Turn 2

Player Actions

Albatros (Jon)	Build, Design
Fokker (Klaus)	Research x2
Halberstadt (Mike)	Build, Research
Pfalz (Ian)	Research x2

Build and Research actions make for a pretty quiet turn.

Albatros plays a +2 technology card as part of his Design action but then rolls a miserable 1, so experimentation with the prototype is showing that what was promising design has turned out to be a turkey. Note that in this situation a player needn't actually lose Effectiveness; he just goes on producing the older, more effective design.

In the Assign Contracts phase, Pfalz remains comfortably ahead and goes first. He rolls a '3', modified to 5 for his +4 design superiority, and scores 4 contracts. However, Pfalz has only two factories, so that's all the contracts he gets.

Next there's a 3-way tie, which the dice decide go in the order: Halberstadt, Albatros, Fokker.

Halberstadt rolls '4' and gets 3 contracts.

Albatros rolls '4' also and gets 1 contract. (Why a different contract award for the same roll? Because every time a player scores contracts, the next player must roll on a less generous table.)

Fokker rolls '6' and gets 2 contracts. All eight got awarded.

It's not rare (nor unintentional) that a later contractor sometimes does better than an earlier one. But I've not seen it happen twice in one turn. Until now, anyway.

The War Status card drops German morale by 1, Allied morale by 3 (including the technological inferiority bonus), and adds four contracts.
