@Boldfresh:
i propose that we just use current league rules for placement except add the caveat of 1 unit per territory.
under that assumption, we will bid bomber + 500 ipc.
cheers
To save you some effort here is my counter offer.

i now see where our communication breakdown occurred. a simple misunderstanding on both sides that can easily be solved.
you were generous enough to allow us to open the bidding process.
we opened the bidding process with the following
we offered you the ALLIES and 1ipc.
the offer might have been confusing as i also mentioned the xdap standard moscow bomber, and offered some gamesmanship of referring to you as supreme allied commanders for the entirety of the game.
you then assumed that we would you the axisandallies.org 2013 league bidding rules.
you declined our offer, but instead of bidding in a traditional manner you used the leagues reverse bidding(i am not sure if there is such a thing as reverse bidding).
with the declining offer system you can start at 500ipc then go to 499, 498 etc.
it is much more logical to start the game asking both teams which side they want. if they both want opposite sides then no bid is needed(still using garg’s moscow bomber of course)
if we both want the axis then we can start the bid at 1ipc. we get to the acceptance phase(3ipc-7ipc) much quicker.
i had already asked gargantua if we need to use the league bidding system or any other in the main xdap thread.

gargantua’s xdap tournament does not need or use the leagues bidding rules.
the next step is for you to either accept the offer or decline the offer and increase the bid.
actually there is a third option. you can tell us that bidding is for wimps and we flip a coin to determine sides.
