I re-read Booper’s post. I see what he is trying to say. he isnt saying I cant spawn new units on a bid factory turn 1, he is just saying those spawned units wont help till round 2. late at night and I missed that point Booper. thanks for the advice

@Stucifer ok, thanks for that info. Im just trying to learn all the ins and outs of the game.

I see. But if the minor is placed before the game starts, can it not spawn new units turn 1? just like new bid units can be used turn 1?

I tried to look for the rule regarding bids in the rules, but was unable to find. I was wondering if bid money can also be used on complexes or is the bid money only for units? thanks

everytime I try to start a game on triplea by using forum, it keeps saying error and that user muddslinger is not registered. I have no idea why I cant start a game by forum. only by email

good luck Nikola1975. I will hopefully be better this game as I have learned the map a bit.

yeah, I think axis+3 was to low for my first game. lol…

PTV Muddslinger (X+3) vs Nikola1975 (A)

Nikola1975 allied win

I will try my best to improve greatly so I dont get embarrassed like this again. lmao

I will concede. you have decimated me on every front. the allies can really build up quick in this game. Along with alot of mistakes I have made from the start of the game and all throughout. I definitely learned alot here. Great game to you and congrats on the victory. time for me to really study this board and come up with better strats and tactics for this new map

Ive got alot to learn in this PTV map. I am getting utterly destroyed everywhere I turn. give me a bit to see if I can turn this around at all. I have definitely learned alot and know where alot of my problems are. thats the only way to learn is to get beat this badly.
