Ahhh - Thanks. I had not heard that terminology before and I assumed Afrika Corps meant getting German ground units onto German or Italian transports in the Med and moving them to North Africa.
What is the most unusual/annoying/strange allied bid

With enough spend, it is possible to reinforce Yunnan with enough force to prevent Japan from retaking it on J2: ground units in Szechwan, Kweichow, Burma, India, Caucasus, Volgorad and Mayala can all reach (25-33 bid). Add in an initial Yunnan infantry, along with two more allied planes that can all reach. Altogether, you need 48-53 bid which is often in the range of OOB bids.
It is easy to add 22-40 extra defensive points in Yunnan, making it virtually impossible for Japan to take and hold until J4 or J5.

I bid a tac for China in a recent game with @aequitas-et-veritas. It’s not allowed by default, but aev agreed with it. It’s a clear nerf and pretty useless (a fig, also belonging to some other nation, is better), but 'twas fun. :)

@Flying-Tigerz, that’s a bid in your honour. ;)

To answer the question I think a fig in Scotland, a sub in z98 and perhaps an art in Sudan would be a great bid.
-
These are all super interesting, I also think a British transport off India (take 2 of the DEI turn 1) as well as a destroyer with the Malayan BB (in case of J1, or as a later blocker) would both be good! I really like the idea of ANZAC transport in New Zealand @freh @WindowWasher
-
If I can get a 40 bid, I build 4 fighters for Russia. Huge on defense. Huge when making counter attacks.
-
@DocFav 4 seems excessive to me, even 2 could be a huge swing and still unusual. What if you threw in a SB, that way you can bomb your confiscated factories later?
-
Might have to try that. 2 fighters and a bomber for Russia. A destroyer for US in the Atlantic. Hmmmmm.
-
Only problem with it is that the bid will not come into effect until earliest turn 4. I would consider that bit of a waste.
-
@trulpen I agree as well, but could prove interesting. The planes could be used in Yunaan though.

Now that is something concrete that’s very valuable! :) Then they will come into good use already in turn 2.
Controlling Yunnan will make things hard for Japan, so it’s a good plan. The figs are also very flexible, so will be able to get back home in time were they’re most needed.

I think you cant go wrong with a Russian battleship
-
oh, what be cool on a bid of 26+, a british carrier in 110 and a french fighter on top of it.

Can’t do it. Atleast not by default. UK and z110 is not the same territory.
-
@trulpen what about subs in 98?
-

It’s possible by mutual agreement, but default says 1 unit per territory of the nations’s unit presence.
Not sure about Paris. Maybe it would be possible to put 2 figs there?
-
but 110 has british and french ships
-
Of course. You’re right! Just woke up. 😁
-
Same goes there though. Depends what the rules state, one unit per territory or nation. Think it’s the latter actually.
-
G probably still has enough to make an autokill, especially with Bismarck. Might be expensive though.
