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.
First turn UK industry buy in Egypt - how do you counter it
-
So how does Italy/Germany counter a first round buy industry buy in Egypt by UK?
-
Operation Sealion
-
If you build NAVY on G1, it will prevent an EGY IC Buy.
-
Yeah. If you’ve committed to Barbarossa though it’s simple: Luftwaffe support and Italian Airforce builds. Transport units over to N. Africa, get rich off the NO’s, and watch Egypt fall.

And what’s Montgomery doing while all this is going on?

Begging Churchill for money the U-Boats sunk…

best counter is an easy Sealion.

Agreed, if you built a Carrier with Germany on round 1, and the UK either buys units in S Africa or builds an IC somewhere, the Germans need to go all in on Sea Lion. As Germany, launch your attack on London on G3 and you should win with acceptable losses. Situations like these are what Sea Lion is all about :)
