It might seem like a waste but I like to move my russian BB one space out from the coast, this give you an extra turn to prepare against a german amphibious assult.
If im correct this wont work if you are not at war, since the germans can ignore you. They will move straight past you to the coast, and then do an amphibious assault. At that point war will be declared.
Ofc, if you are at war its another thing :)
The second they declare war on you, all your units become active, and they càn`t just bypass your ship.
You can also stall them out, if you start in the same zone as them, as they won`t be able to pickup units in that zone, if they declare war.

DOW’s happen before any moves are made

nice, that is a tactic I did not know. I’m in a game now where I have 1 russian sub stuck in baltic. The German is just ignoring that sea and helping Italy with controlling the Med. Because Germany goes right before Russia, it will be almost impossible to have Denmark on the Russian turn, meaning any ships in the Baltic are locked in. In this case it looks like its better to get those ships out of the Baltic if the German will let you.
If Russia amphibs Denmark, can the sub from the baltic then escape in noncom?
No, you need to hold it for a turn to escape :S
well then, it seems the best option for those Russian ships is to try and get red oktober outta the Baltic, use the BB to block inside the baltic, and use your subs (and a lvl bmb outta Lenningrad) to control norway sz.
i generally just use the russian fleet to keep the german player honest. Was fun one game the german player attacked and destroyed an american fleet but forgot to leave anything in berlin and the russian player captured it.
Russian ships are defensive, either against an invasion to Novgorod or on the other side if Germany plans sea lion
The conclusion to this thread was that its best to get the russian sub outta the Baltic, but leave the bb for blocking purposes.
