If you are playing Revised with a bid then one possibility is to add a 2nd G transport to the Med fleet instead of adding units to Libya/Algeria. It doubles the transport capacity and can make the Russian player weary on an amphibious attack on the Caucasus/Ukraine.
Like mentioned above the drawback is that additional units sent to Africa won’t be used on the Eastern front and the 2nd transport will be sunk with the rest of the fleet if the Allies decide to do so.

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.
