my friend and i came up with a similar strategy for stopping it; however, if the german player isnt half bad the stack of tanks will at least vanquish half of the men stored in moscow, couple this with a broad attack that takes away russian ipc’s necissary to build more men and german reinforcements of 7-9 tanks every two turns(the time it takes to get from poland-ish area to anything worth attacking in russia) should be enough german steel to take down the moscow infantry stack. hesitation is kryptonite after the intial attacks tho. any breathing space given to the russians is an opportunity to build tanks in addition to more men, so a dramatic battle that results in the loss of much german steel could easily bring about a reversal on the eastern front.

“what does the poll have tot do with the strat?”

nothing in particular. i just felt like posting it for some reason.

ok, even tho germany has the disadvantage in a war of attrition, the first turn buy all tanks and only attack on periphrial fronts like the atlantic and africa.

move all existing tanks into poland, cover with EVERYTHING else on the border territories. make no attacks on the russians.

then the second turn come at the reds with a huge pile of tanks.

in my experience you may need another dose of german steel to finish off uncle joe but not much more than that. the rest of the game buy either additional tanks or infanty to fight off any allied incursions.

cover your ass by always having at least 5 infantry in germany so the allies cant take it.
