Hey, I don`t know if this is bug but i found bulletin which gives 10% faster guard rifles, penals and shocktroopers recruitment. Would not be anything weird about this if guard rifles and shocktroopers were not an off map.

In alpha, these were units that were built from your T1 building that replaced the Penal Batallion. So this bulletin must be a holdover from that.

The call-ins recharge faster, so you can spam shock troops faster!

Oh so it reduces it`s cooldown by 10%? Hm, that sounds good.

It sound good in theory, but if it takes 45 seconds to produce a unit, it will now take...40. Not a game changer if you produce a single unit. If it were SC2 or AOK, then sure, but here, the bulletings don't really affect (unless some of the advanced ones were stackable).

Not to completely shat all over your idea, but... </pants>
Reducing call-in time doesn't help at all unless you are massively floating resources. At 480MP a pop you would need to have almost 900MP in the bank for it to be possible to call in a second thing as soon as the cooldown expired. I would recommend picking cards that don't rely on poor resource management but that will help support your game style.
Well, my job here is done. <pants>

My last post was not about that specific bulletin. It was just answer to Combatmuffin. I know that bulletin is crap.It sounds good only for few first seconds.

No single bulletin will impact your gameplay performance. AT ALL. It might one day give you that extra 2% to kill one dude faster, but it won't give you a winning formula. Ever. Not with those percentages.
I've seen the "Ultimate" Bulletins, which merge the benefits from two bulletins into one (freeing up a slot). Even if you could stack these, with the original ones to stack say, a 4% damage with another 4% damage, it is still very small.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Smart positioning, strategic thinking and situational awareness of the battlefield will get you victories more often than any bulletin or APM possible right now.

I really wonder my Gren +4% damage does anything or what

Also there is a Bulletin that decreases the cost of the penetrating ammo for German MGs by 2%. This is 0,3 and therefor 0...
I play mostly 1v1 and my post are with 1v1 in mind.

I think they went overboard with the Bulletins. I still insist that bulletins should have very good values that DO affect the way you play, but for every advantage, you should get a disadvantage.
So maybe infantry can do 20% more damage, but but takes 1.5 more population (and thus upkeep).Maybe MG's come at vet 1, but take 50% more time to set up, and reload than usual.
Heck, you can even go for big game changers: conscripts get smoke grenades, instead of AT grenades. Grenadiers lose fausts but gain the ability to plant mines.
Stuff like that...

^That is a good Idea. If everything has a disatvantage its about CUSOMIZATION. Everyone plays diffrent then. But if they give only advantages you will be very soon forced to take for example the Cons/Gren one, because they could win you every single inf engagement.
Another option to achive this would be, that you could take 1 Bulletin for 1 Unittype. That way you dont need to sacrife power elsewhere because you need strong cons/Grens.
