As mentioned above, worry less about faction, units and strategy and more about using units in cover. Keep in mind that retreating units that are about to die is extremely important as it costs much less to reinforce (and/or heal) a retreated unit than it does to build a brand new one. Also, units that are retreated and "saved" maintain experience that gives them bonuses and abilities that make them better.

Also, keep in mind that you can get anti armor units for most factions by tier 2. For example, Ostheer has the Pak 40 at tier 2 as well as Panzergrenadiers who can be upgraded with panzershreks. Americans have the crew of the M20 with a bazooka (or you can tech for bazookas as soon as you have the munitions). Soviets have AT grenades in Tier 0 (which you have to purchase and as with bazookas have the munitions to use once the ability is purchased) and the Zis AT gun at tier 2. Lastly, the OKW has Panzershreks and Raketenwerfer in tier 0.

If you are behind in teching, do your best to "stall" the enemy while you work to tech up yourself. If you are unable to tech up it is probably because you are lacking fuel or manpower. This is why fuel is such a key component of the game and it requires fighting to establish a supply line to at least one fuel source.

Lastly, keep in mind if you are going to rely upon specialty "Commander based" units to be a key part of your army you will need to keep in mind that command points must be "earned". The best way to gain command points is to do a lot of fighting. In other words....if you want to get to the point where you can use a unit like Shock troops quickly, you gotta get the command points first and you do this most quickly by getting into skirmishes.

Using the tactical map will help improve your unit awareness. It is default bound to numpad 0 but I recommend using autohotkey to rebind it to a more useful key.

e.g. I have mine bound to mouse button 4

#IfWinActive, Company Of Heroes 2
XButton1::Numpad0
Return
