. This alone wouldn't solve the issue but as one part of the solution a good idea or just bonkers?

Actually I agree that all US armour techs should be removed.
You don't have to be Morris to have in 1942 american tanks better then german, its rather normal practice.

Please suggest the techs for each area so we can vote. Write
1. Blitzkrieg tech
a. Blitzkrieg 1 (as before)
b. Blitzkrieg 0

And so on for the other techs.

OK, I came up with these initial ideas. Grouped rather than tech by tech vote. Choose one.


1. 'Balanced' -option

Artillery 0 (-1 level to current)
Anti Tank Guns 0 (-1)
Blitzkrieg 0 (-1)

Surface Ships 2 (+1)
ASW 2 (+1)
Subs 2 (+1)
Radar 2 (+1)


2. 'No bonus to initial ASW' -option

Artillery 0 (-1 level to current)
Anti Tank Guns 0 (-1)
Blitzkrieg 0 (-1)

Surface Ships 3 (+2)
Subs 2 (+1)
Radar 2 (+1)


3. 'Remove all land techs' -option

Artillery 0 (-1 level to current)
Fixed Defenses 0 (-1)
Anti Tank Guns 0 (-1)
Blitzkrieg 0 (-1)
Tank Destroyers 0 (-1)

Surface Ships 3 (+2)
ASW 1 (+1)
Subs 3 (+2)
Radar 3 (+2)
