Players should be free to choose. But being forced to play too defensively and cautiously in every single game would be boring, and it wasn't politically feasible at that time. Both offensive and defensive Russia should have their own pros and cons.

End Late 1940 [image: 1783054843949-screenshot-from-2026-07-02-23-59-44.png] Well a few mistakes. China took a beatdown in their attack, which they shoulda at least killed a couple dudes Nothing too extreme other than that. I don't really like my China defense but it seems Yunnan should be taken. That's a Big time bonus. JPN seems a little off as well. Idk they're probably OK. SSR needs to strike early if they decide to. I know OOB it's common and I've seen it a few times with HRE now. Mixed results so far, which is what is wanted. I would lean towards not doing it, SSR early attack on JPN but it can be effective. Vice Versa, I feel the same with Japan. Probably less likely to attack early unless SSR concentrates in Amur. Then I'd just say f it and attack I did against crockett and it had good results but he retrieved the situation nicely. Game is basically even in 1944 I think it is. Sadly, he hasn't responded in over a month now, so that promising game will most likely not finish.

I forgot to move the PG to W GER hence the edit. Things looking grim for the Reich. At least the yanks won Tough match coming up

@ubernaut: Ok. Finally finished the Germans . Go for
