Alternate Turn 1 buys…

thats a grave gamble. and as for you froodster: WHO THE HELL BIDS $36??

In my current game my Russian R1 purchase was 1Bomber, 1 Armor, 1 Infantry, save 1 dollar. As we have yet to complete the first round I don’t know how well it will work. I prefer to use air assets with Russia anyway as they land behind the lines and do not become ireplacable casualties like armor.

As far as a Russian AC I have used that before although not on round one. It was an intentional throw away purchase to get the Germans to use their air assets to attack fighters deffending at 4. While I lost a fleet I had no real use for the Germans lost most of their luftwaffe which was my goal.

It was 2 IPCs, not 2 ICs.

naturally this was an obvious typo - he just typed that we had a bid of 8 ipcs, and with 2 inf, it’s only natural that 1 ipc each would go to japan and germany.
And Jen - what are you talking about?

@Nukchebi0:

What are the traditional Turn 1 buys?

this isn’t written in stone but IN KGF
Russia: 2inf,2art,2tank
Germany: 4inf, 3art, 2trn
UK: 2 trn,4 inf
Japan: 3trn,1art save 2 ipc or 2trn and 1 ic with bid
USA: 3trn,1inf, 3 tanks sav 4

I think Jen is suggesting that might be my G1 buy.

I may as well tip my hand - I’ll be building 2 ICs, one in Algeria and one in Libya, and one sub in the baltic after moving the original baltic fleet to SZ 3. I even save $2 for G2 with that build! Or maybe just 5 subs…

tu est locco :lol:. thats funny it would probally be more worth it to transport from italy.

You’re right - I’ll put the ICs in Norway and West Russia instead.

can  you link your game here i don’t want to find it. but do except to be able to use them? RUssia should put an ic in Kar. now that would really be funny, especilaly if you put that w. russia ic in ukraine. a wall of ics. 8-) edited added last sentence.

would this bid help or hurt germany. 161 bid. one ic to each gray teritory and then 2 inf to either ukraine or libya.

161, why not get 12 Transports, 2 Aircraft Carriers, 11 Infantry?

@cyan:

it should be 131(counted germany and italy :oops:) but the reason is because you would be unstoppable with 131 or 1 tank and 42 inf in w. russia.  i was just wondering  if each german terrotory had an ic in, how would that affect the game. would it hurt germany beacuse the captured ics can be used by the allies or woud it help them beacuse the could build agnywhere they wanted.?

I dont know, if an allied player took one, I believe it could be taken back next turn, or at least the buys in that territory contained since it would be surrounded with newly placed units next turn.

Oh man, some of you guys with your wacky buys must be smoking some of the owl’s crackpipes and downing some stale heineken bruskies!

@ncscswitch:

You would not have the income to maximize productions at all 3 IC’s… EVER (unless the game was already over).

2 INF in Karelia for a cost of 21 IPC’s over 2 turns is not a good Russian buy… just buy 4 ARM in Moscow 1 turn, and send them to Karelia the next instead :-)

sending tanks into st. petsburg makes more sense but you only have to build in moscow when japan suddenly comes a tapping As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. for it is Only this, and nothing more.
