And here I thought we were getting new commanders with AA

How was this thread bumped anyway without a post?

We played North. I don't think it really matters. Axis can dig into either fuel point. It's easier to take the left fuel point if you can make a push into the left side, but it's harder to push the left side. Meanwhile its a little easier pushing the right side and getting the ammo, but good luck taking the graveyard

The ultimate problem was that no matter how on the ropes we were, they simply, by little fault of their own, could not seal the deal. We held on with 25% of the map because of the fuel point and caches and us bleeding their MP

Lol just kidding. 2 ost vs sov/usf on Trois Ponts. The early game was pretty rough and we barely held on, digging into our only fuel point but what could they do? They were too far from their base. We just threw troops at them until they had to pull back a bit. I noticed that while my play vs very subpar, it was much easier than as allies to punish their mistakes. My men were friggen marksmen! 3 allied squads close on 3 of my squads and say 1 of theirs retreats? I just focus fire and annihilate them, then pull back my 3 damaged squads because he cannot finish squads off.

In the middle game, it was simply lobbing rocks at each other out of howie and mortar tubes. Strangely, my mortar had very comparable range and damage to his pack howie, despite the pack being twice the cost. We just went back and forth but their middle game advantage was still there and we each entered the late game with 200 VPs, them holding 2 of them.

Turns out the ISU, backed by 2 Jacksons, is a friggen beast. Too much for a tiger. Too much for 2 tigers. But our shreks meant they couldn't just rush in and, more importantly, severely hindered the Jacksons' abilities to support the ISU. If the ISU pushes, we line the tigers up (we both had a tiger). If the Jacksons close, we shrek em or pak em.

So they had 2 options: 1. Fight static and bleed until our overwhelming superiority could be built up. 2. Fight head on and bleed in CQB while our infantry AT did a terrible number on them. If they do this, we can repair our tanks, while the Jacksons must be replaced for full cost.

They did option 1 after a short while. They ticked us below 100 but it was inevitable. Every engagement we damaged them worse than they us. Their indirect fire, while slightly more powerful, was a lot less effective due to our durable units. Eventually we simply moved in with 3 tigers and smashed them. They liberally used ATGs but offmap stukas made short work of that.

So, I guess I'm playing axis, as I did in vCoH.

But vCoH axis was fun. You had to dynamically move your mgs and volks to watch a flank and tech up to your late game ever so carefully. And if you did get to your late game, it was only a slight advantage. If the American had some lasting compensation from the early game (map control) it was dead equal. Now I just hunker down and wait for tigers. GG

Yeah I went there wanna fight about it?
