USF Versus Garrisons Early Game

Anyone got any good advice for countering garrisons as USF without doctrinal flamers? The mortar seems to be the obvious solution but it doesn't seem that effective at damaging garrisoned squads. Both OKW and Ostheer have non-doctrinal flame weapons so if they want a house it's not too hard for them to get into it. And once they're in it's a pain to get them back out.

Mortar.

as shadowlink said, mortar. Grenades are option too but they will cost you lots of munitions in the end.

Just a correction, OKW has not non-doc flame weapons.

I think he's referring to the incendiary grenades

Mortar smoke, dumb as it is but you know USF is a special snowflake that shouldn't be able to force off garrisoned units.

So Mortar smoke so the garrison is useless at firing at you, you can cap back your territory safely.

Yeah, you are right. He could be referring to them.

You can also use the Mortar HT as another doctrinal solution - Vet 0 White Phos. is more effective at quickly forcing out garrisoned squads than regular barrages and the 80 range is a lot less micro intensive.

Rifle Commander also has Rear Echelon Troops with Flamers though that commits you to a doctrine. Somewhat worth it on garrison-heavy maps. Assault Engineers can also upgrade to flamers. You can't get around using a doctrine for a quick clear but USF mortar is good and almost always necessary for smoke anyways to beat MG's so it's not too big a deal.

Pak Howitzer also gets White Phosphorous rounds as well with some vet but that's mid-game.

Mortars, flamethrower Rear Echelons and Assault Engineers, Bulldozer Sherman, and as a final solution, M20, or Mechanized Company's WC51 cars with a squad in it. You can also just get close, encirle the building and fire. Just make sure to take cover. It works

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy
