I played this guy literally the match before he beat me, lost to many engineers couldn't back tech or tech up. I guessed he was going to play me the same way, Grens with early hard push along with Jaeger command squad and OST T2 skip into Ostwind.

I go with engi/x3 penal opening, since all his units have snare I decide to skip clown car and focus on beating him when he rushes me. He aggressively caps left side of map and attempts to swing around. I notice area blinking so I pull Penal back to try and catch him out of position. He brings 3 grens to right side of map I have 2 engi and 2 Penals, I push him back hard but lose a engi squad(not again). I decap his points and get his cutoff also to slow him down. He ends up doubling my penal with 2 grens but I threw down satchel which he didn't notice in time and I get a wipe. Game is going my way hard at this point, I get shocks and T70 out and keep pressure up, force some retreats and get lots of map control. He is pretty much holding on to get his Ostwind out.
I build T2, get MG out to control middle building so I have sight to rotate as needed. I save up MP for AT gun since his medium should be hitting about now.

And I fuck up BIG, I mis-clicked and built another MG but don't notice until I see his Ostwind and I am wondering why the FUCK I have 2 MG. I start to Panic and he pushes me hard, I was way ahead in Kills which he quickly starts to catch up. I finally get AT gun out, push where ever his Ostwind isn't and try to slow down his capping. I get out 2nd At gun and decide it is to late for KV8 since I am close to 11 CP and got close enough gas wise. I end up having to stall reinforcements but get out IS2 and quickly get back to playing aggressive. He has Ost/P4 but due to T2 skip he can't push me reliably so I try to bully him as often as I can. He builds a Stug, so we play tag a couple times until I catch his Stug with a PTRS Penal get the snare off and push with IS2, I kill it and the P4 but get snared and he kills it with Stuka dive bomb. Not a bad trade, but not a good one either.

I decide to stall for 2nd IS2, I still got T70 and 2AT guns so I can afford to wait it out. He commits to killing my T70 with his Ostwind, which I promptly kill as well, he dive bombs my At guns, 1 survives and he beats up most of my army. I get IS2 out but it is a lot of work from here. I play it safe and injure his squad and force some retreats, he gets P4 and Stug again. We prod each other but I am struggling with bleed and map control, IS2 is really helping but I start to build T34 to help stop bleed. He catches my IS2 on its own against At gun/Stug and P4 and he rushes me. I reverse to keep frontal armor and beat him up on retreat, I kill the P4 but I am 2 hits away from dying. I manage to get behind him for a second and beat up his stug he gets free hits me. 1 more hit and its dead.

MY lord and savior hits the field, the almighty T34 comes in and the double team kills him before he can get the IS2. Armor has swung my way, but I am still low on infantry. I have less than 50 points but I slowly start to build more shocks to deal with all his MGs, I get wipes and eventual a few more wipes which he can't afford. IS2 eventually gets Vet3 and I pretty much take over. I end up winning on the back of the IS2.

IT was a great game, lots of momentum swings and was interesting using Shocks instead of airborne for the back tech strat. Airborne LMG allow for a lot less bleed and I feel are overall easier to keep alive. However for that late game no vet durability nothing is beating shocks which also get smoke to help with decaps and just being a nuisance. Ambush worked ok, doesn't really feel like it should be a whole command point but double AT guns make short work of mediums so it is understandable. The flame call in is ok, works great against support units trying to hold on to point but you can't really control how it falls. Overall, everything is useful with the back tech strategy.

Thanks for reading and please give it a watch if you have a chance.

If you could last for 45 mins against Vonivan... hats off to you

I think he was playing with LAG cuz I think I got 3 wipes on him before he turned it up on me. Him going for tiger first really threw a wrench in my T2 back tech KV8 strat. Forgot tiger is easier to get out vs KT.

Still messing around with Terror Tactics thought I played fairly well, his Jp4 caught me off guard which literally buried me.

