On small maps it´s better to place the med-hq inside your base imo.
You lost a lot of time because of the place you placed it and you pretty much forced yourself to ignore the left side.

Mech-hq could have turned this game upside down with 1 or 2 stuka barrages and a bit of luck.

...but oh well it´s always easy to say this or that would have been better when looking at a replay.

thanks for your input. i appreciate the tactical discussion!

i didn't really see the timing of my battlegruppe being an issue. i wanted to build it after my third volks. what would the benefit of a quicker one be? also, every time i tried harassing that flank i ran into a vastly superior force. i wasn't aware of the volume of infantry required against the USF, discussed http://www.coh2.org/topic/34204/the-usf-choke-hold/page/1#post_id325811

No, i didn´t mean the timing when you built the medic-hq, but where you built it ... Your troops had to walk to it after retreat , which is time and attention consuming. If the med-hq is build inside your base you have the opportunity to change the direction of your assaults, atleast after retreats and it enables you to do it very quick and comfortable.

On bigger maps it´s a huge advantage to have the med-hq at a forward position... but on small maps there is no realy big reward for the higher risk, but if you decide to build it outside of your base always put up the forward retreat, without this it´s useless.

Btw: get as many volks as you think are needed vs usf - it´s an uphill battle. I am not a realy good player, but even I have made players ragequit after 3-5 minutes.

How many do you think is required 5? I never seem to have enough MP to do what I want to do. My strategy against the USF and therefore my economy and unit timings aren't quite in line with where i want them to be.
