It's not the only game I play and my playtime varies greatly but generally I'll play 3-4 games in an evening. Total hours is only 263 since I tend to binge on the game. (Although I had another 100 or so in the alpha/beta)

Been busy for awhile but been thinking about doing some more videos lately. Will try and get some more uploaded soon!

I'll have to get some new reps for this, but the basic idea is this.

Early game, Ostruppen can soooort of hold their own. They won't kill anything 1 vs 1, but if they're in decent cover they won't really die, either. This gives you time to support with another squad or a flame pio. So you can still contest map control. Unlike Grens, who will tend to lose 1-2 men and then it becomes very risky to keep them around. Ostruppen absorb more damage, and are cheaper, allowing you to funnel your resources towards faster tech and better units (pgrens) which can definitely go toe to toe with rifles. On maps with buildings, these guys can hold out for a loooong time giving you time to tech and get your shock units out.

My basic strategy was to use 3-4 ostruppen with flame pio to kind of contest, while I skip t1 and go straight to t2 for pgrens and halftrack. With the halftrack, your ostruppen suddenly become essentially immortal. (Cheap & fast reinforce), and pgrens function like how OKW would use sturmpios. Follow up with a Pak in case he goes for a light vehicle, and then you're kind of free to tech up for an Ostwind/pzIV.

The main weakness of this strategy is once you reach mid-late game and he has accrued veteran infantry, if you don't really have overwhelming vehicle firepower or done a good job getting vetted pgrens, you'll tend to struggle as you Ostruppen are REALLY useless at this point for much more than capping. Which is why I do kind of like to build as much defenses as possible (S mines and a well placed teller or two) to try and make it hard for my opponent to really come back.


I generally prefer to go for a mg heavy strat these days, but mostly because I like having more doctrine versatility and I have a boner for ambush camoflauge. But I do really like Ostruppen for an early game map control force. They really fall off in effectiveness by the time medium vehicles hit the field though.

I wonder what kind of internal development/publisher politics lead to WFA and this being separate releases. WFA is by Relic's most content light expansion(even Tales of Valor had more)

OKW HT is fine. US is OP.

imo its little anti vehicle burst should have a larger delay between burst.
