Current 2020 Global 1940 2nd Edition Bid?

[jim010]

I have not seen a bid system where you can only place 1 unit per zone. I am only familiar with bidding to put what you want where you want as long as there is a unit of that nationality present.

That being the case, bids in my games are also $15 - $20

so biding 6 inf in yunnan is okey then?

[jim010]

all right! That allows for a much smaller allied bid then.

I’ll happily play Axis if the Allies want to put 6 inf in Yunnan

Perhaps that bid wouldn’t be very flexible - I’d be inclined to throw in 1-2 art and 1-2 USSR fighters, but in any event a bid that precludes the J1 attack on Yunnan is not great for the axis - although may not do enough. Of course, you had 30 bid and put down 10 inf in Yunnan, it would be a waste.

I think 10 inf in yunnan would be a game changer. It will be almost impossible for Japan to take India as China (with artillery) will control Burma from yunnan for many rounds.

This was the official way of bidding in the league many moons ago. But I suppose I’ll have to get used to the new bidding rules. I definitely understand why teh bids are so high with the unit placement limits.

At some point around a 60 bid, Russia can help stack Yunnan on R2 with planes+fast movers and help prevent Japan from capturing any of the British territories in Asia. With Japan hurting so badly for income, I would think that a 100% KGF strategy from USA would be adequate to prevent Germany from winning unless the Allies get diced in risky early-game battles such as a low-odds attack on Egypt. Prolonged income differences are virtually impossible to overcome in a TripleA match; almost anything is possible in live play especially with a mixture of novices and experts.

Yep - that Yunnan stack can be a pain.
