...Now, if VonIvan would of instead made LMG grens and not pgrens...

fun fact:
Average CPM of Hans was almost twice as high as Ivan's at 56.6CPM to 28.5CPM

Dropped shrecks won the game.

btw Hans, why no early mines ? you floated a lot of munis, was it for a reason ?

That's what he usually does. He stomped Hans 3 times in row before this game with those.

I think this game came down to infantry unit preservation in general.

+1

Dropping schrecks was just the end result of a long series of engagements where VonIvan kept losing his infantry squads. In effect, his army was not only much smaller but also unvetted, which eventually decided the outcome.

As for going for lmg grens instead of a halftrack - it could be argued that either might have worked if the halftrack was actually used to dominate the map instead of being thrown away to no effect by rushing the base.

Still, very well played on both sides. Very entertaining.

Ivan lost too many squads and threw away his FHT in base early (maybe going for the jugular hoping for a quick win?) but it still didn't matter (there were missteps on Hans' part as well) because what it came down to in the end after the last all-in tank battle, was 2 vetted PIVs of Ivan's still standing, vs. none on Hans' side. The dropped shreks on vetted infantry (vet 3 shocks, vet 2 or 3 cons) allowed Hans to finish off those two tanks, rather than allow them to be repaired. If Ivan had 2 vetted PIVs still in the game, he would've had a good chance at winning. There is so much RNG in CoH2 that it seems like it is bound to affect the outcome in most tight games of equal play on each side. Agreed on very entertaining to watch though.

This is not a pride post. I only ever post games that are worth watching where both sides played well.

Ok Hans I call BS on this one. Or can you link me to a couple of replays you posted where you actually lost, but were "worth watching"?

Not meaning this in a disrespectful way, but let's see this for what it is: You were very happy you beat Von after a long long game, and you wanted to build on this feeling by posting it on coh2.org. Which is just fine btw ;-)

If I could search my previously uploaded replays I would. Also if I was pride posting surely I would have posted the other game where I beat Ivan the other day...
