Id like to believe that Brits(or Commonwealth) will be making a return somewhere in Relic's five year plan. It better be cool, and it better be designed WELL.
Good finals,Jeez! You overcame your demons! Respect! Commiserations to the other finalists! And especially wp to the rest of the pirate band, who had the guts to have a go and take part!
I think one of the major reasons that Ostheer is underrepresented is the way the rules work. The Axis player always has to declare his faction first. If you declare Ostheer, the Allied player can then "counter-pick" with USF because Ostheer struggles against USF so often on so many maps. With the way factions are in the game though, there needs to be some precedent of one player declaring faction first.........................
TLR - Ostheer is plagued with an overly expensive teching system if you go past anything but T2. Plus their base-line tanks cannot compete with Soviet call-ins or USF Major tanks. Tigers are strong but they come late (often too late against USF). Grens are too fragile and you don't have the luxury of mass amounts of schrecks everywhere to supplement your other AT. Soviet would suffer from the same problems as Ostheer regarding tech costs except they get phenomenal doctrinal choices like Shocks, 120mm mortars, Mark Target, T34/85s and 30 munition mines - oh and demo charges.
As a gentle aside, guys.. please do not get too hung up on your favourite poster and start adverse flaming....these casters all hang themselves out to be judged...Twitch/youtube votes are an obvious leveller.
Creativity is to be praised...neg comments from Couch Potatos may have to be heeded...but these peeps are not casting. ------> Be gentle with your casters, prs?
MG34 is OP as fuck. OKW tends to have a huge manpower surplus at times which can easily be put into an Pak43, skipping the need to invest anything into raketens. Smines are great against certain strats. And that's really all you need, bunkers and zeroing have no real reason to exist for OKW.
Thnx.
And BTW, a huge shout out to you and Jeez for those games we watched this evening
