Our gaming group has come to the conclusion that some bid is needed to balance the game for the Allies. In reading through the posts it seems to me that the general consensus is that the Allies need a bid of about 9-12.
My questions are:
Is a bid of 9-12 the current and reasonable amount? As we will not want to bid for a particular side, we will set a certain bid point for each game and then let people choose which side they want to be as some Players enjoy playing particular Powers. So what is a fair bid?My group usually goes 10-15, some where in the ball park of 8 to 14 is what everyone does.
Is this bid added as starting income to be spent on Turn 1?What Siparo said.
Is this bid added as units and money such as the Revised FIDA bid?Never played revised, and what is FIDA? Another government agency?
Is this bid added as units on the board with remainders as starting money?Siparo doesn’t do it, but my group allows it.
For any units placed on the board are there any restrictions? For example:
a) Must have a unit already in the territory / sea zone?
b) May not place more than X number of units?My group has 3 rules:
1. Must be one unit per territory/seazone.
2. Can only be placed in a territory/seazone where you already have units occupying it.
3. Can only be a unit that power has access to (china can be inf and art only).I would appreciate your kind thoughts and comments. Thank you…

Is that in the rulebook? I’m only asking because I’m playing a game and my opponent has two minor ic’s in Egypt…the Triple A game engine allows that.

You’re too fast - I edited my post. It’s under “Industrial Complexes” and is crystal clear.
“Only one industrial complex can be placed in a territory.”

Thanks…I’ll have to square things out with him.

Yeah. If one of you has a rulebook, it will be easy. If you don’t, give me your e-mail address and I’ll e-mail you the applicable page.
-
Yes, limit 1 IC per territory.
See “Industrial Complexes” in the rulebookI’m seeing no such prohibition for air bases or naval bases, though…Â
Krieghund?? Can you build redundant bases to help prevent the enemy from disabling all your bases? :roll:
Europe Rulebook, page 23:
You can’t have more than one facility of the same type (industrial complex, air base, or naval base) per territory.

I see it there! Thanks!
Was only looking in the unit profiles where it says you can’t have multiple IC’s, but remains silent on bases…. -
Gamer + Krieg,
Say you are conducting an amphib assault in a sea zone that only contains an enemy transport. Is it legal to attack the transport with a plane while also conducting shore bombardment with a bb? Can you do both or is it just one or the other?
I feel like this already came up in the AA50 faq but I don’t remember what the answer was lol.
-
Right, yes it did - no problem -
You can not attack a transport and also bombard from that sea zone.

Does the movement restrictions for America in the Atlantic prevent ships from San Fransisco moving through the Panama Canal when not at war?

@Young:

No. As long as the ships on the Europe boards are adjacent to USA territory or in that one allowed zone in the middle of the Atlantic (forget the number)
Also, ships from EUS could go through the Panama and into the Pacific.

Thanks

Japan is attacking an ANZAC ship in a sea zone containing American ships. It is Japan’s first attack on the Pacific Allies, can the American ships defend or do they have to wait to declare war? In game… Need answer quick.

If Japan did not declare war on the USA, then the American ships do NOT defend, but must wait until USA declares war.
The ANZAC ship is on its own.

Planes still can’t fly over neutrals right? By neutrals i mean true, pro-allied, and pro-axis.
-
they can’t fly over a neutral during combat move, unless and only if they are being used to attack that neutral. they CAN fly over a neutral they have attacked that turn during NONCOM however.

If America liberates Celebes, do they get the 3 IPC income increase.

@Young:

It’s not liberation. Liberation is when you free an Ally’s territory from enemy control and the control reverts back to your ally.
USA can take control of the Celebes (or any other Dutch territory) if they wrest it from an Axis power. They then get all the benefits from controlling the territory, including the increased income, yes.
(Once a Dutch territory is controlled by any playable power, it will never be Dutch again.)
Control can never go directly from Dutch to American. It must be controlled by an Axis power before USA can control it and get income from it (any Dutch territory) -
Ok, the US flew a fighter on to a UK carrier and the US is not at war. If Germany were to attack that carrier does that bring the US into the war or does the plane just not fight?

:-)
It was illegal to fly the US fighter on to the UK carrier.On a related note,
At sea, you can ignore the units of powers with which you are not currently at war
On land, you cannot attack a territory that contains any units of power with which you are not at war. You must declare war on that power to attack the territory at all.
