Hey there,

in 3vs3 we faced some enemies being able to let our infantry flee and we got overwhelmed by the american and sovjet blob. What is this ability? I wud like 2 know that.

youd have to be more specific. did you have okw sturm officers? when killed, those force surrounding units to retreat.

if not, it was most likely fear propaganda, a soviet call in.

that sounds like sowjet fear artillery (basically arti shells that fire propaganda) that stuff suppress and force your units to retreat, anything else i dont know on allied side

If it was US you or someone will of been using a Sturm offizir and when his model dies (not his bodyguards, just him) he forces all nearby infantry to retreat altho I think this only effects the player who has the offizir's infantry.

Forced retreats are caused by:
- Soviet Fear propaganda artillery (can also suppress and/or pin units).
- Sturm officer ability can be used on 1 enemy unit to force it to retreat.
- Death of sturm officer will cause surrounding squads to retreat.

Alright, maybe our sturm officer dieded! Because there was only 1 sovjet but without the doctrine for fear propaganda. Thank you!

Yeah its to stop op blobs, i mean the bonus is pretty sick, sturms even at range can hit so easy with that officer and his radius is pretty big so you can keep him out of danger most times.

Coupled with fus g43s and obers it really is a blob that does damage but i still never buy em due to the retreat shit if he dies randomly xD

C'mon man, he just asked a question on gameplay. That's what the forums are for.

Hey Frikadelle. If you didn't see any pamphlets, it's probably your Sturmoffizier. First ten times it happened to me, I thought it was a bug!

The propaganda says that the chopp are free in the base.

The sturmofficer never dies, but some ocassions they wanna go to base drink schnaps, is a crazy alcohol.
