I'm new, I'm addicted to this game, and I have questions!

Ok, so I just started playing this game last week and am pretty much addicted. So, I’m going to throw around a few basic questions and some crazy ideas that I come up with.

First question: How does this bidding thing work? Is this part of the LHTR, is it a normal rule? mostly just use it when you play online, what?

Second Question: So I was bored and was looking at the map and thinking… How could I crush those pesky Brits with the Germans. so… I thought what if on G1, germany sends every all 6 fig (I think they can all get there, no all return) 1 bmb, and then 2 tnks via trn. If I am correct you have

Germany with 6 fig, 1 bmb and 2 tnks
vs.
Britian 2inf, 1 art, 1 tnk, 2 fig, 1 bom and 1 aa.

I realize this is a little risky, in fact, if you lose, pry nuts, BUT was wondering if anyone has tried it, what people think, etc. Is there a place to properly calculate these odds?

You can only carry one tank in your transport.  An infantryman ALWAYS has to be in your boat along with something else.

You also cannot suicide your aircraft (unless you have the Kamikaze national advantage, and then only as Japan).  They MUST be able to make a legal landing after combat, or they cannot take off for combat.

Are you sure about this?

A TRN may carry any of the following:
1 INF
1 ART
1 ARM
1 AA
2 INF
1 INF, 1 ART
1 INF, 1 ARM
1 INF, 1 AA

OK that’s what I thought thanks.

I forgot about transport rules. Though more importantly I didn’t know I couldn’t “Kamikaze” my fighters. That pretty much blows my theory apart. What about this bid process though? Can someone explain that to me?

you call always carry less than the tranies compacity so one tank would be ok
