I also think russia shouldn’t take Ukraine because of the counterstrike. It’s better to kill the infantry and a tank or two and then to retreat to Karelia in time. Furthermore I think the Russian fighters are needed in the Baltic first. Germany will then have to retreat from Ukraine because otherwise the remaining forces will be killed by Russian infantry and fighters. It is not possible to reinforce Ukraine with infantry without weakening other territories too much.

RE: Battleships and Amphibious assaults
I think you can move 2 spaces and still fire. In the rules no restrictions are mentioned.

RE: German Opening Move (w/RR and 2HBS)
It looks like the battleship at Gibraltar MUST DIE so I attack it with at least my sub and my bomber. Could it be necessary to use more? Ok usually you sink it and you don’t lose more than your sub but if your rolls go slightly wrong your whole Africa force will be wiped out! Furthermore I think that building tanks is a bit premature while being so low on infantry. Karelia is probably too well defended to kill it quickly, and even if you succeed you will only have some tanks left that will be destroyed in a counter attack. I like to collect IPC in Africa first before trying to expand in the east, so I also go for the extra transport+infantry in the south.

UK advice
I have a question: suppose that Germany decides not to attack the UK fleet in the first turn, but to use his airpower elsewhere instead. What would be the best way for UK to take advantage of that? Should he retreat the fleet from this “dead zone” or should he try to reinforce it (looks hard if the fighters/bomber remain in the neighbourhood)? Thanks for your advice!
