But it sounds like we should just flip a coin.

Agreed. Me & Daaras are ambivalent and you & France are Allied-favorite. I don’t feel a bid is necessary.

We can do this in true A&A League fashion and have MARTI roll a single die for us! Sending the email to me & Daaras since i have his email handy

Odd - Stu & Crockett take Axis
Even - Stu & Crockett take Allies

I got a 1, which means Odd, which means me & Crockett take Axis (sorry sir!)

@Booper Man that seems to high. I know that’s probably right but that’s high.

It’s actually not that high. 45 to 60 is the current bid amongst the top players. Thank you AndrewAAgamer. But in their protocols the bid is spent wherever they would like to. This is standardized and meant to balance the game. It is not worried about changing the course of the first turn, but delaying the Axis and adding historical elements. Which we all signed up for.

[FranceNeedsMorePower]

@crockett36 So let’s say I had an extra 60 IPC’s i could just put 20 Infantry into a single zone?

[FranceNeedsMorePower]

@crockett36 Personally I feel Global is balanced. I know that is widely not agreed upon but some say it favors the Allies and some say the Axis so I have chosen the middle. So do we a roll a dice now?

[FranceNeedsMorePower]

@crockett36 I get it we are doing a decline bid. In that case let’s not do the dice.

Can I bid without my partner or do I have to wait till we are online at the same time.

[Daaras]

@FranceNeedsMorePower The rules for bidding are you buy units and can place 1 per territory in territories you already have units in. Not just control. Same with SZ’s.

Global is hilariously unbalanced, but it really comes down to the skill of the axis player imo. A great axis player in G40 will almost never lose without a bid.

Are we doing a bid, or is this modified setup the “bid” ?

[FranceNeedsMorePower]

@Daaras I’m not quite sure I have heard both on this forum.

[Daaras]

@FranceNeedsMorePower @Stucifer @crockett36 Are we trying this with no bid then?

[Stucifer]

@Daaras Yeah I think we go with no bid and flip a coin. In this case I had MARTI roll a die and it came up with me & @crockett36 as Axis.

[crockett36]

Are you guys seeing stucifer’s posts? He rolled a one. Can you see that? We lost; you all are the Allies. I will be cheering for you to win.

[Stucifer]

@crockett36 will be playing the madman in Europe and I will be playing for the glory of the Emperor

[crockett36]

I resemble that remark!

Oh my goodness! It wasn’t just my Dad who’d say that?

Preferred order for deciding sides

1. Just agree on sides
2. “coin flip”
3. bid starting off the starting setup

[Stucifer]

@FranceNeedsMorePower @Daaras

No rush, but let us know when you’ve decided how you want to split powers. I’m going to be travelling for most of the next 6 days and likely won’t be able to post until next Wednesday evening.

[FranceNeedsMorePower]

@Stucifer @Daaras I think we should split it up like this

FranceNeedsMorePower(Myself): Russia, America, China

Daaras(My Teamate): U.K., Anzac, France

[FranceNeedsMorePower]

@Stucifer @Daaras Also I have not done play by forum yet I have just done saved files so Daaras will have to help me with that.

[Stucifer]

@FranceNeedsMorePower it’s very straitforward as long as we are all using similar version of triple-A (2.6 or 2.7)

[FranceNeedsMorePower]

@Stucifer I’m using 2.7. So we should be good to go soon? How much longer till we get started?
