Fix 1940 global with only a French bid.

I’ll be obviously French battleships in 110 or in 93 would be helpful. A French fighter in Paris that’s the obvious ones if money is not the option.

I think fortifying Paris (only if the bid is high enough obviously) to survive a German attack on turn 1 is the best move. It’s absolutely catastrophic to the Axis to Europe. It completely destroys Germany’s momentum at a critical part of the game, preventing them from making any serious attempt at beating the Soviet Union.

@SuperbattleshipYamato following the current bid rules you only get one unit in Paris!

[SuperbattleshipYamato]

@crockett36

Right. Well with those bid rule I’m inclined to agree that battleships in 110 are the best option.

[crockett36]

@SuperbattleshipYamato So how would you use your 60 ipcs for France?

[SuperbattleshipYamato]

@crockett36

Only 1 unit per territory/sea zone (which France already has at least a unit in) complicates this a lot. Yeah, probably 1 battleship in sea zone 93, 1 destroyer in sea zone 110, 1 fighter in the UK, 1 air base in Morocco, and either 1 transport in sea zone 72, or 1 infantry in Syria or Algeria and 1 mechanized infantry in French West Africa.

[crockett36]

@SuperbattleshipYamato clever to put the air base in Mor. good choices.

[crockett36]

@crockett36 You want to try playing with this restriction?

[SuperbattleshipYamato]

@crockett36

Like, try to win a game against you with this bid? I’m a bit busy now, but I’d happily do it when I’m available a few months later. I’ll bookmark this conversation.

[crockett36]

@SuperbattleshipYamato or you can be the French.

[SuperbattleshipYamato]

@crockett36

Yeah, that’s what I meant. I apologize for being unclear.
