The bid:

 

Some people swear by the PE (power europe) bid. I used to. It can get you a quick 4 round victory or a quick 4 round loss, totally depending on the dice. I much prefer a strong african bid as it seems to rely less on early dice & establishes a strong foundation for ger funds. I usually bid 21 (4 inf,1 arm > lib, 1 inf > manch, 1 ipc > ger. The MEAT of my bid is in lib. I actually believe that can hold my own with a 17 bid

 

GERMANY:

 

Hey, all you aggessive asses out there like me...ger will likely get gangbanged. This means that you will need all the units that you can bring to defend it. I buy virtually nothing but inf with a rare arm thrown in. This is one reason the africa bid is so important with that extra cash flowing in to buy more inf. I do NOT continuously stack inf in ee! Aggressive people listen up, this is where you can unleash your aggression without being buttscrewed!! When I feel the time is right...I peel off a large amount of inf in ee & send them to ukr. Usually the allies don't dont want to fool with it because uk & us would get slaughtered. The next step is to move all them inf in ukr > cauc & bring all arm from ee also. Do not try to defend ukr at this point because you will spread yourself way too thin. Simply send 1 inf from ee. This will put the fear in the allies (assuming jap is doing it's job).

 

JAPAN:

 

In my very first online game I bought an IC in rd 1. I bought an IC in round 2. By round 3, I had the armor rolling baby!!! You would not believe how many arm that I had stuffed up my buttocks before I realized that...THIS AINT WORKING!  Flood the continent with cheap inf via transports. Inf & trn should be the order of the day early. At some point aggressive people....IC's & tanks...

 

Well thats all the wisdom I have. If you think it's BS, then I would dearly love to play you & laugh as you try to defend it!!
