cts17…you are correct. You can only build three things from Brazil. My bad. Still you could have 2 inf and 1 tank or 2 tanks and one inf. My point was after the IC was established and production began on turn 2 the African continent is pretty much under control if you tie up or destroy the Italian navy by turn 3 or 4. In my opinion the only real threat to Africa is Japan but by that time the Allies (if played right) should have Italy and Germany to the point of surrender.

RE: Bids
I believe I get it now. When we played the original A&A we would give the Germans a tank to place in Libya and the Japanese a sub to place in th Sea of Japan. So if I am understanding this correctly, we would have in essence made a bid of 13 (since the sub was 8 and the tank was 5).

RE: Bids
How is it determined who gets the bid and what the value of the bid is worth?
Can either the Allies or the Axis be awarded the bid? -
RE: Dealing With the Italian Fleet and Securing Africa
While not having logged many Anniversary Edition games as of yet (about 7-8), I like the idea of using the U.S. to build an IC in Brazil on turn 1 and sending the destroyer and transport there as well. Upon T2 build 1 more transport in Brazil and you have 2 inf & 2 armor landing in Fre Eq Afr or Belg Congo from that point forward. That should be enough ground support to clean up Africa. At the same time buy bombers and additional naval units for a massive invasion force for either France, NW Europe or Morocco-Algeria. Use the bombers and fighters you have to attack the Italian/German navy then proceed with the invasion. My group is playing again this weekend (Sat 5-22) and I hope to draw the US so I can test this theory. Obviously this is a KIF strategy.

RE: Bids
I have been playing A&A for about 25 years now but have never even heard od “bids”, could someone explain what they are and how they are used?
