Theater of War Mission Pack: Operation Barbarossa
Mission: Moscow Approach
Russian missions in ToW/Barbarossa come in two basic colors: brown and white. “Moscow Approach” is a white one. As for most of the other Russian Barbarossa missions, your best bet is to bring in 4-5 conscripts; use them and your engineers to cap points (fuel points and points connecting the fuel points to your base should be your top priorities); tech for tanks after about six minutes; bring in 3-5 KV-1s to recover map control; then wipe the German base. Works whether you play from the left base or the right base. Infantry-only (conscripts, penals, guards-rifle squads) is another viable strategy, but you will need also to have mortar support and plenty of AT power for your infantry.
