don't missunderstand me.

i appreciate that he takes time to watch the replay of the other guy but what i'm saying is that maybe, as a very low player, his advise could be wrong and lead the other guy into the wrong direction.

notice the 'maybe'.

Just watched it. Had FoW turned on, so I only saw what you saw during the match.

You basically just didn't have answer to the opponent's crucial units (Vickers and Centaur) when you needed them. For Centaurs see comments below. Against the two Vickers, as you skipped T1 you had no mortars for barrage/smoke but you could've deployed the officer and used his smoke ability to avoid having to constantly retreat and leave the map for the opponent to cap.

You played well in terms of map control and unit preservation up until minute 12, where you lost three units (two of them very important) within a space of like 30 seconds.

* The 251 loss was easily avoidable -- you sent it in without any infantry scouting ahead. You did this a couple of times, and on minute 12 the opponent had two 6 Pounders waiting for that and punished your overly aggressive push

* The HMG loss was just Commandos doing their thing, but you should have deployed another one to replace it -- the British infantry had freedom to roam for the rest of the match

* The Osttruppen loss was less important but also easily avoidable -- you just didn't notice, but that happens

After that you were countered by the Centaur, and that combined with two 6 Pounders meant he had a combined force that shredded your infantry and protected the unit doing it from your armour. You would've needed PzIV+Pak to kill/force the Centaur away while also pushing against 6 Pounders with your infantry, but that scenario evaporated when you lost your PzIV, so I'd say that was the most crucial moment that cost you the game. You also compounded the problems by decisions like going for a Panzergrenadier squad with Panzerschrecks, which was a big mistake against the Centaur.

Overall I would say this was just one of those matches where one mistake led to a snowball effect and cost you the game. Your commander choice (not being able to easily counter two HMGs) and losses (251, HMG and PzIV) combined with lack of Tellers (which you mentioned in the original post) was enough to leave you with very little chance of recovering.

I don't think you're going to have many matches like this because you play well, but if you have had any other games that developed similarly, feel free to post another replay and I'll have a look.
