The other guys seem to win with brilliant micro on multiple engagements, pathing and mine placement, barbing off cover, building control....basically this grand scheme of intricate game-knowledge honed over hundreds of hours of play.
POP doesn't seem to do any of this. His strategy seems more approachable to someone like myself who loves this game, but doesn't have elite micro skills or time to learn every nuanced mine and demo charge position. Maybe I'm wrong and you keen eyed veterans will say otherwise. I'm trying to figure it out for myself, so here's my thoughts on how he's been so successful:
Round-start he does what most people do, splitting and capping appropriate positions, but very quickly he seems to split his forces into a combat group and a lone capping squad. The combat group pushes the safest side with fuel and a victory point, and pushes all the way on that side, then cuts across to the opponents cutoff. Then he'll back-cap with that lone capping group. He usually wins the engagements with his combat group because they represent the entirety of his forces except for the single harassment squad. It's almost like his strategy is as simple as drawing #7 on the map with all his squads but one. Then back caps with the remaining.
What do you guys think?
