I gave it some thought last night, might go with LMG - G - Mortar (gasp) - then tech up and get pak 38. While I'm waiting I'll get a command bunker up and running to resupply.

i switched BOs to
LMG - Gren - Gren - Mortar - Upgrade - Scout Truck - Halftrack - anti tank - panzerGs

usually its decent. the Gs can hold off the trucks for the most part, while mortar is generally a pain in the arse for the others.

Basically hold off until the scout truck/flametruck/AT emplaement is up and running. try to tank our 1 or 2 of their vehicles and then immediately counter.

I dunno, I should have screencapped what made me so mad last night. I have two grenadiers use the panzerfaust ability on a flame halftrack and it damages engine and takes it down to about 1/8 health. I ordered my guys to pull back and try another shot but they went into suppression mode when the flame hit them and it killed both units. It was unbelievable.

The reduced range guaranteed that the halftrack would be on top of me by the time the shots hit it, nothing I could do. Gonna try to work out the kinks of this build order soon.

soviets were owning me early all day before i switched to double grenadier early.

weve just got to figure out a better way to hold them off until we can get our StuGs and Panzers up.

try to place Grenadiers inside LMG cone of fire and bait the flametrucks to come closer i guess. Hope that once the engine is damaged, mortar has made it to the spot and can get a shot off on it. When the truck goes down, push!

I played a fricking lot yesterday too much fun.

I was south.....again

I went LMG - G - Mortar - pak

I got pushed back by the flametruck but had built a command bunker and the player fixated on destroying that while I brought the pak into range. Worked pretty well as I hammered some infantry who were suppressed with the mortar.

thank god.
never knew how important skype was for this game until we didnt have it

when that soviet flame halftrack rushes you at bottom fuel , i can come lend a grenadier squad quicker!

or at the least we can coordinate our attacks and repairs better.

hope i can play tonight!

I feel like the stars have aligned to allow us a good CoH2 session - which means something will go wrong
