I have to say I’ve never thought of the russian fighter to Egypt because of the belief that these fighters make or break a russian defense. But what I have found is that if Russia purchases a fighter in the first round it makes the german game difficult with the right attacks on the first turn.  One russian fighter in Egypt could change the Germans minds on Africa especially if the americans come.

Depending on what Japan is going to do, and in my experience it’s focus is a land war in Asia, it is probably best for American to do a two front war.  If america can destroy the japanesse presence in the pacific, i.e. there fleet, america with a carrier, 2 fighters, bomber, tranny with inf, and a battleship can put the hurtin on the japannese.  While in the atlantic it is as simple as tranny’s being built with inf, and art or tanks and going into africa as a stagging ground.  The strategy takes time but with Russia delaying the germans and Britian building the initial strike force to hit europe the strategy works. :|
