Quick answer is that bids seem to keep going up with bids over 20 now common.
yes
just the dollar amount.

@Mill:
Does the new Russian Lend-Lease kicking in “beyond round 2” mean “starting in round 3”? Just want to be sure. :?
Much thanks to the Mod Squad and Simon! It’s truly amazing what you guys do, and the amount of fun it allows so many of us to enjoy for free. I feel very grateful! :-D
Our pleasure :-).
Yeah it’s starting on round 3 and need to be at war with Euro Axis. There are still a few bugs with the new NOs, so double check when playing.

I wondered the same thing as Mill Creek
I will edit the wording in the rules post to make it unambiguous now that we have the answer -
I was stumbling over that “BM - Combat Move first” map.
And I am wondering whats the motivation behind that change? On first impression it just seems to make the game simpler, or there more to it?
Thanks!

I did that but there was some reluctance to make it the standard move because of a few introduced bugs like needing edit mode to move planes in combat movement such that the only landing spot is a carrier to be mobilised. So both options are supported.

I wasn’t referring to technical difficulties for the engine, but meant what is the motivation to switch the original phase order? To be more specific:
Oztea 41: motivation was to provide an alternative set up with different game dynamics
BM: a more balanced / historical approach where bids of ~ +40 would not be necessary
Combat move first: "…. " ? :) -
The motivation is to avoid save/reloads. Often I’m not sure what attacks I’m making and moving the forces in reveals that an attack is or is not viable which can affect your buy. Pretty annoying to have to exit and restart to vary your buy.
-
Is a G1 DOW stoppable in BM3?
Moves I’d think about are:
- IC on Persia UK2 landing 3 fighters on Moscow UK4. Hmm, if Germany reaches Moscow G4 they’re too late!
- Blocking Vichy
- Flying Calcutta and Med planes to Moscow.
- Qld ftr can reach ANZAC3 with an unprovoked DOW on Japan.
- Buying a UK CV and using it to stage fighters to Moscow.
-
Apparently I’ve missed the boat! I had no idea that G1 was optimal now.
-
:-) Looks like a pretty big over-reaction to me
-
I’m not convinced. Even compared to OOB you’re losing 2IPC/round NO income on rounds 1&2 as USSR. You’re likely to grab the Persian Route lend lease NO plus the bonus for Japan’s DOW on USSR on Round 3 so you can invest that round 4 for a stand in Moscow round 5.
I intend to find out though.
Note:
@axis-dominion:I played like 5 league games where I did a G1 attack and I won all but the one against adam. The other opponents were E or 1 tier. I agree it is definitely less viable, but not totally impossible to win.
-
Well on a typical G1 the Russian Archangel NO is blocked, so in BM3.2 Russia does earn a bit more than in vanilla on a G1DOW.
-
Round 2&3? I guess. Or would you use a sub as Germany in SZ125 to block it round one? You might lose a plane in SZ111 if you make that trade.
-
On a G1 Germany doesn’t go for both 111 and 110. It’s safer than the traditional opening of attacking both 110 and 111.

or in my current game germany didn’t go for either of them :-)

Probably goes for 111 though.
Although it seems not always.

Against Pherman? That’s an interesting one. G1 DOW but no assault on Moscow.
-
i had 70% odds on moscow, but the avg tuv wasn’t good at all, and so it was too risky. pulled a hitler and went south for the oil fields instead :lol:
-
Sounds like the right decision
-
The turn 3 restriction on the Lend Lease to Russia doesn’t work, nor makes sense historically. It should be scrapped.
In fact, why was that changed? It basically sets up a huge incentive for a G1 attack on Russia…. Japan sits on its butt and lets Russia steam roll the USSR>

Oh come now Karl, surely you’re not saying a G1 can’t be stopped now, are you?
