Without house rules or any perks to the Axis then classic AA is 90% chance of victory for the Allies. Unless the Allied player is green or has not read Don’s essays on AA then the game is even but once the Allied player knows how to operate then it is usually a short game with the Allies as the victor.
The Ultimate Russian attack!

I tend to use a variation of that when I’m playing in non RR games. What I do is send in the 5 INF from Caucuses and the Karelia INF, plus both fighters. Tanks I keep in reserve. Taking out Ukraine is nice, it does some damage to Germany. Oh yes, and I do the whole naval thing it’s nice to try and take out Germany’s fleet in Baltic because one less sub G has to atack UK with.
The only thing I would advise is to buy 8 INF instead of 6/1 tank. I think for the first few turns Russia has to go heavy INF all the way. Later they can buy a tank or two to take part in limited spoiling offensives.

All right TG moses VI let me explain the karelia ftr not fighters
move1:attackukraine
move 2: go back to karelia
move 3: attack fin. Nor.
move 4: land in KareliaThis isn’t rocket science!

It´s not rocket science - it´s illegal! That´s what it is!

hmm ok, so finland:
3 inf 2 arm vs 3 inf 1 arm 1 ftr
the odds look bad here -
This attack would just leave you weakend for Germany to attack the big K on round one, the troops are better served just holding their ground in Karelia to defend. Now to throw things up in a non-RR game I will attack Caucuses, but I think the best thing for the USSR’s overall interests is to just sit on teh first round and play defense.

Agreed most of the time :D
If nothing else you MUST keep Karelia stacked with INF and some defensive units. Lose Karelia and….

That’s what I liked about the PRC. They recycled their detritis over and over and over. Sadly, I don’t think they do it any more. :cry:
