G40 Tirano (X) Vs. Jonathan.Rost (L+14)

Are you not interested in just a slug fest? We can do tournament rules if you wish but I think vanilla is more fun.  Tournament ends it after what 6 rounds?

Jon, I am happy to play this out, but I think you just had a blunder that cost you the game.  You have left Germany with only 4 inf defending it.  The Americans can take denmark with transports, Britian then  moves to take Germany with 2 transports and 2 fighters.  One additional fighter will go with the destroyers to protect from a scramble in 113.  I will go ahead and move Russia in case you wish to keep playing.

We have both won as the allies with a bid of 14, I still think the allies need a bid however.  If you are down to play another we can do and lower the allied bid regardless who takes them.  I think even lowering the bid to 12would help.

I was looking for it, and you are correct,  1914 does not exist.  I just assumed that it did.  So you are interested in another match with perhaps a lower bid due to prevailing allies?

Sounds good to me.

Jon I know we didn’t specify explicitly but the way we played at Nashcon and the way we have played since is that bids can only go where there was a unit to begin with and only 1 bid unit per territory.  Otherwise nothing would stop say an American loaded transport from being bid off the coast of India.
