The Soviet mission -- the one in which you must destroy an Allied convoy -- can be accomplished in under a minute! At the start of the mission, pursue the convoy that is heading north with all of your units. (An armored tank division flanks the Allied convoy, so it is easy to overtake.) Then, unleash the potent firepower of your combined forces. The Allies won't know what hit 'em!
