Probably the most common BOs are:

Soviets: mixed Cons and Maxims in the early game, with a Guards/Shocks doctrine that includes a late-game armour call-in (ISU, IS2, T34/85s). Possibly go T3 for a T34 if it will punish the opponent particularly hard.

Ostheer: 3-4 Grens backed by Mgs and possibly a mortar. Go T2 for Paks and a light vehicle (222 for killing, halftrack for supporting infantry). Get a squad of Panzergrens if suitable. T3 is usually good idea for a Panzer 4 and/or Stug. Don't build T4 (too expensive), instead get a Tiger doctrine for the late-game.

US: 3-4 Riflemen as core, with BAR upgrade. Whether you go LT or Captain first is personal preference: LT is arguably better/more aggressive early, but can leave you vulnerable to vehicles in the mid-game. Unlock Major for the late game, with Jacksons taking care of late game Axis armour. Exact BO should be flexible, and is largely about which units you like.

OKW: Most common build is 3 Volks -> tech building. Go Battlegroup to get healing and the ISG to counter weapon teams. Go Mechanized for the Puma, which is a truly excellent all-round unit if microed well. Make sure you get Schreks on your Volk squads reasonably early. Late game, OKW usually need some form of elite infantry, either Obersoldaten or doctrinal troops. Either get a Panther, or save for a KT if confident. At least at first, using an MG34 doctine is strongly recommended, since otherwise the early game can be a little weak.

Have you guys actually looked at the games the old team works on for Smoking Gun Interactive?



I think I'll stick with COH2 even if it has its issues.
