The best move would probably be to attack 96 with the French destroyer and cruiser.
This isn’t a 19 bid, it’s like a 50 bid, if you allow the French to non-com stuff. 11 more units to Paris?!

Yay, the naval retreat bug is fixed already! New version of Triple A!

You could let France have a combat and NCM, but not build anything new. Let France go first but with $0 at the start of their turn.

If France can do combat, it can try for a 60% shot on Holland or just take North Italy and kill the Italian bomber (as well as the stuff in 96).

True, but then Germany gets to take Paris so easily that they could seriously invade Russia G1 and roll into Moscow G5ish.
There are some nice aspects to letting France go first but not building anything:
- French cruiser going from z110 to z112 will mean Germany can’t sink both z110 and z111 without big air losses
- Sinking z96 makes Taranto possible without a bid sub in z98
- If Paris fighter goes to Scotland or Egypt, then Germany can take Paris with land units only and have just tanks/mechs left -
Sorry, one more:
- Paris fighter and cruiser sink z96, and the z93 destroyer goes to z104 to block subs. That way a German attack on z110 would have to be all air. -
Right - so if you let France move stuff before G1, people will make all kinds of terrible moves :-P :-D
-
Freedom to choose I guess :-)
-
Given that we already know a 19 bid isn’t enough, why not let France go hog wild? Give them a full turn. See if that does anything to balance.
-
Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. If you do that, you will find the Axis need a bid. You heard it here first :-)

Hey, to each his own and the name of the game is fun and you can do whatever your opponent agrees with,
it’s just me personally, one of the great things about this game is how Germany pounds Paris at the beginning of the game and gets 66-70 IPC’s to spend on G2. Enough players have already been burned and had their game wrecked on G1 by a dicing in Paris, I think that will get a lot worse if you’re adding ELEVEN more units to Paris before G1. Actually, I KNOW it will be a lot worse.
It’s not a 19 bid. Not even close

Hey, has anyone figured out how to edit bombing damage with TripleA? When I go to edit the “change bombing dmg” tab isn’t accessible.
For some reason the program isn’t/wasn’t adding +2 to the dmg in PBEM mode and now I have to go back and edit it.
-
Never mind, I figured it out. Just have to click on the factory and then click “change unit bombing damage”.

gamer, quick question: should we be allowed to withdraw from a naval battle if only transports remain? the latest triplea version 1809 didn’t give me the option, so i just wanted to confirm if this is correct.
-
Yes, you can retreat when you’re down to only transports
It’s when the defense is down to only AAA or transports that you are not allowed to retreat
-
ah, ok. my question was actually whether i could retreat if the defense is down to only transports, which you answered. thanks (i realize now my question wasn’t clear, but thankfully u answered both cases). so triplea is handling it correctly after all

the difference between an E tier player and a tier 1 player….E tier asks “is your Tac parked on the ITA or G CV”? Tier 1 player (myself) thinks, why does this matter, but it must matter if he is asking, then spends 15 minutes trying to find out the reason it matters and then finaly gives up, w/a headache and flips a coin and says confidently, “the G CV”… :lol:
-
Well said, and funny!
-
It probably DOESN’T matter - the tier E player is just used to always knowing, and asking if he doesn’t know as a good habit! :lol:
