Hold their timing. Brit have to do a timing to push out for hunts, it's either around 8 min or 11.

Just claim map control and don't let it go away. This means holding timings ye. Russia eco or army isn't any weaker than Brit one so the rest comes automatically.

By predicting when it''s going to hit and tailoring your build to have the most possible units at that time. This means sending lots of crates then 5 coss or 13 strel just before the timing depending on their composition.

I would also try to fight under the BH, since its 30 damage, and your reinfocements won't have to walk that much

Since when does Russia have the same economy as the British? And my strel/coss/musk lose easily to musk (with dmg) and huss (with hp upgrade), maybe because I have a worse eco and with a better one I'd be even or even Russia favoured (army composition). I don't know, what you think?

Russia eco is actually pretty strong. Not just the resource income (which btw is pretty good with steel traps, 400w and a 16.5 vills ageup) but the fact that they''re units are cheaper than what they''re weaker is pretty big deal. Think about that, many times 5 cossack do the same job of 5 huss but costing way less. Same applies to other units.
Also Russia get more stuff from free from the deck (crates directly spent on units and unit shipments alone).

As for the army, in even numbers I think Russia one is even better. I mean Brit army is pretty damn strong but it takes like all 4 ups to be such. Russia has boyars and their units are kinda cost effective already on base stats.

it's difficult for russia to defend brit's hussar raiding. if russia builds front BH for map control, his base is empty. 5 cossack lose to 5 hussar. and if russia builds BH at home, he loses map control.

Perhaps this deserves another thread but I've recently started using china and find they also has difficulties with british (in a similar way). Because its hard to read what a brits is gonna do sometimes and because they usually start and/or mass hussar by the time you have a decent ff army. I suppose its best to harrass early like others have said?

hmm. I have been wondering this same question now for 4 years. I think it's impossible to hold. Hopeless MU for russia.
