Just practice and learn from experience.  Don;t feel bad if you’re having trouble; you are playing some very experienced players on here and this is a tough game to learn, and its frustrating.  But keep at it and learn.

When playing Russia, don’t try to stack Leningrad and Ukraine - Belarus and Bryansk is where you want to be.
