DISCLAIMER

This game is hard!

Try to follow these good strategy lines to win your first game:
-Define reachable objectives
-Focus your efforts on a clear direction
-Stop attacking when your units are exhausted
-Don't send vast armies in areas where you can't supply them

The German did all these 4 mistakes, that is why they lost.

If you keep losing, you must be German, (that is the best explanation).
If so, act like a real german general : blame Hitler!
(not yourself, nor the game)

Have fun!
