Hi,
I'm playing as Germany and is 4th of July 1941. Stalingrad has fallen and the Bitter Peace with Russia is in place. I've micromanaged the fighting and I've crushed the Russian armies. They only have left maybe 10 or so divisions that have to withdraw from my new conquered lands. On the other hand the new border is huge, 56 provinces, and I only have 4 infantry and 1 panzer armies in the east plus 1 infantry army that is guarding Europe. What I would like to do is invade England, but what to do with the new border with Russia? How may divisions should I leave there? Is one infantry division for each province enough to prevent an invasion from Russia? What is Russia usually do after the Bitter Peace? If I leave them alone will they leave me alone for the rest of the game or at least for a few years? How fast are they rebuilding their armies and with what technology (they didn't have a single heavy tank division until now)? I would like to puppet Russia but the invasion of England and Egypt has to take priority. And looking at how huge Siberia is, driving my tanks through it would probably take forever and be a logistic nightmare. So, what should I expect from Russia in the future? Thanks for answers!
