One reason it took so long in the first game was some of the people had never played axis and allies before so there was a lot of cross talk. Plus conversations tended to wander off instead of everyone concentrating on the game. The game was a lot more focused with the timer and players who had played at least once. I think 1.5 hours per side was a bit too few for the Allies because there's more for them to do (especially UK/ANZAC which was controlled by the same player).We did not use the tech rules. About how it played out: I played the US. I noticed that if the Axis don't move quickly and decisively enough then the US will be able to crush them with its enormous production advantage. I know it was like this in previous versions too, but it really seems noticeable in this version (or at least the group I played with who had a rather timid Germany player).</blockquote>
