The Russians

completely agree.  THough I generally wait to buy ARM.  I usually buy infantry and load up my front line until there is jsut nothing Germany can do , then buy tanks, and just roll over Europe.

I meant that each fighter has a 50% chance of a hit. You really only need one, IMO. (sorry, I just plain dont see that transport as a threat. it’s only 1 tank or 2 infantry!) Besides, the UK can take it out later.

And yea, I conceed that you might still loose the sub in spain. So perhaps dumping that tranny on Canada would be better.

I’m still not going all out with Russia as mentioned in post 1. Although, I was thinking about it, and it is a good way to reduce the number of units on the board, dramatically. Perhaps a way to open Finland or E. Euro up for an invasion sooner by the allies? (BTW, unless I can get jap fighters, I don’t like to attack with my eastern russian forces. If I can get jap fighters, I’ll sacrifice 7 infantry and a tank just to get 1 or 2 enemy fighters!)

Also in your strategy, you should take into account the standard bid of 18-24 when playing non-RR.

i think that is a good idea also since i play russia and the japanese always are buggin me when im tryin to take down germany.

i do not know what weapons will be used in world war 3 but i do know that world war 4 will be fought with rocks and sticks.

It works that way with the A&A PC game as well, but Bolter is correct the AI is just plain bad in the game. In fact I have said this before if you want any challenge out of the computer game double the opposing teams forces for more fun :D

I second D_B_'s “Well said!”, for D_M_ !!!

Keep trying new strategies, In_k!
It keeps your opponent guessing.

I like to place one of my fighters in Yakut. It gives Russia alot more flexibility on the eastern front.

I don’t think you would have to worry about Kerilia being taken T1. This rarely happens and actually does more damage to the Nazi war machine. As for me, I would take Ukraine first as it posses the least amount of retailation from Germany. If Eastern Europe is taken, Germany can just counter attack from both sides, reinforcing Eastern Europe while they’re at it. As for Finland. They can wait until T2, as they’re bascially sitting ducks trapped on an “island.”
