Losing After a Very Good Start

Hi all,

I need help deciphering this game because I started the game off in the best way possible, taking my opponent's fuel and munitions, pushing all his Wehr MGs off the map and, planting effective mines and then taking out two of his vehicles. Eventually his pGrens started destroying all my units in a crazy fashion that I wasn't able to put up a fight against. This then began to snowball into my defeat as I lost more and more veteran BAR infantry squads to his pGrens and some tanks too.

Is there anything wrong with my teching order? LT -> CPT -> Pershing
Could I have done something better instead of that in my situation?
How do I fight grenadiers? They were unstoppable against my LT and BAR infantry.

Watch the replay, thanks!

Hi Vannars! I am not a strategist or even a good player. But I have been watching a lot of replays lately and was curious how this went. USF seems to be a troubled faction at the moment. Either heavy early wins or slow losses once tanks show up.

You had a lot of good plays early and pushed your opponent off the map. But you did not kill anything. A few minutes in and your are both at 10 kills each. So you get a false sense of winning. When all you did was delay their teching.

Most of the early game you controlled a lot of territory but your opponent still had4 points and a fuel. So their fuel income was 23 where yours was 26. Again you feel like you are dominating since most of the map is blue!

Early mid game you did really well moving your army around the north side. Many USF players tend to blob and then they lose teching. You did not. You spread out and took multiple points! You could have pushed the enemy fuel more when pushing into the north.

Vilshanka has one important engagement point. The fuel cutoff. That is where you should be focusing 90% of your attacks. Either sweep north and contest the fuel or fight into the cutoff.

PLAYING TIPS
It seemed like your reaction time to grenades was a little slower than your enemy. Could be internet lag or micro. But that led to you taking more damage than you were inflicting.

Several times you rushed the Pgrens with your Bars. Maybe that is an issue since the Pgrens have super high DPS up close? Again maybe that led to the slow bleed.

Cool match it was fun to watch! Hopefully someone good gives you better advice, cheers.

Hi there.

I just want to be that boring guy who makes the reminder that you should upload replay requests to the appropriate thread

This will also make it more likely that potential reviewers will notice it and help you with a proper review (Though Rosborne did a great job in this case).
