XDAP2 - Round 1 - MethodOne Clinic vs Chaos U. Alumni Association


  • No problem; part of the confusion might stem from the fact this is the first time I’ve actually bid instead of just playing a side as is.

    I think we can have some fun with the placement, using some parts of the board that don’t normally see action, so I’m more interested in trying that out if you’re game.

    If that means you want to re-bid, let’s take it back a step and let you do that.

    Hey Round (can I call you Round?), I’m pretty new to using bids myself, actually. This will be my fifth game using them, and it’s a lot of fun getting to fudge with the Axis prior to G1  :-D

    We’re far from experts, but Odonis and I discussed and agreed that we didn’t like allowing units in territories and/or sea zones of any power and regardless of existing units. Those kinds of bids are proportionally much more powerful than standard bids and are actually not allowed by league rules:

    4b – Bidding - Bidding will be used to ensure that both players are satisfied with the side they are playing. �

    Players may negotiate bidding terms with one another, with the following default settings:

    1. Limit one bid unit in a territory or sea zone.
    2. The nation placing a unit in a territory or sea zone must have started with a unit in said territory or sea zone prior to placing the bid.
    3. In the instance there are units from more than one country in a territory or sea zone, only one nation will be permitted to place a bid unit there. � I.e. Egypt has ANZAC and British units present at start of the game, either ANZAC or England may place a bid unit in Egypt, but not both.

    I was wrong that League rules allow units in empty territories, though either way the unit’s got to match the territory owner.

    In short, at the casual level of agreement, we’d prefer League bid restrictions. I’m so hype to play a team game here against awesome opponents, and I invite y’all to try the “standard” bidding at least once before having fun with placement.

    If y’all feel strongly otherwise, pick whichever of these options you like best:

    A) Bid restrictions simply 1 unit per territory. We’d like to rebid +14

    B) League bid restrictions as quoted above. You can rebid at 19 or 17

    C) League bid restrictions as quoted above. You can stick us at 18 or 20

    I hate that we’ve got off on the wrong foot here, and I promise that I’m not usually such a bugger about technicalities and such. It’s just that Odonis and I spent some time discussing this and made an informed agreement about how we’d like to do bids, as it affects our strategy for bidding and playing.

  • '12

    wow guess i was wrong as well - i thought the league standard was to allow a bid unit to a territory even if it had none.

    apparently it was changed from 2014 rules.  brand new!


  • The more you know!


  • We bid allies at 19, under standard placement restrictions.


  • Cool beans. +18 (riposte!)

  • Any reason why non-combat move doesn’t show after combat move?  I’m unable to move AA and move into pro-Allies territory  :?


  • You mean you click through the combat phase and then the game skips to place units phase?

    Russia cannot move into NW Persia because it is not yet at war (can’t remember exactly why/how this is, just know it’s a rule). You should be able to move your AA during the non-combat phase, though. It might be that you’re attempting to move them during the combat phase?
