Reducing their fuel to 0 is probably too far in the other direction. Every other faction can make some sort of teching decision within the first minute or two of the game: Brits can get t2 or upgraded squad sizes, Americans get grenades, weapon racks or an ambulance, Soviets can get t1/t2 or molotovs/AT grenades, Ostheer can choose to either get t1 or save up for a quicker battlephase 1. There's currently strategies that incorporate such decisions: brits often get early squad sizes vs ostruppen builds, americans can get early grenades sometimes, soviets can stay T0 for a bit with molotovs or tech up early for other stuff and t2 rushes with ostheer are pretty popular now that MG's are t0.

OKW can now do fuck all. They need to gather 45 fuel to make their first possible tech choice. This means that the only build order diversity you have is going to be manpower based. They don't even have anything to spend munitions on other than mines and sweepers (outside doctrinal stuff like flamers) until they buy a truck. This will make them incredibly stale and predictable in the first 3-4 minutes until they can field a truck. (And probably another 1-2 minutes before they can field much in the way of units)

Regarding fast Luchs: Just make T1 a requirement for T2 and be done with it.

Reducing starting fuel would delay the FlaK HT quite a bit and that's not necessary.

non doctrinal call in.
