do not build inf. it is a waste of money if you plan to go on the defensive from the beginning you might as well not play build tanks if it is russia restricted attack Russia 1st turn if it is not RUssia restricted attack RUssia 1st turn to win the war Russia must be destroyed befor America gets to Strong!
(1) Infantry is a better unit than tanks. There are some web pages around doing alot of statistics and evaluation.
(2) Please, use pnctuation. It hurts to read your posts without any full stop or comma.

If RR, the odds against a German win are pretty high, and also assume (if I remember right, taking fighters as a loss, major don’t) and if not RR, then Russia is most likely going to have done something that will have made the attack on Karelia unfeasable anyway.
Falk is right about the infantry. It is not Germanys job to destroy Russia it is their job to keep the allies occupied while Japan gets huge. Buy lots of infantry and keep Russia weak, but don’t try to march into Moscow until Japan has taken most of asia.
no ifantry is a wate of money tanks are the way of victory

Depends… I have seen the all tank strat fall apart because Germany is encumbered with Sea and Land problems in the Med and Atlantic as well as Africa… You are not seeing what the I nfantry are for… 11 Infantry 2 nd Turn fortifying E europe is a nice mix when the rest is Armor… plenty of cannon fodder for Offense and Defense… Plus if W. Europe needs Fortification, Why was 5 IPC’s rather than 3…

The whole “inf vs. tanks” diversion is somewhat pointless.
A good German player will purchase and use an appropriate combination of armor and inf. If not, they will find their armor quickly depleted by a hit-and-run style allied defense. All territory that they take will be at a significanly inflated price (3 for the price of 5). Let’s say i have 2 russian infantry on Ukraine. You attack it with 2 arm, no inf. Furthermore, let’s let you have it with no losses. I can take out both tanks with 2 inf and 2 ftrs, losing 1-2 inf. You lost 10 ipcs in arm (gained 3 for UKR). I lost 6 ipcs in inf (gained 3 for UKR). I would happily exchange 6 ipcs for 10 with germany all game, especially considering that the allies tend to have an income of roughly 85 to axis of roughly 70 for much of the game.
your odds here suck, my friend.
the stastics are stacked against me I agree but Germany must be very aggresive if not it shall be destroyed this is not only the way it was in reality (as soon as germanies expansions stopped it ended) but countless games inf I still find are a wast airforce and tanks

really, it can be only so aggressive.
A third turn “aggressive” Germany will be shredded by a 1-2-3 allied punch.
Discretion, my friend, is the better part of valor.

If I can interpret this the way it should have been typed: Not only content to advocate purchasing only tanks, you now suggest adding air to that? If we’re still talking about Germany, there’s no way they can be adding air to their forces in the early game, and besides, their starting Luftwaffe should be plenty.
