Russia can be used as a powerful weapon for the Allies if used constructively and aggressively. There is pretty much only one route to take as the Russian leader. That is attacking Germany. I guess you could make a campaign in the east against Japan, but if your Allie for the US does his job, then you won't have to worry about Japan's land. I would take the armies from Caucasus and Karelia to take Ukraine in the first move. Here is what I would do: Buy 8 infantry, as you would if you were defending. I would send in the tanks in Karelia, the infantry in Caucasus and the 2 fighters(1 is in the Capitol, the other is in Karelia) to attack Ukraine. After the battle is finished, and you have captured Ukraine, place the 8 infantry in Karelia. Land both fighters in Karelia, also. This will provide some defense in case Germany tries to take Karelia with his tanks in Germany, Eastern Europe, Finland-Norway, and Southern Europe. He may bring in his Infantry in Eastern Europe and Finland also. But ifhe is a good player, I wouldn't worry about him doing that. I also recomend attacking the transport off the coast of Berlin with your transport and sub. You will have the advantage with your first strike attack and you can remove him from transporting troops to/from Finland. Otherwise, he can't get them across. The troops remaining in Moscow is going to have to be your decision. You can move the 2 tanks into china to protect your Allie after he builds a Complex, you could send them East to help out the troops in Yakut S.S.R., ot you could have them join in with the attack. The infantry I would use to help protect Karelia.
