Russia reference chart

brilliant strategy

It depends on the outcome of the firswt battle. As a German player, I try to capture Vborg and Leningrad in the first turn to take away lending area for fighters from England. Fighters are better to give to the Russians since they are cheaper, and they help defend agaisnt industrial bombing. If I play as an ally, I send all the initial fighter force to Russia, both British and American. I don’t donate the bombers, as they can help in Operation Torch, and industrial bombing.

Interesting idea. Something to try out.

ok here it is (i’ve memorized it… seriously)
germany: 4 infatry 2 tanks 2 artillery 1 IC 1 AA 2 fighters 1 bomber

What it is that you have a set of technology fields. These would be Land Advancements, Transportation/Movement, Atomic Weapons, ect. The player choses one, or how many ever, though usually I choose one and begins researching it.

At the beginning at each country’s turn, that country gets one free technology. Player chooses specific development and records die roll on chart

Player unlocks new technology after he cumulatively reaches that nation’s probability (20 if excellent, 25 if good, 30 if fair, 35 if poor)

To gain subsequent advancements, 15 (20 if fair or poor) additional technology points are required for L2 and L3 breakthroughs

i just played a game that took 15 turns (i finally got moscow)
i think it was 73 inf 24 rtl 39 arm attacking 86 infantry 16 rtl and 22 ftrs
obviously the allies sent in fighters! Had they sent a few more he certainly could have, instead he build a large ineffective fleet, i would have lost (i took moscow with 19 arm))

if you figure that germany has 2x the production of russia, but i’m considering the strategy where the allies mainly build fighters, and send them all to moscow russia bids armor with the bid so they can get finland and norway asap, then infantry so if leningrad falls, the allies can land in norway instead) The usa can build 3 fighters a turn, the uk 2, this is the same as 10 infantry, or 30 ipc’s. At this rate, you can almost say it’s russia against germany, russia get’s 54 ipc’s a turn, germany get’s 40. remember russia has finland and norway. Of course it is even harder for germany since moscow is 4 turns away. All russia has to do is hold out, eventually with 30-40 fighters, they can kill the german stack… or if they have enough to hold a few turns, the allies can build their fleet, or whatever, the allies are cashing out extremely high.

you can build a few bombers as allies, and leave leningrad and stalingrad open (germany takes, sbr it!) If germany sends into ME, russia just get’s stronger (i personally thing sending there is a waste of troops). Usa and uk have to build subs and stuff the first turn or so to get the convoys though. Not really sure, but it might work. I’ll try it my next game.
