Keep in mind every time you buy transports for UK in round 1 or 2, it means less boots on the ground. It’s a trade off. I think it’s better to use French transports for moving UK troops to western front. Granted, using the French transports is slower.
Is it possible to keep Russia in the war?
-
This game is designed for the Russians to drop out of the war. Doyou think this will happen every game, or will the Russian player be able to keep the central powers at bay?

Depends on the Central strategy to start. If all three Central Powers go for a Revolution, then there’s not much Russia can do. But if even one Central Power is forced to abandon or scale down the Eastern front, Russia may just be able to stay afloat.

Or the US can send a rescue party.

If Germany goes for France and leaves the Habsburgs to face the Tsar alone, with it unlikely that the ottomans will be that big of a help, then yes, look at the game Djensen played, his Germany put only a light focus on Russia and it ended up wiping out the AH and Ottoman armies in the balkans and was still very much alive by the time they called it quits.

The earliest the US can land troops in Baltic Russia is turn EIGHT. I doubt the yankees are coming to Russia.

Russia can be defeated just fine without the Revolution rule in effect.

Russia is a powerhouse. For the Central Powers, I’m playing around with the idea of KIF, Kill Italy First. Then use the IPC windfall to finance attacks on the Eastern and Western fronts. Though, I’m not sure if it will be enough.

Oh? Explain yourself lol

Russia starts with a lot of units. At first it doesn’t look like much until you start mobilizing those minor powers. I need to play another few games tho.
