Perhaps the reason why when both players were playing USA, they didn't attempt a major flank or be super aggressive is because the USA game is that much on a knifes edge early that if they screw the flank up or it's beaten back with heavy losses, it's pretty much gg right there, because they will be bleeding manpower like a stuck pig all game. The US has no choice but to gain some sort of advantage early by the way of a flank or capitilizing on a WM mistake, if they don't then they will always push shit up hill to win.
Also imo, all three maps are heavily in the WM favour. Bois has choke points everywhere that can be made to be easily unflankable with use of wire and mines, Semois has always been WM favoured due to it's positioning of houses, choke points and cover. Langres has always been WM favoured due to its choke points that can be wired off and mined to make a flank attempt futile and cause heavy losses.
Absolute nonsense. Semois hasn't been WM favored ever since wire cutters became available from the beginning.
They just both played bad as US, its simple. An unconvincing nades to tank depot, 4 rifles sniper, very poorly executed 3es start... The only little ray of sunshine was DevM jeep on semois, up to the point where he suicided it for no reason.
This Sunday should see some US wins I'm sure.
