Thanks for the help guys! In the end I decided to bind it to the ½-key so it is right near my left had grid-controls.

I'm still working on getting used to using the strat map, but I feel like it is helping me keeping an overview of my units

Isn't this the logical outcome if you rebind your spacebar to numpad0??
Just think about it, everytime you press space it will produce a 0 instead of your intended empty space, as long as the script runs. I personal recommend binding the tac map to one of your mouse buttons, this way you can still type in chat and be polite
If you want to keep it on your spacebar try switching it (numpad 0 on spacebar, spacebar on numpad 0).

Well I don't really mind my chat being infested with 0's I can work around that

The thing is my chat seems to disable the ability of using the strat map on the spacebar, which seems a bit strange and quite annoying.

I might change it to the mouse key though, but how do I know which commands are attached to which mousekeys. My mouse, like I imagine is the case for many others, has several small buttions on the side, not just the two primary ones and the mouse wheel.

I could imagine a decent strat vs USF could be osttruppen spam, supported by a 251HT for quick replenishment and on site healing rather than retreating to the med-bunker.

Used right this could give a serious initial push for map control in the early game and would put deprive the us player of any serious counters until the stuart.

Hello fellow gamers.

Me and my friend play on occations and are almost at the same level skillwise. I would love if some of you fine gentlemen would take the time to watch this replay and give some feedback on what could have been done differently (as well as the occational praise if you see something you deem was well done).

For the sake of eliminating any potential bias I'll refrain from telling who is who in this match, also since we could both need the feedback that you could give us.

Best regards and thanks for your time.

The backbone of the accursed sim city is the deadly bofors!

It is annoying as fuck and I really think that it is too powerful at wiping on retreat! They might want to consider lowering its damage and give it some suppression instead.

When you're facing the cancer emplacement doctrine, the mortar ht often won't do the trick as the incendary round will bleed you of your much needed munitions and the damage is somewhat negligible if they manage to brace in time.

spotting scopes are nice, because you can get vision on the bofors and shoot it down with AT guns and stugs, or if you want to do it even sooner, then scout with a sniper (Remember to activate hold fire).

Bear in mind though, that if he has a mortar emplacement close to the bofors then you need to reposition your AT gun after each shot, so he dosn't wipe it, thus making the stug more viable.

One of my personal favorites for dealing with it, is if they build the bofors at a place with a blindspot. Then I build a flamer HT and either attack ground directly at the bofors through the shot blocker (if it is something like trees) or if it is an impenetable shot blocker like a wall, then I attack ground right next to the bofors, so it is still affected by the flames. But be caredul, because if the bofors gets sight of you it will wipe in a single volley.

The bottom line of annoyance with the sim city strat, is that it takes much more skill to counter than it does to implement, and even though I win more that loose when I face it, the matches are much less enjoyable and uninteresting because the opponent is just much more passive and focused on fortifying strategic points rather than trying to actually engage and outplay me.
