So maybe I haven't played enough 1v1s recently but I've just encountered this strat where the OKW just blobs hard in the early game.

I vaguely remember this happening before but I've been infrequently playing 1v1s.

It was nice that I was able to go around and cap the other half of the map. And my opponent was bad because of the way I trashed his P4.

But before that he put his schwerer on my fuel/cutoff and I lost two rifles + flamer RE in an engagement up top cuz I was stupid, which was when I surrendered.

But I remember now why I hate OKW. Because they can build a big truck and lock down half the map.

Sometimes grouping all your units together is a good tactic, sometimes it isn't. I've never understood insulting people for choosing a particular tactic (jk, I understand, losing feels bad).

If I have vision of enemy squads on the other side of the map, and I could potentially group all my infantry to win a fight elsewhere, is that insidious blobbing or good strategy?

:( I just... lost to blobbing. Makes me sad.

I watched the replay, you really didn't. Maybe I misremember, feel free to tell me the timestamp, but I never saw him a-move all his units anywhere. You lost because that side of the map is really hard vs OKW and your multitasking lost you a bunch of squads, plus you had some poor engagement choices. He didn't blob his units except for maybe once, and one other time he grouped 3 volks (the engagement where you lost your rifles and flamer).
