Why don’t you PM that to the 3 or 4 mods listed on the first post of this thread, just to be sure they see it. Hopefully they’ll take note of it and see it when setting up rules for next year. That’s a dang good idea.
-
dunno, then the game is even more unbalanced
-
nah, bid will adjust to compensate.

exactly.
This allows bids to be higher, which creates more variety in starting situations. Bids would be higher to compensate for the restriction.

@Cow:
Anyone want to play a league game with me? I will be axis, you take allies @ 15 bid, no stacking yunnan or france with 5 infantry and praying. Dice or LL.
As far as what the tournament rules should be goes: Bids should incorporate 1 unit per territory rule, otherwise bids cannot go very high as the allies can cheese a place like yunnan by adding 4-5 infantry and Russia can fly 2 air units into it (then Japan 1 cannot take yunnan!), many other cheese scenarios can occur. The point of a bid is not to cheese someone, but to make possible new attacks (tobruk, korea, etc) or smooth out defenses for places like london, egypt, etc… not to make “blowouts” or “fortresses”
Cow said the same thing.
15 bid is huge if you can stick 5 infantry to a single territory like Yunnan. If you can only do 1 unit per territory, bids can be higher and you won’t have to worry about so much cheese -
Wouldn’t me MUCH higher, though. 5 infantry to 5 different places (15 bid), for example, is still huge.
-
The best part is that it would have less impact on changing the nature of the game. Don’t get me wrong a ftr, or a batt in a region can effect balance enough!

How do I edit the title of my game to change it to a League game (mine vs. Eggman’s)….I’m getting my arse kicked by it.
-
I need at least 9 ipcs as the allies, otherwise, I would rather be axis.
-
Axis have a good variety of openers to pick and choose from. Even the non standard ones.

You need a moderator to do it for you. Either that, or start a new one.

Another thread made me think of this, so I’ll mention it here: I skimmed this thread to double-check, but I don’t see anything here that would prevent a player from taking anything they like as a Chinese bid- including units they can’t build, like Tanks. Since you don’t see any serious bid money going into the Pacific anyway, this clearly isn’t a huge problem, but perhaps some players feel you should limit China. It doesn’t seem unreasonable to officially limit them to units they could actually produce.

This would be problematic with TripleA because you would only be able to place infantry and artillery at the start of the game.
Fair warning to everyone. Don’t try to add/remove the Chinese fig! You won’t be able to edit it back. If you need to edit the Chinese fig use “action mode” in edit during cm or ncm phases.

Pretty sure it’s implied that you can’t put down impossible units for a bid.
Chinese artillery is permissable, though, especially because the Burma road is open at game start -

I’m sure most people would agree it’s
obvious, but I don’t see anything in writing that would prohibit it (implied or otherwise), so somebody could certainly choose to be a stickler about it if they wanted. Always better to make it explicit if it’s really going to be a rule. -
Well, Jenn’s not exactly the type to write an air-tight set of rules. Take it up with her.
-
The league rules need to be adjusted to keep up with the times. 1 unit per territory, come on.

I’d put my third to this.

Well, you could always agree with your opponent before you start bidding, and then it will be the rule for you.
