My Allied play isn’t that strong (mostly because my opponents lately have wanted Allies or accepted small bids, so I barely play them).  If you want, I can just tell you the minimum bid I’d accept to play the Allies.

I am also willing to play low luck, if that interests you.

Not a bad move, and unexpected too … the Axis are cut off from most of the new pro-Axis armies, and most that they can get are no-IPC territories.
