We are playing some house rules here. Battleships at 16, Cruisers at 10, and both sides get a bid and Axis gets to put their bid down last.

GL&HF!

But I don’t like low luck either. And its precisely because I think these decisions around odds are an important of the game (at least for me). And actually in this situation, a low luck game would give me more reason to scramble since I’d have certainty I would take out German air that are going to be badly needed elsewhere on the board. Its going to lead to more boring, conservative play.
