First game of a mini series based on Larry Bond's "Cauldron" :

SPECIAL AUCTION
Starts : now
Ends : Friday 10 p.m. (my time - whatever it is, CET I guess)
Slot : 003 or 004
Platform : winMBT
Type of battle : Polish delay
Year : 1998
Me : Poland
You : Germany
Air Sorties : 6 each
Ammo suppliers : unlimited
FOO rule : YES

Arty : unlimited (onboard only)
Poland points : 12 000
Germany points : your bet
Map : random, large
Lenght : 30 turns
Special rule for Poland : half of MBT's and half of air (3 sorties) gear from USA (set as captured)
Vicory conditions : excel sheet
Special rule for reporting game : if Germany wins we report the game as excel sheet says.
Draw is reported as a draw.
Polish overhelming victory is reported as my minor victory.
Any other Polish victory is reported as a draw.

Player with the LOWEST bid (points for germany) gets the game.

Important : my gaming ratio is very tricky nowadays. I can play 4 turns in two days sometimes, but I can also stay silent for a week or so.

Auction starts now !!!
Take your bids !

Do I hear 1 000 ??? No ? well...what a shame...

Czerpak...your highness...:rolleyes:
OK...I will get the bidding going.

15 000 for Germany.
That seems like a decent start.

I think you should place the flags too, somewhere sensible...not let them be random.
Also...who is P1?

Good idea bro.

I'll start with a healthy bid of 100 000 pts.

Damn! Beaten by Walrus. Ok, 14500 then.

LOL ,
100 000 looked just about right to get even battle, baring in mind our skills, bro ROFLOL

P1 should be Germany as attacker, methinks. And I dont mind player1 to place flags reasonably.

Jason,
auction for next battle will be even more interesting I hope.
But that's after this game finishes.

I thought I need an edge, you being well rested and me tired of playing too much :)

Just one more thing I came up with right now : I have put a limit on minimum bid. The limit will be hidden for biders, but but anything below the limit will be not be accepted. So please dont mess around with funny bids like 100 points or something. I want a game, not a joke.

Hey folks !
nobody else ? Gee, please dont leave me with tired, mighty Vesku. I lost enough games against him in my live. I want to loose against someone else :)
This game will be fun, trust me.
I played "auction" type games before and they were cool. Lost all of them, if remember correctly, but still...

Hello Maciej,

Ok - I'll bite.. even though I don't generally don't like games in the 90's.. how about my Germans getting say... 12500??

Yeah - I know almost 1-1 odds.. but I'll give a good run-for..

:)

I have been playing a lot of MBT lately and feel up to a shot so 12,000 is mine.
