I think this is a great Idea from Nullist and should be repeated every weekend or bi-weekly.

See His thread: http://www.coh2.org/topic/5876/weekend-challenge-stugs

We should also try and collect the data/results and pin a thread or have a section on the website where we can document the information, example:

-Best and worse strategies found with the unit
-Rate the unit on 10 for it's value/versatality
-Best replays of the weekend
-Have we found any bugs etc...

On my part, I'll try to follow these challenges and stream them:

I may begin casting commented replays, depending on time/interest constraints.

Glad the challenge inspired you, and I have no problem with some other existant caster takin up the idea of promoting unorthodox play/doctrines/units in order to explore the meta. For example, Imperial Dane, in particular, has been pushing more Stug play coincidentwlly at the same time I issued this challenge.

Closed and open beta, unfortunately, involved players mostly just exploiting and playing existing unbalances to their advantage. I prefer that people test/push the meta with creative and different strats/builds.

You have my ratified and complete permission to lose when doing so, and my explicit and deserved congratulations if you manage to win!

No matter how much an asshole the winner is towards you, nor how other players find your strats silly; I got your back, bros.

Go out there and positively experiment and flex the meta to its limits.
Tired as shit of people repeating the same system exploitative crap.

Play different, make a difference.

Hey I like this idea, I missed being able to try this one out this weekend though. Maybe we make this a weekly rather than weekend challenge? Anyway I'll mess around with this until the next one is posted.

The bulletins should be discussed too. For the Stug challenge there are +2% damage, +8% armor pentration, +5% build rate and veterancy gain, +6% rotation and +2% damage, and 10% build rate. Perhaps the number crunchers can tell us just how much this helps.

I like these threads much more than the "everything is OP!!1" threads.

It's not a real weekly challenge series until you come up with a clever title, preferably containing a pun of some sort. :p

Well Day[9] has his Funday Monday challenges (or did? it's been a while since I watched him). Maybe they could be called Weekend Warrior Challenges? Something like that?

Love the idea of it being an ongoing thing. I recommend alternating the faction from week to week.

Awesome idea, I'm down for testing out different strategies. In that same line of thought, ImperialDane has posted several casts on his youtube channel featuring games from players that have utilized smoke screens effectively.

Here is my favorite game from that series - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odhsOmxofNI&feature=youtu.be

This weekend is the 1v1 tournament on Langreskaya, so should we only plan something for next weekend ?

How about this coming weekend challenge, we should look into a Soviet Unit.

I suggest: Penal Battalion or KV-8 Flamethrower Tank

I'm asking now so maybe I can create an image for it and ask the mods if they can add it to the news section.
