I use it all the time. It dosent take that much effort to sort through the pieces to find the one you want.

I also think that the key to winning is keeping the Germans off Guard by attacking and being aggresive with them. Falling back and buying infantry does make you stronger, but for how long. Attacking the Germans could be the last thing he expects and may make him think about redoing his whole strategy. Russia dosent always have to counter attack, they can be the first to attack, and with devestaiting results I might add.

I made a mistake, i ment to say to buy tanks the first couple of turns. Buying tanks the whole game would be foolish of me.

Staying in Moscow will not help your problem. The russians will lose a lot thier icps from the germans taking over the rest of russia. Any way waiting will help the russains by giving the allis extra time but it only makes germany stronger. The germans can produce as many tanks as russia can infantry. And if the russians are all in moscow then the I would just gather my whole army in one territory and attck it.
And if I fail then well here comes 8 or more tanks to finnish the job.

p.s. I accept your challenge……if i can figure out how to play.

Actully the counter attacks wont kill you. If the russians build the usually infantry and artillary they will have a large force, but it will lack the offencive power it needs to destroy your army. And if the russians beat you their will still be 8 tanks and your whole airforce ready to counter attack the now heavily damaged russian army. You will have a constant flow of tanks from which you can attack with by building them every turn.

Another idea that usually works is keeping one territory betwwen your forces and the enemy. If they choose to move closer you will crush them with your infantry, planes, and huge amonts of armor. And if you move in they will mostly have all infantry and some artilllary which just dosent pack enough punch to beat you.

Your only trouble is if the russians build up a tank force of thier own to counter attack yours.
