I think you guys forget that the Russians almost moves some of the troops in the Siberian Front back to fight the Germans.  Even in Europe 1940, this is simulated by the Russians getting those two free infantry in the South.  I bet those 18 will be pared down to something like 10 or 8 while the Japanese also move troops from Manchuria.  Just my thought… :-)

Hey UN, thanks for doing this.  I will definitely be using your guide when teaching newbies how to play.  I have found that teaching the rules is straightforward, but trying to coach someone on what strategy to use is much more difficult.  Your guide is perfect for this.

Thanks again

It also depends on what year you are playing.  If you’re playing 41, then you almost have to take the hits as they come, and generally this means losing Karelia on turn one.  However, if you’re playing in 42, you may be able to hold the territory.  Also when I’ve played, if I do not plan hold Karelia then I always make sure to move out the AA gun.

Either way, Russia’s options are very limited. :|
