Hey guys, check in here with a post. Let's figure out what evening is best. My plan is that the four of us get together once a week in Ventrilo and watch your replays, providing feedback along the way. The start time will be 9pm CEST. Available days are Tues, Weds, and Thurs, so let me know which day is best for you. Hopefully we can all agree on one of those days.

Thursday would be great for me since its before Friday and I feel more relaxed after work.
Also a question how much time we will spend on this per week in hours?

Enough time to watch 1 replay each, so say 2 hours? Thursday works for me. Let's hope the other guys can make it then. BTW, come in Vent any time and introduce yourself to a Vent Admin so you can get guest tags (this allows you to move channels on your own).

Will do, as soon as I get home from work.

Hello guys, any of the days are fine for me, looking forward to meeting you.

So where are you guys from? I'm originally from Los Angeles, now living in Berlin, Germany, for the last 8 years.

Well i guess this is a good place as any to shortly introduce myself.
I'm Andrei, 27 years old, i live in Galati, Romania. I started my own business about a year and a half ago. It's a very interesting project, as we are designing a new type of game for kids, some kind of 3d puzzles (somewhere between LEGO and Origami). There's a lot of work to be done, but at the moment it looks very promising as we contacted two important german companies (HABA and Ravensburger) and they are interested in reviewing our products.

Regarding my Company of Heroes experience, my first contact with the game was in the later stages of SNF4 when i randomly stumbled upon the twitch channel. And i loved it, so i guess you can imagine the amount of excitement i have to be working with you Ami.

I am Nicolas, 23 years old. Was born and raised in the Motherland for 8 years, after that I moved to Greece for another 3 years and now live in Cyprus for 12. I work at a software developments company called MetaQuotes.

As for CoH experience I stumbled on it in a Net Cafe I was working 4-5 years ago, but it was a cracked edition so we could only play LANs.

Been talking to asoki on Steam so all are accounted for. First meeting will be Thursday Aug 1 at 2100h CEST. Your homework is to play some automatch and save a replay from a game that you lost. Best is if it's a game you lost by a narrow margin. The 4 of us will meet in Vent and we'll all watch 1 replay from each of you.

See you then.

aug 1 21h gmt +2 ok.

Akosi, you coming in to vent?

Very nice first session guys. I enjoyed it.

Akosi, I hope you can join us next week.

Tomorrow I got the ESL match same time with the session. What do you think Ami? Should I skip the session or the tourney?
To be honest the tourney is a total disaster =(

You should play the tourney. If it finishes, join us and we'll watch the reps.

Okey dokey master Jedi =)

Hey guys.
Unfortunately i won't be able to attend this week's mentoring session, as something came up and i will be out of town until monday.

I managed to get some replays :

1) Raven vs Sage of the Six

This one is around 20 minutes long. I am playing as Ostheer using T1 and T2 fighting T-70 rush.

2) Raven vs Sage of the Six

Another short game (20 minutes), me playing as soviets this time. Same idea as last week, going for T2 and T3 play. Also i'm trying the Anti-Infantry Tactics Commander, the goal being to have Fear Propaganda Artillery to support my t-70. The lategame focus here is: t-34s and AT guns to counter armor and mortar, t-70 (kv-8 later) and doctrinal abilities as anti-infantry. Also Fear Propaganda forcing a Pak to retreat is kinda silly

3) Raven vs I am an Owl
A 50 minutes game, where the gameplan is the same as before. What i do different is that i skip the 2nd engineer squad, molotovs, at nades and build a fuel cache to allow me to get the t-70 out faster. Hero of the game is the mortar squad, that becomes a beast when he reaches vet1. The precision strike ability is so powerful and will have a big impact taking out capping units and other stationary squads (mgs, mortars, paks). I sacrificed quite a number of t-34 to disable the opponent's panthers allowing me to hold my territory. I made use of some mines, but i feel i need more of them, and my kv-8 cleared out 2 panzergrenadier squads with a lot of vet and shreks. I have a hard time finding the suitable moment to invest in some Shock Troops, if i call them in in the early game i won't have enough manpower to get my t-70. Using them too late, they will have a hard time fighting vet troops. Also i forgot to get the healing upgrade (very bad).



Again, i'm sorry i can't attend this session, but if you find the time to check out at least one of the games where i play as soviets and offer some feedback would be great.

We could reschedule to another day. Monday, perhaps?
