It might be interesting to include some mechanism that makes the staff of Russia stupid for the first few turns--negative morale and combat bonuses--or requiring the Soviets to hire all new Generals after the purges. This would give the higher ranking Soviets a penalty for the purges that happened before the war. Not sure this is doable but it might help. Also increasing research cost for the Allies (purges in Soviets Union--lack of foresight for the West)--or give Germans high bonuses for research the first few turns...
I am playing the USA in this game and I think the automatic increase in production without me spending a "dime" is not accurate. I can see it being out of my control before the war engulfs the USA but afterwards I can see production advances costing me PP. I can see fast production increases until I reach 50% than slower and more costly increases after that...it costs more to go from 99% to 100% than 40% to 50% production in the real world.
It most of my playtests I have found the German player is able to achieve a useful advantage in technology. However the US and Russia in particular appear to be over-competitive in research. Some changes are scheduled.
The Russians do begin with a staff shortage early in the game but I will further lower Russian staff experience/morale.
Your suggestion that there should be a PP cost to the USA to increase its production during the lead up to the war is an excellent idea and something along those lines will be included in a future version.
Thank you for the suggestions.
