Weapons Development Information

The Essentials of Weapons Development

Weapons Development will be used in IAAPA games as in A&A 2nd edition rules with the exception that the obtained Weapons Development comes into effect immediately after the acquiring player's turn. (This includes Industrial Technology; i.e. you will not get a 'refund'). Players must inform their GM that they or their opponent has special capabilities when appropriate.

Example:
United States obtains jet power. Germany attacks Karelia where United States Jet Ftrs are located. The German player must inform the GM that Germany is attacking Jet Ftrs.

However, this is not the case in GMless, AOL HQ or IAAPA Warzone or CD-ROM games where players are allowed to make use of the technology immediately upon acquiring it.
