    zomg

    drinks first?


  • ur on lolol


  • @newpaintbrush:

    “but I don’t think anyone as done a lot of research and has hard numbers on it.”

    I have.

    The key bid amount depends on the ruleset you are playing.

    I could add more.  But I will wait for others to expand on my HINTY HINT HINT!

    beer!

    It would be nice if you would post some of your research into bids and the win/loss ratios of the sides and how the ruleset effects those numbers.  :-)


  • arghy.  VERY WELL, I shall post something that is of use.  But not with a lot of numbers.  Because numbers are OBVIOUSLY EVIL.

    Say you are playing OOB/FAQ.  The moment you hit 8 IPC, you can buy a Baltic transport.  The normal problem with G1 Long Range Aircraft Sea Lion is that you lose all your aircraft in the attack.  But if you bring another transport, then you can preserve two more fighters, AND with a possible Baltic buy of 1 transport, you can get a lock on London.  Owning UK and having a decent German air force makes any US offensive on Europe very difficult.  (Look at the board, and think about what happens when London is a German fighter base.)

    FIDA bid system

    what is that?  :?  :? there aint no bid like a crazy bid. classic is more fun to have crazy bids. 1 sub to sol  :lol: for revised i usally bid a 6-8.  may even bid lower if i now somes is going to bid almost nothig. 8 ipcs if i think i can get then put  a trn in the baltic.  anyone ever susccefully bid a fig? 10 ipcs.


  • The FIDA bid restricts the bid placement… only half of the IPC’s may be placed before the start of the game, the rest go into the back to be used later.

    FIDA is the way to go.

    FIDA sucks.  It just turns a 9 IPC bid into an 18 IPC bid so you can get the units you need with the added benefit of some extra cash. (BTW, FIDA stands for the clubs that organized the bid rules.  Flames of Europe; Daak, AAMC and someone else, forget who ‘I’ stands for, it’s not important.)

    As for me, I’ve seen Revised bids much closer to the 12-18 IPC mark for a standard bid (24 for FIDA bid) lately.  Probably because allied tactics are getting better and better so the axis have to work harder and harder.

    c) Naval units can be placed with other naval units or in territories adjacent to a power’s land

    This would create some interesting bids… in games where the bid was high enough
    (but with the auction bid system, I doubt there are many bids of + or - 8 or more to allow naval units)
