Is it not because of their based land experience at 50%?

Shall we? This is kind of radio silence on this topic since the last patch with the new garrison mode.

Land invasion...
Still falls but takes quite a few panzers.


I think the Soviets are okay...though more testing is required.

I have only played one game from start till now...thought the Soviets are in trouble in that game but that is due to a lot of clear turns and some luck.

But i find that the reward for conquering new countries is a little underwhelming. (Expecially that you have to garrison and protect them after the conquest).
During WW2, germany litteraly plunder the occupied countries to fill its war machine. I would really love more loot

I think the reason for the silence is that there haven't been enough games played yet with the new garrison rules for anyone to really judge. My own very preliminary assessment is that the new Rule isn't enough to help Russia. But I really require more game experience.

I rarely if ever attack them so they may be a little overpowered.

IF I was going to attack them, it may or may not be cheaper to just land an armored corps and drop in paratroopers around the capital.

Though if you don't stop an amphibious landing on her or the Axis use paras they can kill her before she reinforces. Albania is terrible supply and the timeframe to take her is not fun.

- Bulgaria (with a full corps).
- Crete and with Crete you can interdict Tobrouk by air.

But if the united kingdom manage to land troops in greece before you manage to take athen, you can be in big trouble !!
