Hi. They use landing crafts to cross the Black Sea and land into Caucasus starting in Greece. Pretty effective and an easy and cheap way.

Hi crockett

I just looked at your turn. Everything looks pretty good except that you need to add Army Group Center to Belarus before you send any soviets in to attack.

The reason is, triplea won't count the Defenders in battle if they aren't edited in to the TTy before any Attackers.

I will post a local save for you to look at, so you can follow the moves in History.

You will most likely want to change your attack, as AG Center is going to add 20 units to the Germans. But this will still be useful helping you learn the game.

Back in a few

@crockett36 here is a save with AG Center deployed to Belarus

As you can see, the soviets would most likely be overmatched. If I may suggest. you might consider moving 1st Corps to Novgorod and moving 3 INF via Rail along with your 3 Conscripts to harden it's defense.

They will most likely be defeated but it's too large a Force for them to ignore and will weaken the push on Moscow.

Or, you could withdraw to Karelia and harden up on Moscow.
Moscow will get 20 conscripts and can rail an additional 3 form the Far East. A blocker in Smolensk most likely doesn't stop the Italian canopener, although 3 INF and an Elite might do it.

Even if you don't block, Moscow should remain too strong to fall. I would suggest in this course to move one of the Tanks out of a Corps via Rail and combine with the Urals Tank in Moscow and form a Tank Army.

Take as much back in the South as you can and be wary of that German Para.
UK Rail can also move to Russia, if Churchill allows it

There are other options as well. You could still go after Norway and land your Bmbrs in Karelia if you move out of Novgorod.

Anyway, this is a learning game. Getting used to the game mechanics and how triplea does it.
