While I agree that this can be a strong strat and has worked for me, the 45MP replacement cost of a PG is just so high. I fundamentally disagree with your assessment of grenadiers. They do not fall off in the slightest - they are a mobile, sturdy unit and can deal high damage with LMG/G43s. With veterancy they become extremely potent. PGs are without doubt the superior infantry but at an extra 15MP per man lost and the initial cost of 360MP it doesn't weigh up well for me.

I watched Tycho's cast of your game, I have to say I'm very unsure about G43s with the standard assault rifles. Makes sense on a double schreck squad but I don't think they're as effective close in. I feel like this is a strat that will be shown up against Soviet players with good micro. It is very, very easy to see it coming and though a lot of people don't rate the Maxim (Tycho again I am looking at you, asshole) I feel like PGs would have little answer to a well micro'd machine gun supported by conscripts.

In the two games I've played against fast T2, I've done a Conscript spam but got T1 instead of T2 and supported with an MG. Suppression and molotovs shut down charging PG's very well. Snipers can also be really useful.

Ultimately its definitely a workable strat, but I won't be using it in my Ostheer games.
