I was victorious. The UK’s navy was destroyed very early in the game, and my Japanese counterpart did very well. Moscow was taken!!!
German Factory Placement

I don’t understand the 50/50 Unit/Cash bid. All that does is basically double the bids, instead of 7 IPC you’re bidding 14 or 15 IPC so you can still get 7 IPCs in units on the board.
THe 1 per territory bid I’d never heard before.
The full placement is the only bid I like. I’ll play the 50/50 and I think if I had to play a 1 per territory caveat on that I’d bit 108 IPCs so I can just rail against Europe without contest. :)

50/50 is designed to slow the bid.
The thought is that a bid to even out the game is more fair is spread over 2 rounds instead of in a single round. With th single round bid, and no restriction on units per territory, you allow for significant deviation from standard strats… Ukraine becaomes a tough nut to crack with 3 extra INF. Med Fleet HAS to stay in the Med if you want Egypt on G1.
Basically, it preserves core strats.

I don’t see it conserving anything, I only see double the bid. /shrug.
In a 50/50 bid no one’s bidding 6-8 IPCs anymore, it’s all closer to 12-16 now.

Nope, still 7-9. You just play it differently.
You wanna take me on with a 50/50 bid and give me 11? LOL
If so, I can slip you in after I finish of Sankt :-)

I’m already on your queue.
Besides, I don’t like the 50/50 bid. On either side of the coin.
