If you are playing Revised with a bid then one possibility is to add a 2nd G transport to the Med fleet instead of adding units to Libya/Algeria. It doubles the transport capacity and can make the Russian player weary on an amphibious attack on the Caucasus/Ukraine.
Like mentioned above the drawback is that additional units sent to Africa won’t be used on the Eastern front and the 2nd transport will be sunk with the rest of the fleet if the Allies decide to do so.

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.
