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…

Do you need an airbase to be able to send up fighter interceptors on a SBR?

NO
And there is no 3 plane limit.

Does West India count as a European territory for purposes of the UK’s National Objective in the Global game?
-
Not in Global.
It is swapped with Western Canada from the Pacific map.
This means UK Pacific’s income is now 17 and Europe’s is 28. -
Does West India count as a European territory for purposes of the UK’s National Objective in the Global game?
Wittmann is right -
to clarify,
West India is a Pacific territory for ALL purposes, including the European NO.
And West Canada is likewise a Europe board territory for all purposes, including the European NO. (So Japan has a chance to snipe the NO from the UK when the USA can’t counter-attack it!) -

Gamer will fill you in when he wakes up :wink:
Was a reasonable assumption, though :-)

Mongolia
Germany attacks Spain causing all neutrals to go pro-allies. This includes Mongolian territories correct? Would this allow Russia to move land units into the Mongolian territories during non-combat movements and capture the territories?

Yes, it includes Mongolia. If the ALLIES break neutrality, Mongolia is still a strict neutral (will only go Pro-Axis if directly attacked by Russia)
So yes, Russia can take control of Mongolian territories during the noncombat phase only, as they are Pro-Allied
-
Thanks, that’s what I thought. If Japan directly attacks a Mongolian territory while it is a strict neutral, the Mongolian territories will not flip to Russian control, but they will go pro-allies along with all other strict neutrals, correct?

Correct, assuming Japan is not attacking any Russian territories bordering Mongolia at the same time.
The only time Mongolia all goes straight to the Russians is when Japan attacks Russian-controlled territory bordering Mongolia.

Can you blitz empty neutrals you at war with?
-
Yes, you can blitz any neutral that is not pro-you
(assuming no units in it, of course)

Scrambles are determined before kamikaze dice are rolled, correct? I.e. you can’t wait to see if your kamikazes hit before deciding whether or not to scramble.

Right. Scramble decisions are the very last thing in the combat movement phase, phase 2
Kamikaze decisions are at the beginning of the conduct combat phase, phase 3The confusion may come from the fact that the OOB P40 manual (1st edition) had scrambling and kamikaze decisions being made at the beginning of the conduct combat phase, but this is definitely not the case in 2nd edition
Scramble decisions at end of combat movement phase
Kamikazes at beginning of conduct combat phase -
Great. Thanks for the response, Gamer.

Hi, just wondering… I have Europe and Pacific, both 2nd edition. Are there any updates to the rulebook that i should know(including global)? If yes, is there a link wich i can constantly keep an eye on? Im kinda of lost with all those alphas and etc, dont know if they are valid to the 2nd edition.
Thanks.

The only things you need to be aware of are the FAQs for both games, which can be found on the AH FAQ page. Everything else you may come across (Alpha, etc.) refers to the first editions.
