@freh dammit I was trying to reply, not start a new topic. Mods, can you delete this? Thx

@dawgoneit yeah this one was tough - you had some early moves and the dice go against you. Even that last Iraq battle, you should have done way more damage and taken out some German air.

@axis-dominion said in Submarine-related Issues with TripleA: @freh said in Submarine-related Issues with TripleA: @axis-dominion So it seems the problems are in games when one player is using 2.2.20365 or earlier, and another player is using 2.2.20790 or later. If all players are using the most up to date version, the problem doesn’t occur. To me, that’s the solution. Nope. Ksmckay and I were using the same latest version and ran into it big time. Can you reproduce that?

Hi, I’m looking for a game of BM3, bid, dice, no tech. Let me know if you’re interested

@freh said in Bids for allies - 60???: Wow, I’ve been away from the game so things must have shifted and strategy must be evovling. I just can’t imagine losing with the opportunity to put $60 worth of allied units before the game starts. Are there any patterns to bids? Does it get concentrated in one nation (defending UK against initial German attacks, or giving Russia some more offensive bite) or is it spread out? As I said my gaming group in Seattle has gone up to $60. I am not sure that is true for the general community. The placement of the Bid depends on the Player. Sometimes it all goes in Russia, sometimes it all goes to UK Europe. Personally I think that is six of one half a dozen of another. Bid units in Russia protect Moscow so the Allies do not need to help Russia defend their capital. Bid units for UK Europe assist UK in defense of London and in taking out the Italians much faster which allows them to assist Russia either with direct unit intervention for the defense of Moscow or intense pressure on the Atlantic Wall. The end result is basically the same. Either the UK is strong and gets help to Russia fast or the UK is weak and struggles but never has to send help to Russia because Russia is strong. Personally I like a 50-50 balance between UK Europe and Russia. Best of both worlds. One constant is that normally at least 80% up to all 100% goes on the Europe side of the board versus the Pacific side of the board.
