How To Stop A Swarm Of Soviet Troops?
« on: August 20, 2010, 02:45:00 PM »
Whenever i play against a soviet enemy, they always crush me by spamming troops, so i send in my own troops, they get owned, i send in some more with either a MG, Mortar or Flamethrowers, they still get owned, i sent in tanks supported by infantry, they still get owned, is there any way to stop a full-fledged soviet swarm?

what mod version are you using are you up to date?
1.23?

also anti-blob tactics MG's and mortars carefully placed. or if you can a nebelwerfer.
sometimes the officers ability to force retreat is handy too.

This is such a general question - How to stop infantry.

It might be better if you provided a replay so we could give more personalised tips.

How to stop the soviet troops?

It depends on what they have and how they are commanding them. Like Godlikedennis said, give us a replay.

The Russians think there sooo tough, wait till the Ostheer comes...

if your Wehr T1/T3 2 pios volks (up-gun asap) mg, mg, volks. Go storms with assult nades. and it all depends how good you are with the MGs. don't use houses. Then pumas. stugs or Gwagen for AT. Stay on the left side and go for the Stuh.

PE is easy; 4 PGs, up-gun the first one with your 50 munitions. Keep the kitten safe and capping. Then inf HTs and armored cars. Take his fuel. You do it right and you wont even need AT lol. You might see a Sherman call in but I wouldn't worry about that piece of junk. Get schricks and Murder

I think it depends on the situation Sonders, but pretty good.

Its a shame that the German tanks didn't have a mine flail. Now that, would have been entertaining. Behold! The MeatGrinder!! Run puny Soviets!! Run!!!!

Serious? I meant it as a joke. That would be awesome though. Wonder what the devs will think. Thanks. My first (and only) good idea...

I wonder if the Germans did have mine fails on the Easternfront.

Tacticalnuke, you came up with lots good ideas before.

Sounds like something they would do but it wouldn't work that well because they wouldn't get all of the mines, they would run out or POWS, and in battle they would run away or get shoot up.

I read somewhere that in the battle of Kursk they used Goliths to clear mine fields for tanks. Maybe we can have a different type of Golith that is made to destroy mines, but  cant destroy bridges.

But anyway lets stay on topic: Infantry.

I'm sure more than a few people wouldn't find that funny at all.
