I know it's almost a month late, but i only recently found it. I don't know how many of you guys have seen it already (I'm guessing most.), but i figured it was worth posting anyway. Both the article and the videos are a great help for anybody who wants to go pro!

I've got a tip with the british faction on this map : Upgrade your HQ truck with the speed upgrade, just after that, undeploy it and rush to the middle island. Retreat the starting unit and it will rush with the HQ on the middle island really fast. Make a trench or wait for reinforcements.

Yeah and remember to build a lot of arty and off map arty

I find the Brits to be very good on maps like these (small with bridges), because they can lock down pretty easily with their Emplacements with little threat of being flanked.

P.S. Republic Commando is awesome.

Yes, I've seen it...but I think it was an April Fool!

Maps like that doesn't need any guide...spam something and you win.

Yeah i know, that's why i said i'm almost a month late. But it's just so funny, i thought it was worth posting.

LOL... i thought was real but looks like was a joke XD. I didn't recall at that time that was April 1st.

Haha, yeah. At first i was like, "Who the fuck is this pretentious prick?!", and then i thought to check the date...

Yeah brits do nicely on scheldt. To give an idea of how out of wack this map is you can build a mortar bunker and destroy HQs with supercharge round lol

I've even heard accounts of spamming wehr upgrade buildings with defensive doct to substitute cheap MG bunkers. the stupidity is endless

I hate to admit I've played this map but we once won a game using nothing but priests and 25 pounders

Fixed if your HQ truck is not set up they will retreat to a HQ of your allies.

Brits are the weakest faction on Scheldt but anyway I like how they attempt to rush me everytime and always lose their 2 breens and their starting unit.

The problem isn't the Brits, it's the player - The British army is a turtle faction, so they are stupid if they rush. Panzer Elite are for rushing.

[Desert_Fox]

All faction can rush if you're enought good to do it! 

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

Yeaaaahh Mortar Emplacement rush ftw 

[pariah]

Granted, if your opponent is a total n00b, you probably could rush them with Brits and win.

[Walentin 'Walki' L.]

No he was actually very good (level 13 (I know level says nothing about the player)) but you just can't beat the panzer elite luftwaffe spam at the beginning.
My secret tip: Use the Schwimwagens' ability to kill the brit starting unit faster even when it's standing in green cover. My Schwimwagen had vet 2 until the end of the game and it survived . After you killed the starting unit and two of his breens he will start to dig in an build howitzers and shoot into your base (somehow all of them react like this ). Don't get nervous make sure to get all upgrades including Sprint Ability and when needed build a Panzer Support Kommand at your friends base and call in a Bergetiger to repair your HQ.
And another thing: build a flak 38 vierling at the open entrance of your HQ sector it will help you a lot because in most cases the Americans are going on airborne.
