Everything Axis & Allies
We play with the Research & Development (aka ‘Weapons Development’) optional rule quite a bit now, most recently in Axis & Allies Global 1940. The way we play (correct?) is that if the research has failed (i.e. not rolling a ‘6’) then the research token is still alive and available to roll for again in your next turn. You don’t lose the token on failed research, and thus don’t have to buy another one to roll again next around.
Does that make any sense?
Back in World War 2, propaganda posters were huge. They attempted to compel the public to help out in the war effort no matter what their status was.
One such British propaganda poster referred to not speaking in public about details that may be useful to the Germans. “Furtive Fritz” may be lurking around and pass along that information back to the Nazis. Thus, “Furtive Fritz is always listening – Be careful what you say” was used.

There are more than a few options in our Axis & Allies clothing store, such as the following hip designs. For each, you can select from various colour combinations. Click the shirt to have customization options open in a new window.
