No, I want bad play to be punished. Blobing shouldn't be rewarding in any way. I don't mind 2 sqads taking out HMG due to successful flank but I want a blob going straight on on MG42 position to be punished. No matter how big the blob is.
no you can't balance the game like this because hmg cost ONLY 240
all i see is a german player, who just want to lock an army with only 240 req. Your 240req hmg is just overwhelmed by a bigger force, thats all, hmg can already counter 2x their price, and i'm ok with it, but don't expect to lock all the map with 240req unit wich require no skill to be used
your hmg is overwhelmed? fall back and bring your force, HMG already slow your enemy advance, and its the goal.
