I've only played a few games as OKW and have some questions for the people who play a lot of 1v1's. The smaller maps and no OST teammates mean not a lot of munitions and seem to force some hard choices.

1) 3 volks or 4? Does it depend on the map?
Cant put a number on how many volks you should get,up to you and your strat.(Do you want fusiliers as well?Are you going double sturms?)
Do you upgrade them all right away or wait until armor out?
Against USF and T1 soviet base splat upgrade right away,if against soviet T2 do not upgrade until you see T3 vehicles
2) Do you buy the ISG? I've been buying one but it seems to kill less than an OST motar but costs twice as much. If you don't, how do you counter Soviet mortars, who seem to bleed OKW like crazy (my micro isn't good enough to keep all my units moving all of the time).
when ISG is used against me this patch its seemingly a worthwhile purchase,good engagement winner if it hits and inflicts suppression,even if it doesnt kill anything
3) If you get a ISG, do you spot for it with an IR halftrack or a unit like Jaeger Light or Panzerfusiliers?
All of those work,its personal/doctrinal preference. Jaegers would probably be best for cheapness and utility in comparision to the others.
4) If you're pretty sure that they're going Shock Rifle, do you get Jagdpanzer first or Panther?
I would go jagdpanzer because sometimes soviet can burn down your schewer while/or before your panther is built,but they can also burn down your battle group HQ....both are good against IS2s so get either one really.
5) If they've decided to be as annoying as garden pudding and get one or two snipers, how do you counter those? I've tried Jaeger Light but they still seem to bleed manpower badly.
you're simply fucked unless they mess up,same with any indirect fire like 120s,katysuha,or priest.. OKW is up shits creek against indirect fire and snipers.
6) What commanders do you usually have loaded?
Fortifications and breakthrough always,last one would probably be command panther doc for me,JLI doc is good too
7) Is there a map guide somewhere? I've googled for one but haven't been able to find one.
try the guides section to see if the map you want is covered,if not post maps you'd like guides on

1. Units clump closer together in cover than out of it. So it's easier for low aoe explosives (like nades) to wipe squads in cover. Also, cover provides no protection against explosives.
2. Riflemen have notoriously bad formations and tend to clump together even when out of cover.
3. The Riflenade animation is bugged at certain angles. The nade will sometimes fire before the kneel animation.
