Howdy,

After a long break due to work and life I'm new video with a fun ending. It's a 2v2 in game with the players in the 500s lots of sub-par plays made but still a good back and forth with some different gameplay. Enjoy!

Hey folks, not my usual jam talking about strategies - mainly because when I play I refuse to play to meta. But recently I started playing a build that seems to play well for once actually pushing me up to 340 for Whermact 1v1 before I got bored and started trying a different strategy. It's very similar to the Ostruppen build orders before except with an emphasis on rushing towards Armour and still getting the Infantry Company to get access to fausts.

Now I'm not really the best at typing long detailed build orders with sick images and guides, nor do I want to. So instead I got a recording of the first times I tried this strategy and talked through my though processes as I watched the game.As I mentioned previously it got me pretty high before I got bored and tried to replace the Ostruppen with Assault Grenadiers.... I'm in the 900's now. R.I.P. Hopes and Dreams

Anyway I digress, I'd like to see your opinions on the strat and how high you'd reckon it could go if played by a half decent player, I'm genuinely curious because though it lacks late game it can get you there quickly, especially with the manpower you save and the defensive utility of the HMG42.



(It's part of my Press T to Retreat series because I don't generally like showing of my silly tactics to the world so effort creating a new series.)

I don't really understand what's wrong was with those doctrines. They were really uniqe and provided to you very specific way of playing. That was interesting, unusual... Right now those doctrines are same boring shit, as all others. I liked Elite doctrine, Industry was only doctrine, that could make T-34-76 spam real, Riflemans with veterancy were sweet...

So much good things they ruined for strange purpouse...

They were changed because they were clear no trainers. Vet Riflemen with access to flame throwers while awesome and thematic were broken as hell. Elite Troops led to massive rage as you weren't punished for loosing veteran units late game, Soviet Industry allowed T-34 Spam, enough said. All these things while fun at low level games become infuriating at high level play - especially when money is on the line. So when the push towards E-Sports began then inevitably the broken doctrines had to be reworked. The thing is a bad doctrine doesn't affect E-Sports to much as they're ignored hence no change.

TL;DR: They broke high level play which is the group of players Relic listens to the most, for good and ill.

Howdy folks, I've got a new video for you all a fun watch full of ups and downs lefts and rights and those moments that make you go whaaaaaaaaaaa?

Anyway without further delay here it is,


If you've got a video you want me to eyeball just message me and if I've got time I'll take a look (bear in mind that I'll be honest with your game).

Interesting choices, honestly that 222 was a very good option. I think it gave you some much needed mobility and counter harass. I felt that your line was getting very tenuous before that 222 came and completely smashed the game open agian. Overall a massively entertaining game.

Shoutcast for those interested in a dissection of the tactic.


I'd love to see more of these tactic especially that Brumbar since it deals with most early AT so well. At least against Soviet Union. Also those stun grenades combo really well with the MG's and Brumbar but can you give me your mindset into the Stormtroopers? I thought they were inferior to Pzrgens.
