the strat is to sad for words

4th time vs that asian guy, even counterblobling as a mofo doest work

weird game,weird tactics
at the end you got him good with stuka

try capping where they are not all i saw was amove blob towards enemy, lose 4 models from 7 squads and mass retreat
and micro your squads in cover to fend of blob
its easier to defend than attack
etc etc

try to beat cpu hard first

I am watching starcraft

flak HT
luchs
222
mg34
ht for reinforce
either go 0 or 2 mg42, one will get overrun
if you go breakthrough (why would you go breakthrough) always keep your officer in the back.

looking at the replay the axis tried to counterblob but just got outplayed. invest in anti inf vehicles instead of trying to blob.
You shoould blob as axis once you get your lmg42s up and your obers (pfusilliers are bad damage dealers, they are mostly for screening

This whole game in general was "to sad for words". If any sadness in particular stood out, it would be yours, E-zy. You had one Sturmoffizier, surrounded with ~3 Fusiliers and 3 Volks, moving in one big blob, attack after attack. You even could have been successful with that army alone, if you had more Panzerschrecks and spread out here and there.

The vehicle micro was subpar at best: Your Stuka had zero kills even after the third barrage and the Jagdpanzer 4 got shot in the back by a Zis. You may have gotten more use from a 251/17 in the early game. Your Wehrmacht partner wasn't any better: He lost most of his T3 tanks to Jacksons while achieving nothing and couldn't even stop an unsupported KV8 from roaming in your base and getting vet 2 in the process.

There was nothing extraordinary cheap nor revolutionary from the allies, as far as 2v2s are concerned. The US Forces had their blob with somewhat novel 3 double-BAR-Pathfinders, which clashed with your infantry Blob, E-zy - and still lost for the most time. Soviets blobbed 3 Shocks into Katjuscha and IS2. The allies lost the infantry-blob-war, but got much more mileage from their tanks.


I understand that the state of the game especially in 2v2+ and with the new factions in particular can be really sad and disgusting, but please refrain from beeing a hypocrite and talking your opponents down.

guys, let me make this clear. i dont find it sad because i lost or anything, i find it sad since they play the game in such a way it the extreme opposite of the intended game design. I think its just sad that i even have to try to win against this strat. That i failed winning against this massive blob strat is my fault, but thats not my point. indeed, my stuka shots were horrible, indeed, vehicle micro wasnt great, but that still doenst matter. what matters to me is that this kind of strat can used.

second, it was the 4th time to play vs that guy. we tried mgs before, they just get frontal whiped by the 4 pathfinders with bars (retreating is pretty much impossible once engaged). luchs comes out at around the same time as the jackson. we tried more things, yet they all get countered or they come out too late. so this fourth game we tried to counterblob. although we didnt succesfully execute that strat, it still worked better that any other strat tried before.

I used to hate blobbers but after playing all factions a lot i can now counter them fairly well, each faction has good amount of counters against blobbing im surprised its not widely used.. counter blobbing is definitely not an answer although may work ..

But the satisfaction of getting 20+ kills in one shot to well placed counters is unmatched.. i can name the counters but you guys already know most of it..
