@crockett36 i would like the minimum number of rule changes to keep OOB still OOB. A bid was obviously necessary, and then we agreed it was dull to allow 10 inf in Paris as the starting units so required the 1 unit per territory rule.

I do think we now have enough data from the past years to estimate the “fair” bid based on Elo-adjusted win percentages. Maybe I will dig into that data and see if I can come up with a model.

@crockett36 I’m totally fine with no trophies. I do enjoy some casual play. It would be fun to actually put faces to all the forum names. I also just miss actually rolling dice. I rarely actually bust out my boards anymore. I can’t wait for the kids to be old enough to battle lol

@adam514 has previously commented that it is trivial to deal with the move of Anzac declaring war on Japan. Well sometimes it is but I now submit that it may not be so obvious.If I am planning a J2, I prepare I j1 which looks like this:

47bcbece-3773-4957-b432-e7910f0ebbdc-image.png

Note that the two coastal transports with one infantry each on them. These are there because of the move of moving British ships into the sea zone and anzac declaring war. This move is completely ridiculous. In fact, in 1939 when Britain declared war on Germany, the Australian Prime Minister at the time

Perhaps it is less true with the transport in SZ35 which might attack Java although that does see reduced options because it can’t load.

While this is all well and good, it is not good if there is a reason to not proceed with the J2 DOW, perhaps Sea Lion. Results in an unnecessary loss of momentum for Japan.

Maybe you’re going to say that it’s a G40 problem, which is true but I think it is something which could be addressed in BM.
