Although I use Conscripts a lot when playing Russian, it never occurred to me to use them this heavily whilst relying on call-ins for armor. So I've decided to give it a go and the first time, was a clear victory.

The map was Moscow outskirts. I took early dominant map control and never gave him much breathing room. He tried to counter, but with no success. In the end his camp was surrounded by 8 or so conscripts squads, a guard rifle squad and two IS-2 tanks. I can only imagine my nemesis eating his keyboard in frustration.

The second game I played was a loss on my side. It was the "new" map and the enemy used the MG42 spam, and then strafe-runned me till I lost. It's not the technique's fault though, if I had been more persistent in denying the enemy fuel / ammo, I could've won. Breaking their lines of supply really seems to be key here.

So thumbs up for the technique, if used properly, I would go as far as to say it is the tightest technique out there for Russians.

Edit: Checked the replay on the last match. I made some huge mistakes in the chaos. At one of the first skirmishes, I accidentally retreated my flanking squad instead of my pinned squad. I also spread my conscripts too much, making them less efficient. So once again, thumbs up for the technique.
