Does anyone else think that the current commanders are badly missing an early munitions ability; as in something that you pop around the 5-8 minute mark to try and swing an engagement or break a position as per strafing run, off-map arty, FTFL?
I find that at the moment I end up banking quite a bit of munitions with no decent way to spend it other than sticking a flamer thrower on everything or spamming grenades/at abilities. I also quite like how with CoH1 you could pop a doctrine to get that early game win with a special ability but at the cost of having your doctrine countered by your opponent.

Currently CoH2 has no commander abilities that leads to early/mid-game situations like these:
"Great, I just got 3 cps and 150 munitions, now I'll drop offmap on his position!"
"Argh I need AT, give me AT-drop now!"
"Oh **** I'm getting flanked, I'll prop-war him / use FTFL!" or
"I need a vehicle now, gimme that StuH!"

But if you're ever halfway through a game and you say to yourself "wow I really hope that when I tech up to tier 4 I can buy a really expensive tank" then CoH 2 is the game for you!

I never had problems with spending munitions since I play with Jaeger Infantry Axis Commander in most cases and I create lots of standard grenadiers.
One grenadier can take an MG for 60, Ambush ability for 30 and Jager rifles for 60 thats a total of 150 munitions per Jaeger Grenadier. Very expensive but they kill conscripts by the dozens. By the time I get to artillery barrage I usually don't have lots of munitions left so I stop upgrading then to save some.
Plus I would not like to have an artillery strike on level 1. That could lead to way too easy rush possibilities to be healthy.

I feel like there are several ways to spend munitions early, but you don't have to, so its just a decision you can make. Units have individual abilities, mines, some small upgrades that can keep your munitions low until you unlock bigger things.
