Russia Plans
I persuaded England to let me have Norway in return for assistance against Germany. This proved to be a good strategy as it gave me a solid base in Scandinavia and the bonus of anundefended Berlin later in the game. It also enabled me to concentrate more in the south.
The most fearful thing that can happen is for Turkey to move into BLA and Arm and this must be avoided ifRussia is to prosper. Unless he can be certain (and that is rare in Diplomacy) that Turkey will not go to BLA, he must defend by ordering there himself. A good policy is to arrange a stand-off in BLA inSpring 1901 and then to order F(Sev)-Rum in the Autumn with support from Ukr or Gal if necessary. Conditional builds can then be made on the basis that if Turkey has gone to BLA a fleet is raised inSev. This can be effective if Turkey is told about the conditional builds.
To be successful in the south an ally is needed and Russia has at her disposal two of the best alliances on the board,Turkey and Italy. The Turkish alliance is ideal - the Balkans and Austria can be swiftly divided, followed by Turkey moving against Italy and Russia concentrating in the north against England or Germany.The Italian alliance has the advantage that the two countries do not come into contact until the end (or middle) game so only minimal trust is required. Yet again it is Austria that is first for thechop, then the Balkans, and finally a surrounded and outnumbered Turkey. The third alternative - the Austrian alliance - can quickly snuff out Turkey but leaves Russia open to a stab by Austria.
Inthe North, Russia has to tread warily until he is strong enough to mount a land war against Germany or a sea war against England. Perhaps the worst thing for Russia is an England/Germany alliance. Notonly will this hamper him in Scandinavia but will hinder the growth of Russia’s natural ally in the north - France.
