Became kind of a fan of this channel, very easy and entertaining to listen to.

I recently realized that I don't really have an approach to my capping order. I play 1v1 on a fairly modest level, mostly with OKW and occassionally with USF. I feel I have to choose between blobbing my first units over the map capping relatively slowly but with enough units in case of an engagement, or spreading out my units and capping more but being in a bad position in case of an engagement due to my spread out units. With both options in the end being bad for my map control.

Can someone perhaps give me some insight on how to approach capping orders?

Hi there,

I have a couple of doubts on how to handle Semois(ky) Summer with OKW:

Capping order and use of sturmpio's
I am not sure where to send my sturmpio's best. Either to garisson the church directly without capping the territory in between and have the vg's cap the connecting territory or capping the territory up to the center island and wait for the vg's?

I usually only cap my own fuel once I feel I can spare a unit from the fight in the center. Perhaps it is better to have a vg squad capping it right away?

Truck placement
I set up my BGHQ usually at the territory point in the center, closest to my base. But I don't know where to put the Schwerer best?

From what i've read and heard about it, one is supposed to be able to kick some butt with the earlym20.. But I find that not so easy to do, especially vs Ost since one faust already forces me to retreat it. Does someone perhaps know a good replay with someone executing m20 pressure well ?

I'm about the same level as you, so no expert either, but I watched your replay. Actually you seem to be dominating early game and around the 18min mark you seem to lose control and the game snowballs to your disadvantage. Stuff like that happens to me too without explicitly knowing why, same as I dont always really know why I am winning.

But looking at your game I get the idea that the main cause was his harrassment and capping at your cutoff, forcing you to move your army around in a disadvantageous way and then losing control. Perhaps you should have gone more for his cutoff, more forcing him to fight at a spot that you want him to fight and him being in the defense instead of you. He has a lot to lose if he doesnt get his cutoff point back, but it's not so important for your own income.

An option could also be to stay longer at tier 2 and go for the JP. While it's shit versus infantry, it does cover your ass against most vehicles and can be of use for you the whole game as it's not so easily destroyed.

Lastly, you could also go for the commander that has the Ostwind and jaegers. That way you can stay even longer at tier 1 going for JP and Ostwind (so both anti infantry and anti armour) and thus saving the fuel needed for the Schwerer.

Just my 2cents
