Will you allow arms dealers to continue selling hi-tech even after the
start of hostilities? Cost will go up, but it opens the strategic gamble
of spending more up front to hopefully overwhelm your opponents quickly
with superior technology. If the strategy works out, expensive, limited
resupply from off-world would be acceptable limitations. This would also
make space superiority and control of starports important tactical and
strategic goals for the players.
