@Petrucci08:
I would imagine that the Ruskis would throw the kitchen sink at Ukraine if you placed it there to take out the 2 figs… . . .
However there is probably some huge drawback i cant see :-D
1. you saw it.
2. but the horse sitting on your front porch is if you could have placed a fighter, you could have placed 10 IPC of units?!! 10 IPC preplaced is ubersecks. Why waste 10 IPC preplaced on a fighter when you could put down some precious precious infantry (strokes kitty) yes, my precious
3. also if you preplace infantry, you solve the logistic problem of getting units to the front; this applies to both Germany’s eastern front and Japan’s western front. You could always buy a 10 IPC fighter on round 1 or 2 after seeing the Allied game plan, then you could move that fighter to the front quickly.
So no. Don’t build no fighter build, you don’t need/want it. Transport, sub, or ground unit(s) is my call.
I really gotta do somethin about this horse on my front porch. he eat the flowerz.

O ya. ur probably thinkin about . . . extra fighter in Africa, hm. Thought I should elaborate on that point. If you put another German fighter in the Balkans, you preserve possibility of G1 battleship/transport/fighter attacking UK destroyer plus G1 fighter to Anglo-Egypt. So you have your safeties.
But a 10 IPC preplaced should let you at the least put an infantry in Libya and tank in Algeria (or whatever, like 3 infantry in Libya if you can); that allows you to control Anglo-Egypt with high odds and allows you the freedom of moving the Med fleet west to take Gibraltar. Even so, you could STILL transport units to Anglo-Egypt on G1, the added African reinforcements makes UK1 recapture of Anglo-Egypt difficult, allowing G2 tank blitz through Africa.
In other words, a couple of ground units lets you do everything you could do with a fighter, and more. Plus you have IPC left over.

never through me shalt thou come to harm
What’s that expression, anyways . . . horse on your front porch, something you can’t ignore . . . oh well, whatever
