Each strategic phase - the main powers are able to allocate production resources to different things. The amount of resources that your country produces depends on a number of factors (eg the British need to use a lot of supply ships to get the raw materials - the Germans may find themselves short of food that in turn affects production)
The resources can then be allocated across a wide range of things including new troops, replacement troops, naval resources, research, diplomacy, entrenchments.
So far as research is concerned - if you decide to conduct research, you get choices to put resources into different areas. You can, for example, choose to develop poison gas (which - once a certain level of research is achieved - enables gas to be allocated to artillery units that help in offensives for a limited number of times - to represent the benefit frrom gas until countermeasures are developed), improved aeroplanes, improved artillery, tanks. You can actually build armoured units - while air warfare is dealt with in an abstract way at each strategic phase.
It sounds complicated - but is in fact straight forward to carry out.
Overall the game gives you a lot of options as to how you conduct the war, but the actual game play is uncomplicated.
Regards.
