I'm looking for Ostheer specific strategies that can somehow soak up all or most of that spam and possible spit it back out at the soviets.
So I just started playing the game again after about a year away, and the first thing I noticed was MG and Weapon crew spams, by Soviet and British players and US rifle blobs. I play mostly 3v3's
I struggled, but i find a quick flame half track is enough to push the early game MG's and rifles off the field.
build order:
MGx1 (the build t1)
Grenx3
Base upgrade
Halftrack- convert to flamer
Panzer gren x1
Pak.
Use the flame half track to push off weapon teams and press an advantage, my half tracks don't live long maybe 5mins, but in that time they usually reach vet three and have on average 20 kills, by this stage I'll assess the situation, either go for ostwinds or p4, sometimes I'll skip to T4 and get panzerwerfers, depending on how hard the enemy is blobbing
go easy on the muni's until you get the flame upgrade for your half track, you want that upgrade asap, after which I lay teller mines as sometimes a Stuart
or m8 will appear to counter the flamer. The idea of the flamer is to push away the early weapons teams and thin out whatever units they have to buy some time or breathing space, of course always support it with some grens.
I hope this helps.
Cheers.
Glasnost.
