12L - Botider (allies +11) vs EB (axis) game 2

@dawgoneit The Russians have really had it rough this game :(

what opening would germany use if the bid didn’t add anything to the british at all? Do people hit multiple british navy stacks? Is there any consensus on what the best opening would be there? Or is there a lot of variation in what people think would be best? Or does nobody think about it because bids so often shore up britain?
