I still feel like the tournament was played before the Ostheer started to counter the Soviet play. There were obviously some things out of wack, but it was not un-winnable.
That said, the gren-spamming from Germans, into PIVs is not exactly an exciting metagame either...
BTW, does HTD still stack with cover modifiers? I wish they would hotfix that and the Assault Support Commander's Strafe (sound like a broken record I know).
