@gamerman01
Thx. Yes Adam the way Gamer is describing is how I propose bidding here. It has been done before and I think is a good way to solve the bid process.

I expected you to insist on BM but given it means a direct loss for me in the game that you created and have 20 vs 1 games experience compared to mine, I also have to insist in Vanila. Shall we use dice to decide if it is Vanila or BM? 50% chance for each. Alternatively, could you give me a large bid for Axis in BM?

Thx guys

@oysteilo The keys of the game are in strategy in my view.

The germans were able to stack at both eastern and western borders with lots of land because they did not buy a single plane nor ship during the first dozen of rounds. They are able to do so if their purchases are consistently land but you need to look long term on that strat since the very beginning. In that balance helped a lot that the russians declared war to Japs and Japs were able to control a lot of russian economy because I did not need so many germans in Eastern Front. The long term view in the units needed in that front (large amount of mechs) was key to avoid you unifying your middle east army with the russians and fight together. I had the amount needed on due time, anticipating purchases 10 rounds.

A very relevant strat key was Spain battle. Neutrals is ussually a bad decision vs me when I am playing this strategy, because for this german play the only way I can control Gib is crossing Spain and that gives me an easy and stable way of doing it. Once I controlled it, it was a matter of time because your armies were splitted with no solution from there and I could just play increasing Bombers in between instead with the only decision to make on which side to smash and with which % to win that battle. On the other hand you could not reinforce all your fronts affected by those bombers with the same amount of money. Spain battle conclusion released a lot of my western mechs that were bought with that purpose of fighting in Spain first and after reaching Moscow fast while Bombers would both defend western and med coasts and increase Power for Sea Lion, Moscow fall and Middle East. 5 targets at the same time with 1 purchase.

Conclusion of all the statements above is if allies don’t unify armies from a certain point, they have no chance as Axis purchases are much more efficient and I was driving for that situation with more anticipation in my view.

Bombers + Gib for Germany is definitive because a lot of land is released from Rome and other coasts defense + Bombers cover 5/6 targets at the same time with 1 purchase.

Finally, americans should have fought more in eastern russia I believe, and yes, not stacking Yunnan helped Japan but also the way the russians attacked Japan and got trapped.

Hope it helps, not a lot of people share strat here.

@oysteilo Good game Sir! Strong defense. Spain battle was key I think.

Adam, I think it is turn for us in the semis. I have no chance in BM vs you. I know you prefer BM but I propose bidding in Vanila. Let me know Adam pls.
In any case (Vanila or BM), how about sending the maximum bid for allies to Gamer or any independent player secretly (the minimum bid gets allies with that bid).
Would you be up for it Gamer?

Thx

@oysteilo Many thanks Oysteilo. You were a very strong opponent. Very good game Sir!!!
