@farmboy it might still default to something close to what we end up. Both players have to be thinking both that they don’t want to give anything to their opponent and they want to a good position if htey end up with allies. I think that might lead to well placed but low cost units (which along with a fig or two makes the most sense in a standard bid game.

that was an 80% battle where i only killed 1/3 of your forces. thank goodness i decided against z97 (also an 80% battle) - that would have been game over right there.
