Playing against Ostheer

A replay would be useful.

Go to your documents -> my games -> coh2 -> playback, there will be a file called "temp" which is a replay of your latest game. Upload here on coh2.org in the "replays" section.

I've played a couple of games since then so I cannot do it right now, but I'll make sure to upload a replay if a game like that happens again.

The biggest problem early game in my eyes is that I have simply less infantry power than the Ostheer player. When I get my first penal the OH player has 1 gren, MG42 and pioneers when I only have 2 combat engineers (which are nowhere near as effective at combat as pioneers) and a penal squad.
By the time the scout car comes out the OH player is likely to have another squad of grens/AssGrens out to cover the MG. I feel that if I don't make a super effective play with the clown car I simply lose the game outright.

It's not wrong to go with 2 or even 3 penals before a scout car if your not getting enough impact from the early car. I would also recommend checking out some map guides such as This one by Jesulin If you improve your capping order and position your units correctly, you will put yourself in the best chance to win the first engagement. ex. penals coming from two angles, attacking where there will be green cover, using houses to scout or stall.
