any game reports?
LOL this concept is ridiculous.
I mean, what else is Russia supposed to do? NOT put units in thier major cities?
That’s like saying, “Hey we’re in the NFL, we’re going to win by scoring some points”
It’s not even a comprehensive strategy.
I took it more as a recommendation for Russia to yield the city and retreat the army when defense was no longer an option. This in contrast to standing there and hopeing to inflict serious damage to the Germans in exchange for losing your army and the city.
Russia is all about buying time, being a nuisance, destroying equipment, and living to fight another day whenever possible.
However you do it is irrelevant.

Now that I would disagree with! Too often do I see Russian units in control of Poland, Norway, Hungary and Romania and even, at times, S. Germany. I feel Russia is a real contender. Not necessarily as powerful as America, Germany, Italy or Japan, but certainly not as weak kneed as France, England or Australia!
Last I checked, invading Poland, SGG, Romania, Hungary, or Norway - fit under Buying Time, being a nuisance, destorying equipment, AND living to fight another day.

I wouldn’t call it that, I would call it WINNING!
Gentlemen,
The thing is that ounce Stalingrad, Leningrad and Ukraine have fallen, the Germans control 3 factories within Russia, I have even sometimes seen a player build a 4th one, therefore popping out 9 to 12 tanks a turn. The Reds are often reduced to around 6-10 IPCs a turn, and therefore, in less than 2 turns just get completely overrun.
My Strategy would therefore be to keep the germans out, as far and as long as possible and just gradually retreating into Moscow.
since russia cannot hold out until the bloody end, russia should secure as much material as possible.
since infantry is too slow to achieve this, i have been thinking about buying mostly mech inf for russia, too. what helps germany can help russia in the same manner.
mostly it comes down to germany taking leningrad first, then going via belarus, briansk - taking ukraine meanwhile - to moscow, when i am not mistaken.
IF leningrad is threatened by a decent german force, a retreat to belarus is no help, since the same force can be beaten there instead. so a retreat via archangelsk is fine or a faster force which can joy troops positioned in briansk to fortify there.
any mobile troops not lost are better then massive infantry buys lost, imho.
so, just fortifiying cities, makes no sense, except in moscow as a capital city.
greetings
rock`n roll
P.S. Cmdr Jennifer: what do want to express with the attribute “Flottentöterin”? annihilator, murderer, killer, destroyer of the fleets? i guess “Flottenvernichterin” would be better since this means annihilatress or destroyer of the fleets. :D
