If you build an AC or 2 transports on G1, the allies can both buy air and sink you unified navy in sz7 on UK2 and US2. If you really want to mess with the Allies in the Atlantic, you might want to try one of the following strategies (though they do come at a cost):
bid a sub in sz8 and kill the sz2 navy on G1 (you can combine this with a naval purchase on G1 and foregoing Egypt, sending the sz 14 fleet to sz 13, if you have the nerve) Buy something like bomber, fig, 5 inf or bomber, 8 inf and move your navy to sz 7 (add the sub in sz 8 or a possible bid unit for added effect). Because of the extra bomber, the UK will be hard-pressed to unify in sz 8 and hitting 5+ units in sz 7 is not really attractive either.German Defence

The Best German Defense:
Iron Crosses over Washington DC

Get a grip people ! :x
Best German defense is to be agressive and attack and keep the initiative.
G1, buy 4 inf, 2 art, 4 tanks and always keep buing this mix until you reach Moscow
G1 CM kill UK BB and DD, get Egypt and occupie as many russian territories as possibe with inf/tanks
G1 NCM land 4 fighters in France and 2 ftr 1 bomber in Libya and prevent allied navy to anchor in Algeria. Then move Baltic navy to block any amphib trys from allied navys, and empty France and Norway.
G2 to G5 keep marching east to Moscow, and let two tanks secure income from Africa
Now this is the Norwegian take, the yankees may try to master bait you, sonny

I still say the best German Defense is a Nazi Parade into the White House. Perhaps a rising sun over LA too.

I have found that in my first few rounds playing germany, I was much to aggressive. Usually I get so burned out pounding Russia, that by the time that I am in striking distance or moscow i am unable to fend off US/UK assaults into WE, SE etc. I agree with the previous posts that suggest a solid INF and FIG anchor. Since you always have the advantage on the defensive, let Russia burn its self out on a what it think is a conservative germany, meanwhile you destroy/delay the US/UK shucks with a combine german fleet on SZ 12, with a FIG stack in WE. Russia will be so tickled pink to get those extra 3-5 IPCs that it my become overly aggressive. Whenever an ally sticks a vulnerable army out, you will be in position to lop it off. All the while Japan weakens Russia, and moves in for the kill. Of course this only works in a KGF came. If Japan gets tied down Germany is living on borrowed time.
