I'm constantly running into OKW as Soviets and I do not use M3s (they're a silly unit with silly abilities) and I'm routinely getting torn apart by those damn sturmpios.. any suggestions on beating them?
My opening is this;
Two penals and keep them at near max range. Upgrade one to a flamer when munitions allow. If they hop into a building satchel charge it.
If required, an M3 scout car.
If not, wait until Shock troops and do two squads.
