Never said my stats were in anyway better mate, it was just your insinuation that I was some noob who didn't play the game I was trying to point out was false.

"image of blobbing"? What else am I meant to call it then?

This set of 4-5 units coming toward me shooting off shreks at everything isn't a blob at all. of course not!

Dude, you can't deny that large stacks of units being controlled as one body goes against the vision of the game as this tactical RTS.

Blobbing, particularly in larger team games, basically goes entirely unpunished when it's the sort of thing that should. We all hear about these massive human wave assaults which were shot down Machine guns and artillery, that's what blobbing is, given this game is attempting to be to do with WW2, I think blobbing is something you don't want to encourage.

I totally agree with you, but you didn't get the point. YOu said "it should be doctrinal" but it already is. Or in fact you wanted to imply it should stay that way and I didn't understand that.

Sorry, I must disagree with you there.
Blobbing is not just a significant problem for when they're attacking you, but they are also a massive problem when you're trying to push, where their sheer amount of fire power (particularly OKW blobs) will stop your units dead and obviously mines and demos have no chance of being placed.

As I keep saying, the reason blobbing is used isn't just because its for newbs, but also because it doesn't require much micro and gets good results and it forces your opponent into spending a lot of time and micro to punish in turn.

The problem with blobs is that they're dead easy to use and way more difficult to counter. They're not impossible to counter, in fact with the right tools they fold easily, but the lack of skill and micro required compared to what is required to destroyed is what is wrong.
What is more, blobbing goes against the whole spirit of the game and therefore needs to be brutally punished.
