@commobill Welcome to the forum.
I moved your topic to the Anniversary Edition forum category which should be the place where you will find what you are looking for. (See the stickied topics.)
Should the USSR attack Finland or Retreat to Archangel and make Karelia a deathtrap in 1941?
Or keep on fighting ?
it should definitely defend Karelia
as long as Germany doesnt go naval in Baltic
and even if it goes Karelia can be defended or at least deadzoned
Might depend on the openings and what (and when) you expect to do with the UK
Attack Finland. Then you can take Norway 2nd round with 1 inf and the rest (if any) can try to retake Karelia. Or hold Finland. When in doubt…attack. 8-)
