Hehe now I know what to look out for when I do a bit of pio spamming myself. (I tend to only go 3-4 pios and follow up with MG's and stuff, although this is mainly in team games where I just build lots of wire and tank traps to lock down key resource areas)
Good cast, not sure if I prefer the "live" cast over the delayed one since you did such a good job talking while playing in the first one.
Those $ signs were the new Blitz doctrine ability Infantry Pillage. Infantry gather manpower and munitions when enemy infantry or vehicles are destroyed while this order is active. Later upgrades allow troops to heal while pillaging.
I notice that grenadier vet has changed where vet 2 and vet 3 have been swapped, so they don't get elite armour until vet 3 now. I wonder if the same change has occurred with support vet and the pioneers. If that's the case then the flamers wouldn't get any bonus damage to them at vet2.
I find that the rifle equipped engineers/pioneers will always lose if you rush them up close. Fighting with them at a distance doesn't work out. I know the instinct for Engineers is to get some distance on them, because they typically lose up close, however this is disaster against Kar pios for obvious reasons. A full rifle squad should still rush right up to them.

Nice man, I had some trouble with this guy last week. He piospammed me too. I went for double snipers after my third rifle, but he managed to still beat me because he had so many capping power. I wasn't able to get some AT out fast enough. It's so annoying.
Strange. While not that bad, your opponent have done some poor decisions ingame, like not finishing your m8 off w his puma, constant rebuilding of OP and not protecting it w mines, while he understood that you attacked him there regularly, his fail sniper 'micro' and such.
Also he was very apathetic, esp when his vps ticked down. Besides, i do not understand his obsession with stugs, when he could build a pair of pumas to obliterate your infantry. Vet pumas kill things like crazy.

What bums me out is that inverse had made a FRAPS of this awesome 2v2 we had BUT he accidentally recorded it at full size (the file was ginormous like 10 gigs or more?). So I'm waiting for the next new game to get posted still
Make moar! Especially since we don't have replays yet (though Noun did say they are coming but didn't give any time estimates).

That's ok, just encode it down to a reasonable size.
I'm trying to get another game out, problem is I haven't really played a good match lately. I'll be playing some 2v2s with Hillhome over the weekend, so we might be able to get a Ventcast up soon.
If you have a good game that you think would make for an entertaining cast, email it to me!
