Thread: [1v1] What do? (as Americans)29 Sep 2016, 19:26 PM After I got the lead as Americans, I'm unsure of how to capitalize on my lead. I should have been able to shut the Wehr player down before they got their Tiger Ace. In: Replays

Thread: turbotortoise: Commrade_General15 Oct 2015, 05:49 AM Damn, that match was insane. Again, your analysis is on point though in regards to my lack of faction knowledge. Like, in watching that match, I thought "OH, he's building a bunch of bunkers; definitely seems like a good place to put an mg." But nope, not a single mg built ever from paula. Already an error there in regards to build order as I usually like to get an mg out early. But another area where I lack is in map experience as well, as I wouldn't know the best spots to place an mg or put down an emplacement (none of which he placed, either). Another element I noticed is how heavily he builds infantry fortifications to ensure his Infantry Sections have green cover for engagements. Certainly the yellow/green cover buff is amazing for them. But I have never built anywhere near that many bunkers in fear of them getting destroyed and wasting manpower. But he didn't lose a single one (not to any fault of your own!). And when a bunker wasn't available, he made it an extreme priority to get in the nearest green cover/building. I think my micro in that area isn't near as on point; but that seems to certainly help him considering he had enough manpower to build two snipers. But yeah, I would still say you are right about my main issue being faction knowledge because I would have had a completely different build order given the same situation. Especially given the early field advantage paula had. As you know from our previous discussions, I generally fret when I have the advantage and don't always know what to build. But I'm still working on that! And I can easily say, if we wanted to focus on certain factions, my choice would be OKW, then UKF after that. If you don't feel comfortable with either of those, I'd be willing to switch because I really do enjoy playing as all the factions. But as I'm a natural turtle player when it comes to RTS, both of those factions easily fit my playstyle. Also, there is totally no worries in regards to your speed/schedule. Honestly, us working together couldn't have worked out more perfectly as I too am generally busy, haha. So by all means, please take your time and focus on school! But know that I'm always down to play if we happen to be free at the same time, haha. OR, if you come in-game and I'm playing one currently, feel free to watch my broadcast through steam! Thanks so much for the reply! Hope to see you on next week! -Commrade_General p.s. I enjoyed your map of where all the UKF units are from - as a standard ignorant American (haha ), it was nice to see where each unit's accent is from. In: Mentoring

Thread: For Turbo - 2v2 with Commrade_General as CBF28 Sep 2015, 20:59 PM 2v2 on Road to Kharkov Overview: Interesting game with probably not the best counters to make my way through some tough fights early-game. Started off ok - pushed my enemy player off the VP and ammo point. Thought I had a decent enough position to help my ally in mid. Turns out I didn't and had to rout all of my forces, losing my mg in the process. From that point forward, it was hard for me to get a strong foothold on my side of the map. The OKW player I was facing had two mgs since he called one in and was able to steal mine after I lost it. For some reason, I thought a sniper would be the best counter since I needed to push those off and the wehr player already mortars. I thought placing my own mortar pit would be very susceptible to an enemy flank and/or the wehr mortar half-track with flame strike. After I was able to scare off an mg, I noticed that the enemy was starting mass a lot of infantry. But since I was behind in tech and resources, I chose to get a carrier with the WASP upgrade. Somehow, that did the trick and I was able to push their mgs even further off. Again, due to the heavy amount of infantry, I went the commando commander so I could start having some strong AI and also so I could start taking back some map presence. Worked out OK though as I was able to inflict some losses on his side thanks to the commandos going deep (although, I dove too hard and ended up losing the squad). I finally built a cromwell as I needed to remove the schwerer base where it was deployed. As I began to attack it with my tank and AT gun, a panther rolled around and onto my mine. Wasn't able to destroy it, but thats when they decided to give up. So. Yay! Some things I think helped me this game: Keeping my cool - Even though I was losing in the beginning, not freaking out really helped keep me calm and prevent loss of further units. As the enemy became overly aggressive, things started to work in my favor. Not doing too many things at once - I did try to do too many things at once in the beginning, trying to help my ally in mid. But after I realized how poor of a choice that was, I just focused on my side of the map. This actually made my ally somewhat mad as he requested help on his side during a lot of the early game fights. However, in attempt to stay calm and not spread myself thin, I chose not to. This ended up working in our favor though as I was able to eventually face the enemy on my side, even pushing him off his own fuel point. In: Replays

Thread: turbotortoise: Commrade_General27 Sep 2015, 23:31 PM Hey Turbo, thanks for the article on HQ placement! That is some solid advice, especially in regards to shot blockers. I'm flying stand by, so I just finalized my flight schedule. I should get home at 845 PM PST. I tried to get home earlier, but the flights are all busy. Let me know if you would be down to play around 930 PM PST In: Mentoring
