@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.

I guess there’s no reason to believe the dice would turn around for me. Lol. I was 99.5% odds to win the battle in Ukraine. I guess it was a 0.5% day.

Whew, this is a tough one. Losing Taranto and having the Med go to Italy right off the bat is going to be a really difficult proposition. Will fight on, but this may be over pretty quickly.
