Our gaming group has come to the conclusion that some bid is needed to balance the game for the Allies. In reading through the posts it seems to me that the general consensus is that the Allies need a bid of about 9-12.
My questions are:
Is a bid of 9-12 the current and reasonable amount? As we will not want to bid for a particular side, we will set a certain bid point for each game and then let people choose which side they want to be as some Players enjoy playing particular Powers. So what is a fair bid?My group usually goes 10-15, some where in the ball park of 8 to 14 is what everyone does.
Is this bid added as starting income to be spent on Turn 1?What Siparo said.
Is this bid added as units and money such as the Revised FIDA bid?Never played revised, and what is FIDA? Another government agency?
Is this bid added as units on the board with remainders as starting money?Siparo doesn’t do it, but my group allows it.
For any units placed on the board are there any restrictions? For example:
a) Must have a unit already in the territory / sea zone?
b) May not place more than X number of units?My group has 3 rules:
1. Must be one unit per territory/seazone.
2. Can only be placed in a territory/seazone where you already have units occupying it.
3. Can only be a unit that power has access to (china can be inf and art only).I would appreciate your kind thoughts and comments. Thank you…

These look absolutely gorgeous, definitely going to print out and use em. Two things I noticed though compared with the Alpha +3 setup on Larry Harris’ site:
Egypt should have 2 infantry instead of 1.
Western United States need a fighter.Thanks again.

Settings:
Printer Color settings: I did these with RGB color setting, so they should print out slightly different with CMYK
Paper to Print these on: Photo Glossy, or Photo Paper. (if done with regular paper, or cardstock they’ll look awful)
Paper Size: Letter 8.5 x 11land units to those territories, as long as those territories have not been captured by Japan. Doing this is not considered a
provocative act against Japan. Once Britain and ANZAC are at war with Japan, they can take control of these territories in the
same way, or by recapturing them from Japan."still applies to french indo china and maybe add that to the UK India chart and Anzc chart?
i will go on linne at harris game design and check this rule with kreig and let you know asap.
thanks for the work…these look WAY freaken cool! and clean![/img][/img][/img][/img][/img][/img][/img][/img][/img]" />

no. the french indo china thing from the OOB rule book doesnt apply anymore. but…the 2 inf for the UK in egypt and the 1 fighter in western USA is still the latest and greatest rule set up.

Now he gets the attention he deserves ;)
Just 2 little questions:
Start-up ITa and USA: ON A+3 Larry only says:
North-Italy: …… 1 Bomber? = 1 Strategic or 1 Tactical
Same US: Central USA: 1 Bomber = 1 Strategic or 1 Tactical?
I thought both were Strategic, am I right?
