For Turbo - 2v2 Commrade_General as OKW

2v2 on Ettlebruck

Pretty interesting loss. Started out strong making short work of their fortifications and buildings with MGs in them. Tried to mine as much as I could expecting various armor to show up before I had any. By mid-game, I had obtained a PIV in attempt to fight off their Centaur. But what ended up killing me most was their crocodile. As most of my AT was infantry, it would make short work of them. I definitely went the wrong commander and should have probably gone with fortifications doctrine to get the Pak43. I definitely was late to get out armor but this was a case where I didn't know how to get fuel fast enough. Although, I think I definitely wasted resources on a luchs as it only helped briefly and was definitely not worth the initial investment. However, I thought it was as they were blobbing infantry after a certain point.

The final nail-in-the-coffin was losing my schwer base as it was building a panther. After this, I really had no strong counter to their heavy armor. Ended up getting the JPIV, but by that point they had too much momentum and I was just bleeding manpower to the centaur.

I think a big thing I want to take away from this match is what to do with out-matched units. For instance, after their centaurs were going heavy at my luchs and infantry, I really didn't know what to do with the luchs. I ended up carelessly throwing it forward and losing it. But I really wish I would have known how to harass better or what else I could have done with the unit.

Additionally, knowing when to choose between PIV and Panther in this game I think could have made a big difference. Although the PIV helped with infantry, their armor was giving me too much trouble. But I don't know how to make that kind of call. Is it just a really good educated guess?

Thanks,
