@BearXxx Welcome to the forum :slightly_smiling_face:
Which game are you referring to? I will move that topic to the appropriate category, then.
Different games have different rulesets, so it is always good to indicate the game when asking.
Don't always trust TripleA when it comes to rules questions. Know the rules before you start … and better check what TripleA has done.

As long as either of them is neutral, they can’t. Once they are allied they can.

In order to delay a German crush on Moscow you will need the help of US/UK.

The Allies need to at least threatening a landing on S.Fra, Normandy, Norway, Denmark, N.Ita or S.Ita. Everything else is bogus. If you can’t Force Germany to build some ships then they will have free hands on Moscow and it will not matter what they do or how they die.

And, when Germany captured Moscow, they will be in London/Cairo in No Time!

Germany has to send all his assets towards the East. Everytime Germany has or needs to build ships is one to two units less who can march towards Moscow.

If you want to delay a German march towards Moscow, then build up a JFK devinsive line.
J= Novo,Bela,W.Ukr, Ukr, Bessa
F=Bela,Smolensk, W.Ukr,Ukr, Bryansk
K=Smolensk,Bryansk,Rostov and Russia from where you refit and supply your troops.
You have to time it and have to be powerful enough to knock out any Ita Canopeners.

Q

The most effective russian players I’ve encountered are the ones that are able to build up a force that is able to threaten a counter on a german stack. If a good german player wants to go for Moscow they are able to get it, however I’ve seen plenty games where the UK/USA are putting enough pressure on the German player for him to stop just in front of Moscow. If the Russian player only has bought inf at this point there is not much of a threat for the German player to keep russia contained and slowly kill it economically. However if there is a stack of paired inf/art the pushback power is a lot bigger and thus Germany can be challenged and Russia may be able to break the German wall.

thanks again for further clarification, makes all sense to me!:-)

No Problem.

To Ghr2,

Appreciate the apology. Takes a lot to admit faults one might have. I just think you should use a little more tact when posting. Just because you are super competitive doesn’t give you the freedom to be rude/offensive. I am competitive as well. I just tend to lean towards giving people the benefit of the doubt. I may not agree with a strategy but I will wait to see it before I start saying it won’t work. You have great ideas on counters to situations, you just word them bad.

Regarding me playing you. I did PM you in order to play a game when I had no idea how to use triple a. I just needed someone to help me through the initial process and I had hoped that would be you. What I got was short, nondescript replies implying that I was an idiot for not knowing how to use the program.

My two cents says - if Germany attacks G1, then builds armor repeatedly, they’ll see a shortage of infantry soon enough. Their entire western flank, as said by others, will be eroded quickly. Killing tanks with infantry/artillery and a couple planes will be a nice laugh.

Don’t forget the power of the strafe to whittle down your opponent’s fodder, then fall back into reinforced positions.

As far as infantry vs. aircraft, oh yes. Most of my early games saw me buy an aircraft for the first three rounds - I like 4 fighters/2 tacs with Russia - but I’ve abandoned that over my past 3-4 games in favor of the all meat and potatoes purchase… land units only. After all, this isn’t a trade war we’re interested in, but a game of taking and holding key positions. The days of trade wars are over, imo. They were left behind in Anniversary. Aircraft can’t take a piece of land… all it can do is kill and retreat. I now prefer to set up overlapping defensive structures with a slowly growing mobile reserve, to be able to threaten multiple places.

Russia has to learn that they don’t have to fight for every IPC. Some are ok to let go. A trade war will result in a gradual erosion of Russian land units, and death.

It sounds like this became a three-way war: USSR vs US & UK vs Japan. I assume that the US and UK were still at war with Japan in the Pacific?

I played a game a while back that was kind of similar. Basically, Japan never went to war with USA or UK but just attacked China and Russia. On the other side, Germany and Italy never attacked Russia and only fought with USA and UK. Well, Germany and Italy ended up getting pounded into the dust. Japan actually made good progress capturing all of China and getting close to taking Moscow. One reason for this is most of Russia’s heavy stuff was up against the German border and it took time to get it all east to face the Japanese. Once Japan got through that 18 infantry, there wasn’t much to stop them from making quick progress. Once US and UK got finished with Germany and Italy, they decided to side with Japan and declared war on Russia to rid the world of Communism. Once that happened, Russia fell pretty quickly. The large US and UK forces that were already in Europe just leap-frogged each other taking Soviet territories and closing in on Moscow from the west while Japan closed in from the east with their massive air force.
One strange thing was here Japan had this huge and powerful navy which was basically useless. All those ships ended up clustered in SZ 6 and just rusted away from inaction.
