Sure, I’ll use the same bid.

@simon33 The game was undecided but I just did not like how I played, would rather save us lot of time and just end it. I have several games going most of the time but will reach out to you at a later date.

Yes, Needed a break but can go a rematch. Re-bid?

@simon33

Right, I was not a believer in leaving Normandy French, until it was forced upon me due to an extremely poor G1 round. Definitely helps Germany defend the Atlantic assault.

Had not looked at your re-balance before, but looks interesting. I’m not too experienced playing BM, but that would certainly give Germany a strong incentive to do Vichy or at least take it for the early income.

@SuperbattleshipYamato NA is fun to with it’s new mechanics.

If you haven’t tried France goes first, you might want to give it a whirl. What can France do besides attack N Italy.

retreat to S France, delaying the invasion of Moscow by one turn guaranteed. Build an aircraft carrier and land two planes on it, saving the 110 fleet or making it more costly for the German air force. turtle in Paris, purchasing 6, adding 4 from Norm, SF and a fig from London. How many more German air are needed to make that completely safe. Thereby, saving some more British navy.

Why should France go first?
1a. After Germany went into Poland, the ball was in France’s court. They actually invaded Germany and then turned around and apologized. In this scenario, they don’t apologize.
1b. There is a 50 to 60 ipc imbalance at the upper levels. So bid or this or another house rule. The disadvantage to a bid is that poor purchase/placement can only highlight one’s lack of experience, skill, etc. This is a standardized, simple fix.
2. This is part of my handicapping system. Playing against a person who is not as good as you and still want a challenge–crockett’s time machine. You could even move back another notch and let Anzac start. Or even further.

Edit to correct OOL. Couldn’t change the outcome.

@Stucifer

I considered the airstrike option. Figured the Russian attack on Finland would be costly and leave Leningrad defenseless to a take over. Plenty of time for regrets.