Played a couple games using this commander with T1 back tech and it is working fairly well, my main issue is I am used to skipping LV so i have a hard time not calling in Airborne when I can save for T70 to rush it out. I even had a game against some guy named Peanut Pouya who shitted on me before and I had him on the ropes but my micro got the best of me.

Ost enemy went with mg skip gren build into PG, I went with engi/clown car/penal x3.
Early game kind of goes my way but I make a PTRS penal expecting him to make a scout car but he does a PG rush so I am left AI short.
He slowly starts to push me back with his INF army- 3 Gren/2 PG/1 Jaeger. He eventually upgrades both with Shreks.
I get my T70 out, I dont get any wipes but I do decent health damage. He plays really defensive with his infantry which allows me to get most of map.
His P4 hits the field close to when my AT gun does so I am prepared, he did a T2 skip which becomes important later.
He is beating me pretty well but never delivers knock out blow, I eventually get KV2 out which keeps me in game since he retreats on sight.
He hits me with arty barrage, doesn't do too much damage but have to try not to blob. I eventually get T34 out and he gets a Panther
He wipes 2 of my Penal squads which is cool I guess.
Game is going his way but that changes pretty soon, I make him pay for not being aggressive.
I wipe 2 grens back to back, kill his panther while he is having a pathing or brain fart, and kill his P4. I also dive my T34 to kill his arty and lose it to shrek blob.
Game has swung heavily my way with point starting to even up if not go my way. However, it gets moar betta.
He catches my T34 with his shrek blob almost kills it but doesn't get last volley off for what ever reason. However both squads are really low health and model.
I chase them down on retreat with KV8 and wipe both while really beating up his other infantry. Game is pretty much over at this point. He plays until the end but I now have superior inf, tanks and AT.

The fear propoganda does help out a lot when you can't spare infantry to defend a side. Since he played very mobile I didn't need to save for bombing run so I could be very spammy with propoganda. Also KV8 defended by AT guns has made me fall in love with this tank again. I hated it with my NKVD strat since Penals alone cant really protect it but AT guns let you fall back safely.

This guy is a better sport than me, I would have quit with how many squad wipes. He stabilized when he made his tanks but it didnt last long.

Started with engi clown car, harassed and pulled back a few times for repairs. He pushed my fuel but must not have been paying attention got 2 VG wipes and then chased down his Kubel.
Since he is lacking in inf, i decide to skip mg and make SMG and PTRS squad. He pushes me back with his Luchs which I cant get out of position.
He makes a Jaeger squad which is helping him play keep away from my car but he takes damage and gets on a retreat path straight to my SMG penals, another wipe.
I decide to skip LV since T70 isn't really gonna help much against his non existent infantry and will take to long to kill luchs, make LMG guards to keep bleed and pressure up.
Finally get out T34, he was capping close to my base, caught lone VG late retreat, another wipe.
I get passive since I now have 2 T34 and pretty much push him back whenever, allows him to build up his tanks and raks.
To bait him I attack far left side of map over and over and he finally pushes back with both P4J which allows me to snare 1 but I do lose PTRS penal in process. I send all 4 T34, kill the snared tank but his overwatch pushes me back and my tanks are in bad shape. He chases but runs over mine and I get him with a stolen rak.
Once more it looks bleak for him but he refuses to give up, got to respect that but it is looking tough. I send infantry out while rebuilding my tank blob, waiting for him to send his raks to opposite side so I can rush his Schwerer. I finally catch him, destroy his building and pretty much force him to go KT.
I randomly catch his Ober by itself and wipe it with my 4 tank blob.
I get my blob up to 6 tanks and attack his base, destroy Battlegroupe but lose tank in the process.
He finally gets his KT out so I got to deal with that, he keeps it pretty much in the center of the map so I attack the right side of the map and force him to use Sector assault. I disengage, go back to base to repair and attempt to catch his KT out of position with out having to worry about planes. I get his KT with my Camo Rak and rush all my tanks at him and get the kill. From this point on, he attempts to hold on to VP points while I bleed him to the end.

I rpobably could have eneded the game a lot sooner by just making a Katy but I got tunnel vision and I was trading pretty well with them.
