With Russia I usually attack the seaport
with 1 sub 1trans and 1 fighter. I
anticipate the loss of the royal navy. I
protect that attacting Russian fighter
because it needs to be saved for future
engagements. Also the Russian sub can
withdraw and protect the fleet of England
(sometimes). The fleet of the Russian Navy
can be used to take hits by itself in the
Northern port of Germany by itself or used
in a defensive role when the Brits rebuild
a navy. The number of targets increase for
the German player causing him to make more
mistakes. Even if a single Russian ship
survives it annoys the hell out of the German
player possibly causing him to take another
risk hitting it with another air unit.
Many advantages in this attack.
