I think relic just needs to remove the slow effect on retreating units. The issue with it is that units stuck and wiped in it because they couldn't escape in time. Seems to be the sort of thing they would change with their strides towards removing surprise squad wipes.

Stalling an advance is fine for a battlefield hazard, but blocking a retreat can have catastrophic results for players.

Hmm, good point about the panzer ii. I ought to have gotten it with panzerschreck support. When would you throw grenades though? I like my nades.

I usually only throw grenades opportunistically. I throw one if I'm certain it can't be dodged in time. I would also throw it at a unit in cover or a building that will either be forced to move or eat the blast, which is a win/win with either result being a success. If you can't put yourself in a situation where the grenade toss has only positive outcomes for you, you're gambling with your munitions resource and hoping for a payout.

Grenades are fine when they work, but it's important to consider the cost. Grenades aren't free, and sometimes that's easy to forget. Habitually throwing grenades gets predictable as well, since your opponent will come to expect it. It's a trick that generally works less well with each use.

That was me looking back on how you could've improved your infantry force. I saw that you needed some infantry-held AT weapons to counter the SU-85s, but you couldn't afford them.

I think turbo had a good point when he said a win is a win. If you're looking for more efficiency it's important to nitpick your decisions to try and eliminate faults. It's the little things that can often make a huge difference when you consider how they affect other parts of your strategy.

I think you would benefit from fewer grenade tosses. You threw a lot of unnecessary grenades, and the added cost over time could have been better spent on schrecks for your volks or STGs for your Obersoldaten. Tossing grenades for every infantry engagement is a really costly habit over time.

You might be able to mess with your unit choices as well. You went straight for panthers, but you would have hit harder with an early panzer ii, stuka halftrack or even a sturmtiger. If you loaded your volks up with schrecks early, the panther wouldn't have been needed and you could've pressed the advantage you had with your strong map control using different vehicles.

That's all I can think of, at any rate. Maybe someone smarter has better advice.

Whoops. Playercard should be there now, I think. Thanks for the helpful response.
