Karelia Karelia,  and it s only worth 2.

Building a German navy is costly, limited in use and has to be kept on strength. But a fun options that keeps your opponents guessing.

Advantages:

• Bridge towards Scandinavia and Leningrad
• Threatens London (a bit)
• Protects Berlin
• Keeps options open (Maybe after the victory parade on the red square?)[/

Disadvantages

• Costly (less tanks & men) and hes to be maintained
• Limited use

Maybe is this the place to open the discussion on the bosporus optional rule, escort fighers, and on the subs.
Bosporus rule: why only the bosporus? This is a handicap for te axis. Maybe a house rule: hazardous passage between enemy held straights.

Subs: next to useless in AA50?  Suggestion: keep the first strike capability even if enemy DD's are present (other rules the same). But those hits can not be applied against DD's.

It would be nice to have the opportunities to wage a battle of the Atlantic/ Pacific) and set up a strategic bombing campaign. With both sides having to commit resources to set up such a strategy or defend against it.

  Does 6 Infantry and 2 Artillery count as Navy?

The largest problem I see with building ACs with germany is subs.

UK can drop a fleet of up to 7 subs, or replacing 2 subs with a bomber.  Germany starts with no DD, all UK has to do is drop enough subs to sink the fleet and buy bombers, then sink it on UK2 OR force germany to buy all DDs on turn 2.  I would recommend 3-5 subs as UK plus a bomber or two, bye bye german fleet, onward to the med!
