@Ironfish:

@Colt45:

Is the technology your guys’ form of bid? Or how did you decide on all those?

Hi Colt45, the tech was a form of a bid, we “drafted” the tech like a football draft. Alternated Allies then Axis picking a tech with Allies getting 7 total to Axis 5, each tech could only be drafted once, each nation could have any number of techs. We setup the pick slots such that I got 2 more techs than Axis did (I picked two in a row at some point). Also had 50 IPC unit bid in Allies favor. ShrimpBoatChef’s pretty tough… :)

Neat idea! Sounds fun
