## A.D 1917

The Russian Empire is now split in a civil war between the White Army and the Red Army. Their new allies are the United States, Brazil, Peru, Morocco and Libya. The starting Russian generals are still Nikolai Ivanov, Radko Dimitriev, and Aleksei Brusilov. St. Petersburg is split in half from the rest of your country and is surrounded by Soviet armies, so you have to protect it while also fighting off the Germans and the Austro-Hungarians. You can also start a front in the Caucasus but its not recommended.

### Strategy:

This is difficult in the challenge conquest (as of challenge conquest update in August 2020) As Russia, your main focus is on the RSFSR (they have very good generals take note). The Soviets will attack St .Petersburg. Hold them there and use your generals Dimitrev and Ivanov should steal open cities. The first 20 rounds will be the most difficult but don't worry. German Empire is \*\*\* and they will 🔩up. The British, French, Belgian and Italians will eventually move into Germany. Your main worry is Austro-Hungary and Ottoman Empire because the Balkans will almost always fall to the Central Powers. Secondly, use Brusilov to try and open a limited front in the Caucasus (After beating back repeated Ottoman assaults on Tibilisi). When the Entente have conquered Germany support them in a 2 front war against Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire. In the meantime, use your troops in the Caucasus front to attack Egypt (if not already conquered), Don't worry about Spain or America, they can handle themselves. (UNLESS the AI decide to not play properly). If America is controlled then focus attention on Spain. In a nutshell this is your pattern of attack: 🗡RSFDSR = German Empire + Austria-Hungary = Ottoman Empire = Egypt + Bulgaria. Optional (Spain and America: but don't worry America has a 95% chance to knock out both Canada and Mexico and usually France, Portugal, the African states will overwhelm Spain) #Win

### Trivia:

* Russia is the only country that switch colors in between campaigns and conquests as they switch from a Red-Orange color to White.
