@leemorrison VF has me using 3.7 verzion
Is my 11 bid giving me the Allies?
@superbattleshipyamato also, just a heads up: fighters are not bound by rules around contested zones at all. They can move anywhere so long as they end in a territory with at least one friendly infantry. I only say this to help you make decisions on Russia’s next turn and going forward.
Here is the source: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/22276/official-answers-to-questions-by-krieghund/10
Q.
Am I allowed to use a fighter from a contested tt for an attack in a tt that didnt contained units of my power at the begining of my turn?
A.
Yes, as long as you are also attacking with infantry. Fighters are not subject to the same movement restrictions that land units are.
Fighters can always move up to two spaces, regardless of where they begin the turn. The only exception is when they begin the turn on a transport, in which case they may only be offloaded. They may never fly over neutral territories, but they may attack them along with land units.
Q.
My opponent wants to fly from a contested territory to an enemy territory to initiate a battle. I told him no unit could do that, exit a contest to start a new fight, but he wanted an official ruling for fighters.
A.
Fighters can do it. It is only land units that are prohibited from doing so.
Thank you!
Okay then.

@superbattleshipyamato posted twice, my bad
It’s all right.
By the way I’m about to play a game of Global 1940. Would you like to share some of your strategies and openers for Germany and Italy? Thank you!
I forgot to move the British from India, so I edited them accordingly.

Please answer my question above (sorry if that sounded too confrontational or that you just didn’t have time to get to it yet).
@superbattleshipyamato I don’t really know how to answer that one via this format. I’ll try. I do the “standard” opener of killing france and knocking out the UK fleets. I buy three fighters on G1 and then focus on mechs and a few armors after that. I invade Russia on turn two or three depending on if I kill Yugoslavia (R3 attack) or if I am able to retreat those same forces into Romania (R2 attack). I have Italy scramble to defend against Toronto with a German fighter as well (making three fighters). Italy focuses on protecting the eastern sea zone after that by building ships although on the first turn i build a fighter. I have them take Crete to remove the British National Objective for a good while. I almost never attack moscow with Germany. I move adjacent to the capital and then stay there without attacking and usually send units south to get all the Axis NOs in the middle east and then the allies concede.
