Thread: Tips vs Mortars and Scout Cars3 Jul 2013, 00:41 AM Adder you are awesome, thank you so much for the help and tips. Yes absolutely I see the difference between the builds, I will definitely check the post build order and plan accordingly. I'm also reading through your blog some more, lots and lots of helpful tips on there it's fantastic. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: Tips vs Mortars and Scout Cars2 Jul 2013, 13:07 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2013, 18:52 PMAdder Minor note on terminology: you can't really "spam" four different units (mortars, scout cars, MGs, grens). That's just an army composition. Noted, thanks. Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2013, 18:52 PMAdder Your (AI) opponent has made a considerable investment into early game units, both in terms of manpower and fuel. On the strategy-level, I'd say play defensively (hold 50% of the map, or at least your fuel), build a fuel depot and pump out a T-70 ASAP. That will easily crush the entire opposing army, and you can follow up with T-34 against his T3 vehicles. Straight up Maxim spam should easily be able to hold him off if you use them defensively and to support each other. Maxims kill scout cars pretty fast. Should I avoid placing them in structures then? I tend to lazy out and plunk them into whatever house is nearby... Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2013, 18:52 PMAdder Tactically, make sure to keep moving your MGs to prevent them from being bombarded. If I think a mortar is nearby, I immediately pick up and move the MG after suppressing an enemy squad, then redeploy. I like your blog with all the tips and tricks, yeah I tried the Maxim Su85 combo but it seemed to falter when faced with panzer grenadiers and panzers. Needed more micro tbh, and better positioning on my part. Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2013, 18:52 PMAdder edit: I'll add that I'd keep the # of Conscript squads low, somewhere between zero to two. Against that build you'll likely bleed manpower more and not do anything constructive. What doctrine would you go with? I'm guessing HTD would be useless. Thank you so much for the reply and advice.

Thread: Tips vs Mortars and Scout Cars1 Jul 2013, 16:08 PM I'm new to the community so I will start by saying hello . I've been playing COH since its inception and just plain love the series. In order to make the transition into COH2 I've been practising vs the A.I. a lot - yes I know not the greatest way to do it but one which I thought would be least embarrassing......until now So I seem to have a problem with the A.I. (Ostheer) on Hard diff spamming mortars (counter maxims), scout cars (need heavy micro to be dealt with), MGs (pin to win) and grenadiers (clean-up). This results in cutting off my resources while slowly advancing like cancer. Any tip on how to specifically counter them with T1 - T2 soviet units while not sacrificing resources to delay my advance to T3? Any tips on how to micro & or what to build would be appreciated I've lurked enough on here to establish that the common soviet starting strat is the Engi / Conscript to T-xx tanks.
