Test summary from TripleA 20:59:48

Spring 1942.

Had an idea for a G1 build and I’m looking for feedback from more experienced players.

Is ten infantry, one fighter a good idea? My thoughts were that while the fighter is less cost-effective than two tanks would be, it could be used both for fighting on the eastern front and for threatening UK/US ships. I then thought that an inf-heavy build on the first turn would be good because tanks purchased G2 could meet up with the slower-moving inf stack in Ukraine, Belo, etc.  Also, what about 8 inf, 1 art, 1 bomber?

This idea also brings up a broader question: How much should Germany invest in air units? Obviously it varies based on situation, but are there some general principles to follow, especially for early in the game?
