So I forgot that I don’t actually have a MIC in Egypt and bought units for it like a doofus. Dice in Russia don’t affect my purchase choice, so I hope it is OK that I edited out three ground for a fighter in UK. You have the right to edit it out for 2 inf / 1 mech if you choose.

Given the rules as they currently are, it seems to me that a KJF is a good response to German bomber spam. One of the great strengths of the bomber strategy is that it forces the Allies to defend both ground and sea in the Atlantic. If the European allied plan is to concede the Atlantic and win on the ground (and possibly with subs/air in Med), then you can negate part of those bombers’ power.
What I’m most interested in is what proponents of the strategy see as being the best Russian response. Max infantry from round 1 or commit to an offensive stack supported by UK fighters? Or something else entirely…
Alrighty, we’ll discuss bid placement and get a thread going some time soon.
