Revised BP

Ahoj!
No good if we count it as 30$ towards new BP? Or are you over the BP limit?

It's more a matter of, "I just got an increase of 8.5 BP overnight - do I really need another one right now?"

Ahoj!
Baltikum.
The Baltikum BP is incorrect.
The Baltikum BP in the 1908 reports is 14 - I know, I helped Ledeper with them. I don't know where the figure of 15BP came about from.
And there was $144,50 paid for another BP. If multiplied by 1,5 that would be 216,75.

So Baltikum should have 21BP for the 14+half. And another 0,5BP covered by those 216,75, leaving 66,75 towards the next BP.

Rock - I'd prefer to leave old reports alone.

If I recall, there has also been the $150 = 0.5 BP is legal.

Ahoj!
I would suggest a general "Rocky versus BP boost" ruling - everybody who had some $ invested towards a new BP can multiply that $ by 1,5 - seems only fair.

Yes, the purchase of BP in "half-packs" has been condoned.

You are not the only one...

I must say I think this BP revision feels good. It gives some more posibillity to play around with odd projects, and it makes cash matter more, something I like very much. :)

I find the cash is more of a crunch with land units and infrastructure now - they cost more for a given amount of BP used. Naval units are not such a problem, and being able to pro-rate building costs over the building period means that laying down a battleship doesn't stop everything else for six months.

I agree, Rock.
For the last few halves, I've had to put virtually everything on hold to catch up and build enough battleships that I can compete with other nations my size. Now, I can build cruisers AND battleships, enabling me to build my navy up all at once rather than build one type of ship, only to have it be obsolete and need replacing as soon as I finish.

Finally, we can have a real arms race!

Italia will fire a real solvo in it in 1910 ^.^
