slowing down russia

[randell765]

I am pretty good at using the available armies to stop the serbs but Russia gives me problems, any suggestions? Also, what is a good amount of German units in )initial placement), should I send to the Russian line? Do I use A units or should I use B units?

Assuming you are going for the "France first" policy, then put the B corps on the eastern front. You will have time to add to those forces as more reserve corps are activated over the next 2 turns.

If you have some wild idea of replicating the Tannenburg and Mansurian Lakes campaign, then you will want to have a few A corps there at the start. Keep in mind that those few corps can be of great importance in the first two turns against France.
