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.
What to do with my German Navy?

Take out the capital as soon as you can is my goal. My axioms are things I try to keep in my mind to acheive my goal.
1st Axiom “When in doubt as to what to buy, buy INF.”
2nd Axiom “Sink any naval units you can as soon as practical and that is still to slow.”
3rd Axiom “See that your naval units don’t meet Davy Jones alone.”
4th Axiom “All other axioms are useless if you don’t defend your capital.”
5th Axiom "Stay on target. Pick a goal and stick to it.
6th Axiom “Be more concerned with the sure paths to defeat than the uncertain paths to victory.”
D. Fox might wish to take No 4 to heart. :evil:
I would be curious to hear any axioms that any one else has. I would also be curious to any thoughts on my axioms.

My axioms are:
1st Axiom Don’t do something stupid.
2nd Axiom If you did something stupid, don’t do it again.
3rd Axiom If you’re still doing the same stupid thing…STOP!!!
4th Axiom If you can’t stop doing the same stupid thing, lock your game up in the closet.
:roll:

When you are pulling all of your forces out of your capital to move them somewhere, and you are ABSOLUTELY SURE that no enemy units can reach… and you have triple checked and NOTHING can reach…
Leave a couple of INF behind… just in case you missed something :-)
(I lost a game of Classic that way once…)

jsp4563 that is an excellent set and I will be adopting number one as one of my own axioms. Perhaps this should have its own thread?

I’ll admit to the first one for sure. Although, my mistake was more… an oversight than anything. :-P Which, of course, cost me the capital in the second round, from whcih I was never never never able to recover fully. :-o
