I won the bid, I guess this means I'll win the final as well.
This is going to be a good one!
OTOH, I wouldn't like to see equal POP in starting provs either.

Right, I see that Kor has kindly fixed the OOP-edit-glitch, so you really are off and running now, as fast or slow as either of you likes, feel free to press Ready.
I've also manually subtracted the bid-Pop from trewqh's two start-provs.
I was wondering whether to publish the two bids or not. My view had always been that I would, but somebody somewhere posted that they thought they should stay hidden. Hmm.
I've decided that the norm is to publish them after the bids are decided:
Trewqh bid 30Pop (from each of his start-provs) to start with Lt Blue/Lt Green, and Aussie Gaz bid 20Pop for the same preference. So Trewqh gets Lt Blue/Lt Green, and loses 2X30 Pop, while AG gets Orange/Violet, and loses no Pop. (You only pay Pop for successful bids).
So, in theory, it's now even, according to what the players thought were the relative advantages of the two positions.
Yep, I decided publishing was better than hiding the bids (who WAS it who objected?). Firstly, the two players are interested to know how it went; they won't care very much later, after the game is over, if I oinly publish the bids then.
But, secondly, it seems to me that it's FAIRER to publish. After all, the successful-bidder knows, from the POP-file, what start-pops the losing-bidder has, as he paid nothing (unless they bid for opposite sides, but that has to be a minority). So, IMHO, the losing-bidder should equally know what start-pops the successful-bidder has, for fairness. But mainly, it's interesting to hear how the bidding went, while it's still a fresh issue!

CONGRATS TO AUSSIE GAZ, THE FIRST DUEL-LITE CHAMPION, the only player Undefeated at Duel-Lite!
He just beat Trewqh in the Grand Final.
See in Running Games, GM Han Duel-Lite #44 Grand Final for details.
Now, what next for Duel-Lite? It's a neat game. Only two colours to command, but lots of complex strategy. It needs different strategies from Full Duel (eg see how Vortan stole a victory at Duel-Lite from a winning Saladin a while back). Only 2 colours, AND tends to be over sooner, in this case in 5 turns before one conceded ...
Shall we wait for Duke's great Full Duel tourney to be over? That might take a year .... No, I'll wait for that tourney to be well underway, and for some Standard games to get played, and then I'll create another mini-tournament at Duel-Lite, to challenge Aussie Gaz for his crown. Probably 3- 6 months from now. So, meanwhile, Duel-Lite goes into friendlies mode, just challenge each other for the odd game, no structure for a while.
Well done, AG.
