This sounds similar to the Inverse: Evolution video on YouTube. My real question/concern is dealing with early soviet vehicles. Any ruskie worth his salt with decent micro can kite Grens with M3. Now with reduced range on Faust making it even more difficult to knock one out. Really only worried about M3 and T70.

Thoughts/suggestions for counter?

I'll have to try to experiment with them earlier in my game play. I've always opted to wait until after mortar. I feel as though their setup time and arch of fire are pretty well balanced at the moment. Maybe just not a mesh with my particular play style. I don't utilize them enough and normally have them hold a VP or fuel. I need to try to use them more aggressively. Maybe almost like a tank having Grens and Pios scout while Mg creeps behind waiting for encounter to pounce on. My only other real dilemma is Pgrens, in alpha they were OP, I feel as though they are glass cannons now. Would of liked to see slightly more armor or hp on them.

In the games current state things are fairly balanced imo. There are a few tweaks here and there. Played accordingly though each side can beat the other. Gj!

Hello, please find my general start for Ostheer in 1v1 games.

I will start by building Infantry company asap.

Then building x2 Grens, followed by Mortar then Mg.

In my experience I've found that the Grens help to establish early game map control by offering some resistance to the Conscript onslaught. Hopefully by this time you have one fuel point. As soon as I can start upgrading to T2.

Depending on what I'm seeing from the Soviet, I will follow up with either a pak for light vehicles/ tanks. Pgrens if the ruskie is still flooding me with scripts. Or HT depending on my ammo.

At this time I'm also trying to harass their rear points with lonely pio. Cutting a fuel point or VP here and there to have mr ruskie divert forces away from front to deal with recapping.

Once resources allow T3 then roll out a stung or Ostwind depending on what I'm seeing. Stugs used properly eat T34 or any other Soviets T3 vehicles. Ostwind that is microd correctly will bleed their man power.

At this point if the game is still going then say hello to the Panther. Properly supported with infantry will dominate the battlefield.

My greatest concern is not letting ruskies grab territory at the beginning. If you can at least draw it to a stalemate your options improve as the game goes on as long as you have some fuel income. That should be a priority for you my kraut friends.

Thanks for taking the time to read my preferences for Ostheer 1v1.
