BRITISH VS RUSIA?

[Kap_AOE3]

How should I play this MU correctly playing as british? When I play my friends I usually lose the mu, I have more eco but they have twice the military population, I try to go musketeer-hussar but they always have.more units that me (strelet-musk-cossask) what Can I do?

Its quite tricky and it needs to be played very precisely. If you play it wrong brits stand like no chance, but if you play it the correct way and your map has a decent amount of hunt then it may be even or slightly brit favored.
Go to age 2 with the tower politicaian, put it in front of your tc guarding next hunt. not too far from tc, but not too close. open stable, make sure get great coats, micro tc fire (dont overkill units). Use your exploer to defend early rush/ snare units for your mm call. ship 700 wood first. Later on add 2 raxes, go heavy musk and hus. ship musk atk card, ship cav card, other musk card. go out and control your far hunts. raid with some huss.

It's heavily Russia favoured honestly. A good russian player won't waste his army under your TC, and there is no way you can break 2-3 bh, even if you outmass hard.
I guess your best chance is to either outplay with raids as GUA suggested or somehow manage to age for falcs.

Trick everybody need to know is tower + tc fire (with 10 vili) one shot any russian inf (before boyard i suppose). So, put your tower in the same grp as your tc.

But what if brit goes semiFF and went cannons?

That's one way to play the MU.
The issue is that it's not easy to semi ff against a rush because you might die to a timing. And if you try to wall and be safe, Russia will outboom you by taking the TP line and age as well...

How does that brit semi ff work?

What is the ageup-time (III) and what is your unit count when you click up? Which card order? Can someone add that to the strategy wall?

well, russia has poor eco in early age 2, so he can't build 2-3 BHs and TPboom when still have enough units for a timing

It's not that simple. If you do the same age up timing every game you'll die to timing because Russia will adapt to it. You need to do a standard start and age at one point if you feel you can do it. I guess the quicker semi ff you can is 5huss/5lb if Russia is going greedy with 5coss/700w and market upgrades, and if you train more than 10huss/10 musk you have to commit to colonial because you won't have enough resources to age.

Of course but he goes for a TP boom if he sees your building walls and you're not going to push, and goes for 2-3 bh against aggressive play.

Most civs can deal with russia by calling minutemen to kill fb vills. This only works when you have good scouting to know where exactly blockhouse is and take into account loss of hp for mm by walking. However most consider this to be bad manners (BM) so be cautious.

[chronique]

I dont understand wy peaple consider that like BM. And tbh calling mm is not realy worth it if russian player take attention, he can bake his vili and finish the bh later.
