Danger Mouse,
I think I am in your boat. It would be great to have but it is playing a lottery.
LT
i have seen people mention that all teks are bad for russia except IT
i disagree, I Think that IT is bad for russia unless karelia and russia are secured really well
what???
if you tek all your money first turn with russia and get IT, i think you will still lose. Because of the structure of the game, if russia only get’s 1 infantry turn one, germany will move in and hold karelia for the remainer of the game. Even with IT, germany can still take out russia since it’s economy is superior (it can build more infantry than russia can even though russia has IT), and russia cannot recieve reinfocements other than fighters that have to fly over an aa gun!!
i though i would just point out that no matter what tek you get (if any) with russia early on, you will still lose
Tech as Russia? Why not build a carrier while you’re at it? With the no move for russia on T1, if you don’t put every single piece and build in Karelia except for 1 infantry in the Caucus you’re asking Germany to hammer you. Even if you do it’s about a 50/50 battle for Karelia…
Seriously though, if you are winning why bother with techs? If you can see the writing on the wall and you know it’s a matter of time then perhaps you might roll for techs in particular if you have air power. I was the USA and had a fleet of transports weakly defended but out of range of german air, the germans got long range and all of a sudden that fleet was in range and was sunk. The germans knew it was a matter of time once the convoy system got started to norway that he was doomed,
