@gamerman01

Though I’m not sure how much it changes compared to the bid that just gives the cash to China and they buy a huge inf stack on Yunnan on their first turn.

Uh… I think you cracked the code. It doesn’t give Russia extra fighters, but at first blush this seems more effective. We just don’t think in terms of banking the IPCs. This seems a great example of why you should - China can place her infantry anywhere controlled at the end of the turn, so with China this… could be… a real game changer. It follows the rule of one unit per territory but breaks it by getting around it. China doesn’t have IC’s of course so it works differently.

However, the league can simply make a rule limiting the amount banked to any power.

I like that - that would be fun to play. A bid of 30 to China… 10 men right on the front line. No more cowering

Indeed, @Arthur-Bomber-Harris did put his entire Bid into the Pacific area with, as I remember, $51 being banked by China. On C1 he placed 17 infantry in China to go along with the 3 British infantry he earlier placed. It was very difficult for me to deal with and worked up to a point Luckily, for me, he made an error and I was able to capitalize on it and win the game even though it was a tough bid to counter.

Though that Bid seemed to work, since it required a) a Bid of $60 which I will never give again and b) using the entire Bid to stop Japan the detriment of not putting anything against Germany was a hindrance.

Whereas, the Yunnan Stack only costs $23. A mere pittance, and as @gamerman01 already alluded to those two Russian fighters fly home to assist in the defense of Moscow against Germany. It is a significantly better way to stop Japan.

@zlefin said in Seeking a better understanding of the bid numbers:

I’d be interested to see some of the best and/or first games with the Yunnan stack to see how they played out and to see which countermeasures were deployed, as I do wonder if a J1 dow is still feasible vs a Yunnan stack.

I tried multiple strategies against the Yunnan Stack. One of the reasons my recent games have not gone so well. In my opinion the only counter to the Yunnan Stack is NOT to do a J1 DOW. Otherwise, the Allies just gang up on a much weaker Japan. I think the proper response is to not do the J1 DOW and try and put as much pressure on China as possible before declaring war and threatening India. I tried this against @Farmboy in the 2024 playoffs and it was fairly successful. Unfortunately, I lost an 84% chance to wipe out the entire Allied Pacific Armies in Burma and that ended the game prematurely.

The Yunnan Stack allows China to gain more monies, consistently buy artillery and force any threat on India to be an all water adventure. Makes life very tough.

In my Seattle face to face gaming group we started out with no bids for G40 OOB initially and quickly determined the Axis was favored. I remember the very first Bid I took as the Allies was $6. Over time, as the Axis continued to win most games, the Bid slowly rose. We went from $9-12 to $18-20 and then into the $20s. As the Axis continued to win we went up into the $30s. It took a number of years but we eventually kept rising into the $40’s, $50s and finally all the way up to $60. In fact, I remember giving one Bid of $63 to be the Axis and lost. It was at this point we decided that $60 was a fair Bid and we played multiple games with both sides winning which seemed to acknowledge our Bidding system was accurate.

Due to Covid we had to stop playing and that is when I started playing here and I willingly gave out bids of $60 to be the Axis. I won my first 10 games and people were astounded I could win giving $60. Them JDOW did something no one had ever done before. He used the Bid to Stack Yunnan and it was devastatingly effective.

As others copied the strategy, it took losing a few additional games to get it through my stubborn head but, I have come to realize that play, the “Yunnan Stack” has forced the Bid to be reduced. The Bid is now probably around $40 to $50 depending on if you like to play the Axis or Allies.

As for reasoning, here is my two cents. It is easier for the Axis to win is they only have to win on one side of the board. I think initially, the Axis play in the Pacific was too tentative; giving the Allies much needed time to gather their forces and strength. Then COW came up with the J1 DOW which was a real game changer. It puts Japan into the game immediately and forces the Allied Player to try and balance the US forces as efficiently as possible to stop both the Germans and Japan. That is not easy to do.

The Yunnan Stack removes the J1 DOW from the game. Thus Japan is not as much of a threat as before so the Allies need less of a Bid to still win.
