@HammerTime Good for an BM throw me a bid if you would like to start.
-
@GeneralDisarray I am very new to bids…Im a very good BBR player…wanting to learn these games…Please tell me where I should start on a fair BM bid…tha ks buddy
-
Also, Im on triplea version 2.6…is that what you are on?
-

The last 100 BM4 games have almost exactly 50% Axis wins.
Bids in that timeframe hovered around +20 for Allies.Since you are a new player, my assumption would be that an Allied bid of slightly over 20 would be fair if you are Allies or slightly below 20 if you are Axis
-
I have an opponent that is stuck on the bid, i get it its a hard decision when starting out. I remembered someone had a bid tracker to show where most players place their bids is there any chance someone can share that here.
-
@GeneralDisarray
OOB or BM or PTV? -
@mainah Bm
-
Told them to look at my past games as well to help, but want the to see what most players usually throw there bid at.
-
@GeneralDisarray
I dont recall a tracker for BM, only OOB.Common ones that I have seen are
Fig Scotland
SS in 91, 98, rarely 111
Inf, Art, tanks, mech in sudan, egypt or Alexandria
TT in 71 is uncommon, but not rare
Inf in Yunan,
Arts in Buryatia, Sakha, Amur
An extra TT in 62 or 63A newer one is a Inf in Yunan, Fig in moscow to stack in yunan R1. I am becoming partial to this one myself.
Whats the bid value?
-
Forgot about Marine in India or Eastern US
-
Now that I write that, and am thinking about it, a marine in Egypt for Gibastion wouldn’t be horrible. Never seen it though
-
In BM, can a bid be a facility like in PTV? Thanks all
-
bid units include facilities
-
@HammerTime Yes, bid rules are same for all versions, facilities are allowed
Note that if the players agree, almost anything is allowed
-
Ok, thanks for the help guys
-
@GeneralDisarray these statistics were done by Feltmarskal. Look at his posts - I can’t share it from my mobile phone.
-
Here it is:

-
Please also note that it was confirmed in 2023 that the bid can also be spent on infrastructure such as a minor factory in Egypt. And for China you can only invest bid money into infantry men.
-
Does anyone have the bid math for PTV?
-
@Martin That. is. awesome.
Didn’t know anybody tracked that.
