2012 - AA50-41 - League Results and Standings

As to why the bid is technically illegal?Â I have no idea.Â It’s been the rule for I don’t know how long.Â

Someone else can enlighten you. I know there’s a reason - I think it’s because you could do some really crazy or cheesy things - crazier and cheesier even than your infantry to the money islands :wink:

@Gamerman01:

JWW and/or Darth - looking over the 2012 league rules on bid placement, it is not clear what is allowed or unallowed. It refers to “full bid placement” and “same as previous year leagues”. New players won’t know what the bid placement rules are, so these should probably be spelled out specifically each year in the league rules.

I believe, but could be mistaken, that this rule was carried over from the Revised league of yesteryear. I am sure there was a sound reason for it’s implementation then and carry over now but I don’t recall. Perhaps, this should be reviewed for future Leagues & Tourneys?

Yeah, it was carried over from Revised and we can review it.

I believe the reason you needed a “unit already there” was to prevent certain axis naval bids that would completely ruin the game. And in the past (with Revised) the Pac was already all Japanese and they had an inf on most of their islands so it wasn’t really an issue back then if you wanted to add to an island. Land units are not that big of deal, so perhaps the rule could just be in reference to naval placements (ie can only place ships in seazones where you already have ships).
