[2.601] Brits vs. PE angoville

[Speed]

So I've gotten back into the OF factions lately, and vs PE my fav. strat as brits is a quick upgunned bren.

When this guy killed my bren quick, and my LT a little later, I knew I was in big trouble. I was able to claw, fight, and hold on for cromwells, but then out came the dreaded jagd.

Fun game to play. Any tips greatly appreciated.

Nice comeback, I thought you'd lost that one.

As for advice, I'd definitely keep your tanks away from the AT infantry. Most of your Cromwells were wasted against his blob, which had 4-5 shreks in it. Personally, I would have switched from tank production to something else at that point, or kept the armour in reserve until the AT was dealt with.

Very Good match. I can't help but feel that the PE player's choice of the Hotchkiss over the PZIV IST had something to do with is loss.

good match to watch a couple of things.

: infi and keeping them alive, a few times during game you had infi on one side of map being taken down while you were bussy on other, if you bussy better to retreat than lose whole squad, more importantly british..

: tank controle was at times funny to watch as you tended to not check with infi before sending tank into a shreak blob, best to use infi to see what you against before sending in tanks.

best moment was the luet taking on jap 1vs1 with shreak, while you command tank caused it to become stuck.lol (rambo?)

jap took over 2 mins to be "destroyed" when it was out of controle, yet happaned to use mg to supress your infi, pretty lol.

Building the third Tommys before the Lt. Hurt you some. The early BC is a good move. Around 10-11 minutes your idling some, and late to up gun sappers. I think sappers with piats is much better than the Stuart, because you can put them with Lt and Tommys. Lt, Tommy with bren gun and Sappers with piats makes a nice little all around battle group. The Stuart didn’t last long but notice how fast the sappers took out the armored car once they got their piats. A CCS well before the armor command truck is usually a good idea.

What really saved you was your constant attack on his cut off point. You really should have given up on the Cromwells, especially once you saw the Hetzer. Cromwell is nothing more than a inf support tank. What you need is a fire fly and command tank. Also some repair work from your sappers. 30 minutes they are standing idle next to a almost dead CCS that they could have been repairing. I would have protected that field support truck more or built another one. Sappers are just to dam important now for Britts. 32 minutes you have 237 ammo, lots of mines could have been laid. Try out their cloak ability, it does come in handy late in the game. My Sappers are usually to busy for it but I have used it successfully a few times. You only built one Sapper squad, at 35 minutes they have 1 heavy kill, 5 light kills and 12 inf kills. The Lt was just a lucky break. But luck is a big factor in COH.
