Hello folks, just a quick question. I saw that the bid was 2 subs 98. I thought there is a limit on 1 unit per territory or sz, did you guys mutually agree on something else or is multiple units in one sz ok in general? Just need to know for my further games.

Thanks and cheers,
Tobias

Normally you are correct. Please refer to my earlier comment regarding my opponent being a dirtbag.

(Actually, I don’t care and since our wives are friends I let things like this slide - you should insist that your opponents follow proper game etiquette and only place 1 unit per territory)

the 2013 league rules was

4b - Bidding - You will be bidding for the Axis.
An Auction style of bidding will be used.  Players may announce their desired bid in IPCs while trying to find an opponent.  Any player can accept the bid or attempt to negotiate the bid up or down until an agreement is reached.  The ipcs can then be spent on units.
If both players bid the same (or cannot agree on a bid) the sides are chosen by random by the bid server or a random in-house dice roll.
Standard bid placement rules apply for all bids.  (Same as previous leagues)  
Negative bids translate into bids for allied units, no units may be bid to be “removed” from the initial setup

you could place multiple units a territory.

2014 league bidding has changed slightly

4b - Bidding Bidding will be used in order that both players are satisfied with the side they are playing and the starting setup.  Players may negotiate with one another, with the following default settings:

1. Adding units to sea zones - There must already be a unit of the same power in the sea zone
2. Adding units to territories Territory must be controlled by the power placing units (e.g. UK can be added to Egypt, ANZAC cannot, French can be added to France, UK cannot)
   Players may agree prior to bidding to change these default settings for their game.

i feel the bidding rules are a little unclear for newcomers and should be reworded.

most players now like to play one unit per territory and will specify it at the beginning. however, i did not give hank13 a chance to discuss any particular bid rules so we went with standard. which hank13 succinctly pointed out as a dirtbag move.

To summarize:

“blah blah blah”…

dirtbag move.

(for the record that’s 1 page and 3 times I have called you a dirtbag)

Thanks for the explanations!

@arathorn:

We are excited!!

i am too.
we both know each others strategies.
it’s going to be like boxing my shadow

Well, I might have the guess that a player like you might have multiple strategies plus the ability to adjust and deviate ;)

There is some definite lowering of expectations here. I believe you are on a 20 game win streak against me. The one thing I have going for me is your irrational fear of your shadow (also known as sciaphobia - I googled it).
