I believe the wording is "failed to play an option". Germany got one so no bonus bid points. Trying for two options is really just a "roll of the dice" to see if the major power gets both. Germany knew it was chancy but opted to anyway. She is feeling like the clock is starting to go against her at this point.
@@TheBunker-hj5rp Fair enough, although even if Germany succeeded in playing an option they did also fail to play an option (that they had paid for), so I'd say the actual ruling for this edge case would have to be called by the local judge. But your call is that one and it's respectable enough.
Just a thought - Germany paid (by getting their bid halved) for two actions but only got to do one, should they too get bonus bid points?
