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…

@Cow:
Jen or Garg. One or the other.
It makes sense because it keeps people from intentionally not landing fighters to see what opponents do then going… “oh i forgot to land these… I will put them here.”
and that’s fine, but you know i was not trying to take advantage in this case i just accidentally clicked through.

that would be Jenn then since Garg has nothing to do with the league, let alone being a moderator. sure am happy to hear his opinion on the matter though.

Dutch New Guinea is friendly neutral and hasn’t been occupied by either Aussie or Japan. If USA moves into the territory in ncm, do they take ownership? Just trying to determine if USA can help Aussie get its NO here.
-
Absolutely Zhukov, as long as both the US and Anzac are at war with Japan.
-
i was thinking usa couldn’t claim dutch territories? they can land there but not change ownership was my understanding - at least that’s how tripleA treats suriname when usa walks in from brazil - this may be a tripleA error of course there are MANY.
-
Right, TripleA is not letting me do it. If it’s a bug, it should go high up on the bug list.
Seems like it ought to allow USA to claim it unless there is special language in the rulebook indicating that only the Dutch can claim it.
-
Zhukov, apologies, I believe I am wrong. Thanks for pointing out that Dutch territories are not Friendly Neutrals, Boldfresh.
America can only control them after they have been captured by Japan.So, no the US cannot capture them for Anzac’s NO.
Again, I am sorry. -
The Dutch have an arrangement with UK/ANZ only
ONLY UK/ANZ can take control of Dutch territories in non-combat movement. The rest of the Allies can only control originally Dutch territories if an Axis power took control at some point first.
-
Can you fly over strict neutrals during the CM phase. Ex: bombers from WG attack the cruiser in sz91. If this has already been answered I would appreciate a link. Thank you
-
You can’t fly over any neutrals that have never been attacked before.
Once a neutral is attacked by either side (or claimed, of course, in which case it is no longer neutral) then any powers at war may fly over, and friendly aircraft can land in the neutral. -
So this guy is trying to unload 2 units on Korea.
I got a sub on sz 6 and I want to defend against his 1 sub 1 transport unloading 2 guys.
Can I do it? I told him I can. He do not want to believe me.
-
I guess he is right. He can choose to ignore your sub.

Not unless you can scramble.

So you do not really need to buy a destroyer to do sea lion, as long as Italy can bomb the airbase. That is kind of weird a u boat would ignore an offloading transport.

If the transports are escorted by a warship then the u boats can be ignored.

Came in late on Cow’s argument about losing planes not landed after his turn was over, just wanted to share an article I wrote on the subject, Cheers.

Well written thanks!

If UK_Pacific lost India and West India, Could UK_Euro collect 2 IPC when taking West India back?
-
No, MagicQ. Is part of the Pacific economy and (stupidly) not interchangeable.
Would need Anzac or US to take it, so as to claim the IPCs for themselves. -
Or Russia! Like I have recently :-)
