Oh, this is sad. I did play some WiC some years ago, it was very fun. That's why I like SP strategy games more (like civilization and such), they usually are "atemporal"
Speaking of which, WiC's singleplayer was actually pretty decently written.
A Panzer III would be more thematically appropriate for Ostheer. CoH2 has been sorely lacking a Panzer III since it came out. How did they try to portray the early Wehrmacht without their workhorse of a tank? It's not too late: Vote Panzer III for Wehrmacht Light Armour!
Yes i did try, but having to coordinate all that is micro overload when all these players do is just simply Attack move and call it a day.
I've managed to win like that, but the burden will always be on me to multitask to no end, while he spams shreks, abilities and tanks.
Two HMGs is pretty much the easiest counter to them. Put them in a control group behind your frontlines, have them attack-move blobs back when your frontlines see them.
