The only blob I have issues with is the US Forces blob that seems to be the norm for each match against them (at my skill level, at least). I don't run into too many blobs outside them, besides the odd Grenadier blob against the Ostheer.

I'm still learning the game - you can click on my player card - but I am improving. You guys can add me on Steam, I mostly play Ostheer, so we could be sparring partners and practice different tactics.

I have a completely different build order vs the US Forces than against the Soviets. Against the US, I go Grenadier-MG42-Grenadier-MG42, then go to BP1, and equip a Grenadier squad with an LMG42. I like to use Elite Troops doctrine to vet my Grens up to deal with Riflemen better, and move quick as I can to Ostwind's, which can shred US infantry when they are being pinned. Dealing with the blob is everything, it seems.

So on the whole I am enjoying the WFA expansion, and I love CoH2. So don't take this as another thread ragging on the game or on Relic. It's also possible that I just suck and don't know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, I mostly play as the Ostheer (I'd like to be decent at at least one faction!) and since WFA was released, I get mostly US Forces opponents. I like having the US back in Company of Heroes, but I find matches against them to be a sort of grueling grind that in the end just isn't very fun. At least as Ostheer. This has to do with the constant blob attacks I run into in what seems every match. Maybe it's just the level of opponents I'm playing against, but it seems to always play out similarly. Make MG42s, equip Grenadiers with LMG42s, and throw out Ostwinds. Prepare for incoming blobs.

I'm not complaining that it's too hard or too easy; I win some against them, I lose some against them. I do, however, find it feeling repetitive and grindy.

Here's a recent replay of mine versus a US Forces player (yeah, yeah, I know, neither player in it is the greatest example of skill) where it felt like the whole game was just fending off blobs:

Also, because I like it, here's a cool screenshot from it:

This is a great game. There are some issues here and there, and there is definitely room for improvement, but there's endless fun to be had with CoH2. I stopped playing awhile back, too, but recently got back into it. The more the merrier.
