There are three things that affect strategy. You and your opponents/teammates, the setup, and the dice.
Because there is no affect of dice G1 for instance, the only factors are you and the setup. This comes down to the fact that the setup offers some moves and you pick the best one.

@Imperious:
Ok new concept for Soviet Union:
Stalin Line:
Builds
R1= 8 Infantry, 1 Artillery…. place Art and 2 Inf in Leningrad, rest Moscow
R2= 3 Tanks, 4 Inf, 1 Artillery ( save one)… place 3 Inf in Leningrad, rest Moscow
R3= 3 tanks, 2 tactical bombers… place 3 tanks in Leningrad, Tactical bombers in Moscow
R4= 10 InfantryNCM for turns 1-3:
Stalin Line setup: ( this is what will be in position by turn G4 German attack)
Karelia 1 infantry
Vyborg 1 infantry
Novgorod 4 infantry, 3 tanks, 2 fighters, 1 tactical bomber
Baltic 1 infantry
Belarus 15 Infantry, 3 artillery
Western Ukraine 12 Infantry, 2 artillery
Bryansk 5 tanks, 2 mechanized
Russia 2 tactical bombers
Caucasus 3 infantry ( on R1 Soviets sent one infantry to get the 2 Persia infantry)
Navy stays, except Soviet sub may move forwardShould BB go to Z114 to block amphibs and to also make Germany attack 2 sea zones instead of 1 to kill the ships?

What about Germany Capturing Southern France on turn 1? It has a Naval Base and with a Minor factory it could influence the med quite a bit.

The Minor factory is in Normandy, not Vichy

No because Leningrad is weak, as the infantry stacks move south and place in Leningrad. Russia cant let it fall and her NO requires her to hold 115, which also defends Leningrad. Leningrad is only made ‘whole’ on R3 placements of 3 tanks.

Germany cant reach it because it has to take paris to reach it

No, the NO is tied to Z125, off Norway.
It cann reach souther France via northern Italy. Attack with tanks from Austria

I realize ther factory is in Normandy but I was thinking of buying a minor factory for southern France. I’m playing my first game on Sunday and I am preparing what I will do if I draw Germany or Japan.

And lose tanks at 6 IPC to infantry for a couple of IPC? Never should you do that.
I left alone Normandy because the infantry need to be soakers, never will i trade a tank for 2 IPC.
France is finished after paris falls. That lone frenchy wont hurt anybody and will die next turn.

You could bring a couple of mech infantry along with the tanks from west germany. These could act as soakers for the tanks.
