thanks for linking that, I didn't even realize you had a thread like that up. We [tea maker machine and i] pretty much have the same thoughts and ideas.

My only problem with conscripts is that their attack damage is not all that good until they get vet3. Penals on the other hand bring in about 2x attack force + flame damage.

Only at close range. The versatility of the script squad trumps any benefit given from the SVT imo.

The reason why I use guards here is to make sure I have some proper AT until I get my tanks out and since I got no Zis gun when I go T1.

This is also fundamentally why I don't bother with T1, unless it's a 1v1 and I plan to use snipers.

It's a toss up, guards and shocks either or are very powerful and utilized correctly, you'll be in good shape. Just whichever you prefer, bearing in mind if you run up on a 221/2 or a 250/7 you'll probablllyyy want guards


An alternative strategy would be to go for T1, and then T2 for Zis until you get your heavies, totally skipping T3 and 4. How do you deal with PIV when you only go for 4 conscripts+2 shocks?

Not my speed. PiV's don't bother me in the slightest, 1 ZiS is more than enough to deal with it effectively, and even without, AT nades will make it think twice about diving in on you. Even guards on the flank and it's had it.


My basic build I use for 1's and 4's is:
- 4 scripts.
- atnades.
- elite infantry squad or weapons team.
- Zis Gun.
- t70.
- is2 or 34/85's.
- supplement elite infantry as necessary.
