If I remember correctly, it’s typical for Germany to take Karelia the first round since Russia is not going to have enough force to keep it. The main duty for Russia is to make sure Germany cannot use Karelia’s factory to produce new units next couple rounds, meaning Russia needs to take it back if Germany conquer it. If not Allies will be in difficult position.
Unescorted transports can be attacked by partial fleet

I’m wondering if this rule change was noted by everyone but me until now? Un-escorted transports can be attacked by one ship from a fleet passing thru a seazone containing containing them. Page 11 “It is possible that some units may stop to attack while others continue moving through the sea zone”
-
As long as one warship is allocated to destroy the transports, the rest can continue but not the allocated warship. It stays in place and ends movement.
-
That prevents someone from using Transports as cheap “blocking” units to delay heavier, more meaningful attacks.

right.
