Actually, he is right. I've been playing a lot of OKW and Ostheer, and indeed it just got easier with ost. Problem is, Ost is a damn hard faction to play.

I Just try to adapt to the game., and not trying think about that the game must adapt to my necesities is a stupid way to engage a combat., This is the reality ., we can choose adapt or die., and normally i won if i dont make any stupid mistake the guy bleed to dead. also my conformation depends of what is happening and my actual role in the fray., For example, Last game i just made a nice control zone in the middle of redball express., already knowing about what is going to happend when i see all those british and USF infantries walking around i start build the control zone., in a moment i have 3 MG teams ( 1 stolen)., 2 Mortars teams (they have over 30 kills each) 1 PAK40., Mines., a lot of anti tank mines. and about 4 granadiers squads., in order to make effective his use i only engage from the flanks trying to avoid blobs.,

Counterplanning was a must in this game., I was one step ahead of any kind of "Massive infantry advance" thanks to my sniper and periodically scouting ., Also my partners help a lot with fixed artillery. that give us and edge and cover to my middle front operation., vs enemy artillery Later this develop in a Tank battle., because the guys get tired about getting suppresed for different angles. and that was easy they dont know how to manage their tank forces and receive big hits from stugs and PAK40 ( in less extent).

Was a nice game!,

In my expierence granadiers must be work with the weapons teams., They arent an offensive unit., Are a defensive one., they can attack of course., but in quantities and well covered., You know in a "secured Scenario" with Tanks and Mortars well placed., Can get the job done., Vs anything except any kind of core/shock infantry. when this guys appear you need to help them to win. in my games my granadiers never Engage this kind of enemy without Help. i know that my dear allies can recover from losses much better and come back to the field in the half that my troops can go to my base running refill., heal and come back.

221 Sdkfz is A MUST to hold the ground and recover heavy weapons.


if you think that your Ostheer Infantry can win toe to toe Vs Allies CORE infantry you are playing the game Wrong. you need HMG support, Mortar support., planes to check the and know the attack vectors.

if the granadiers are not well placed they are going to die., you best bet is trying to fight the enemy in a defensive matter. waiting., ambushing and always at maximum range where they shine.


Just an opinion.
