So I just had a game where I effectively dealt with american blobbing with heavy combined arms micromanagement. I see a lot of posts here and on reddit asking how to do this so I figured I'd upload an example.
I did end up losing because while I have my infantry/support unit micro down pat, I still have difficulty setting up tank battles in my favor. Specifically I think I lost the game when I lost my first tiger. If you watch the replay you'll notice that this happened shortly after I rammed my p4 is an intentionally bad position.
My thought process was, use the p4 as bait for his armor, have them engage, run into my tiger, all while in the safety of the area close to their base.
Then as my tiger fires shots, call in anti tank strafing over the area (so that his base is included in the area) and hope that, even if I lost my tiger the luftwaffe would finish the armor.
But, as is historical tradition (looking at you evacuation of Dunkirk), the luftwaffe failed miserably. His armor survived and I lost all of mine.
Anyways, note the anti-blobbing techniques, double MG coverage, mines covering obvious flank routes on the MGs, mortar support and AT gun micro to counter offending armor. Also note the constant re-positioning of support infantry to avoid being countered by enemy indirect fire.
I seriously lack the ability to cast, I may try, but if a caster who does 'educational' casts of mid-level play (was lvl 8 before the match) wants to cast this replay and also give me some tips on tank battles that'd be super awesome!
If anyone else has any comments/tips, those are also appreciated. For reference I have about 328 hours in the game, split between 1v1s and 2v2s with friends.
