But... You know what word "Volks" means, right? Volksgrenadeers and Volkssturm groups were pretty same german "conscripts". Wehrmacht tried to put there as much as possible experienced soldiers, who were injured or doesn't have good health qualities at all, but in late war casualteis were so big - there weren't enough of them. So, they conscripted a lot of civians, who absouletely never fought and had 0 combat experience, passed them through fast combat training, gave them not bad equipment and then sent on frontlines.

But in game, Volksgrenadeers performs veery good, way better than soviet conscripts. Sometimes even better, than usual grenadeers.

Soviet soldiers, from other side, in 1944-45 had really good combat experience after all those years of war. New conscripted soldiers also were trained and trained good - USSR did have time for training soldiers in 1944-45. But not conscripts were real core of Red Army in 1944-45, they had a lot of real good soldiers in action, passed through bunch of campaings and combats. So, mainline infantry of USSR supoused to be not "0-experienced coscripts", but good and tough soldiers, they could call them "Strelki". That was OK to throw unexperienced boys on combat in first years of war, when really mostly all professional army was wiped in first mounths and USSR had to defend itself really hard. But... when counterattack started - that was absolutelty unnecesary.

That perfect combat experience, also, was shown in crushing Japan "Kwantung Army" - biggest Japan army group - by soviet troops in only 1 mounth! 1 mounth!!! Compare it with US army achivments on Okinawa - years of fighing on shiity islands without serious results. Here 1 mounth - and entire Japan army crushed and pushed back from China. That's about "0 exerienced soviet soldiers" in late war.

P.S. Here is some "soviet propaganda" for you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgKazTrhXmI&list=RDzgKazTrhXmI#t=9. For you could understand POWER OF TEH MOTHERLAAAAAND!!!

hi DiePest, just watched your game.

This is my analysis,from a very very bad player, so please don´t take too serious my words and wait for real knowledged players to help you :


First of all, this map was your first enemy, somehow this is a too big map for Ostheer imho, and center is tipical urban map where cqc squads (rifles) are in a big advantage. Plenty of flanking routes there don´t help your mg-42 too.


Unit preservation, this was what drove you to be defeated imho. That green with LMG in his cutt-off around minute 7 mark. Mate, you have green cover there, but you didn´t move your squad and retreated it too late (anyway it was fighting againts two rifles squads, you should have soft retreated it the moment you see both rifle squads coz you know you were to lost that engagement). You have to retreat a green squad with LMG the moment it only has two models. If not, you are risking to be whiped and/or to drop your LMG.

Then one minute after that, you lost a mg-42 in the center and then, at minute 12 mark, in the south fuel, two garrisoned squads in that house covering the south fuel point, his m8 derribed the house with both of them inside.... So at minute 12 mark game was lost.



Mate, unit preservation was the key, you got your fuel and contested his fuel at the early game, you were ahead imho, but then, at 7 minute you start losing squads with no reason....


That guy was more of a "spammy" one than a blobber player tbh. but he kept their units alive while whiping yours....



Anyway, wait for others, because again, I am not a good player, and excuse my bad english...


Good Luck & Have Fun!!
