G40 JeffM vs Ghr2 - Bid for Allies, No Tech

[JeffM]

Ghr2, I am looking forward to a good game!

Lets get started by bidding for Allies.  Lets start high and go back and forth… high bid takes the Allied side.  Lets use standard rules on bid placement:  you can only put bid units into a territory that you control, naval units must be placed in a sea zone where you have a fleet present.

Ghr, I will let you choose, do you want to start the bidding, or do you want me to go first?

[ghr2]

So, for land units, you dont need to already have a unit present in the territory?

[ghr2]

High bid takes allied side?  Can you give me a detailed example of what you mean by that?

[JeffM]

@ghr2:

For land units, no… you don’t have to have a unit in the territory in order to place a bid unit there.

Sure, here is an example:  Say I go first with a bid of +15 Allies.  You can either let me have the allies with +15 (you take Axis), or you can counter with a lower bid.  Say you bid +12, then I counter with a bid of +9.  In this example, say you do not want to go any lower and I win the bid with Allies +9.  Basically we keep going lower till one side agrees to let the other have the Allies.

What part about that is high?

@ghr2:

The bidding for allies starts high and works lower.  Again, say I start with a bid of 15…. On your turn, you either choose to take Axis and give me the Allied bid or you counter with a lower Allied bid.  We go back and forth till one side agrees to take the Axis.

Look at this thread for an example:

I know of that bidding method, just you were saying that high bid gets allies.  That part confused me.  Anyway, start your bid.

[ghr2]

I bet I know where the wheatbear rule came from :)

[JeffM]

Ok, I’ll start with:

Allies +15

[ghr2]

14

[JeffM]

+12

[ghr2]

10

[JeffM]

+9

[ghr2]

pass

[JeffM]

Will do.  I will take the Allies with +9… bid placement will be along in a few minutes (need to get home and see the map).

[JeffM]

For the Allied bid, I will take a UK sub in SZ 98, and a UK inf in British Guiana.

We are good to go, start G1 when you are ready!  Please edit in the Allied bids on your turn.

I should have it posted sometime sunday.
