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.
Best 18 ipc's spent on land defense
-
It could be all Inf. or all Tanks, or any combination.
Lets here what you have to say -
In most scenarios, 6 infantry would be my pick for defense.
If I lack aa guns and the enemy is ready with a lot of air, then I might include an aa gun or guns.
If I’m likely retreating from the position (but it won’t fall immediately), then some mech or air might be desirable.
-
Depends a lot on how serious the threat is.
-
Pure defense, nothing else considered, 6INF.
But it is of course like Wheatbeer said; depends a lot on the situation…
If defending a not-to-be-given-up location while still have to be building up for counterattacks, might build 3ART + 2INF instead.
Etc. etc.
-
All infantry - best defense rating for the money and longest staying power due to a greater number of them.
