i dont quite get what you mean im most strategy games there are certain units spammed more than others, you cant beat a good player in this game by only spamming 1 unit.

Improve your play, and you'll soon realize that spam is rarely the best way to go once you advance up the boards.

If you're playing as Wehrmacht: Firestorm, Prop War, Assault, MGs, Snipers, Mines, Goliaths, Vet3 Ostwind, and Pumas.

If you're playing as Americans: 105mm, Calliope, any form of off-map arty while stalling or with BAR Suppression, Mines, and grenades.

Mind's gone blank as to the rest of the counters but generally whenever I see blobbed infantry they're the kind of things that spring to mind.

Noobs tend to blame the game for their losses, which is wrong. There are certain units used more often. However, by just spamming one or two units you can win against noobs but you will fail against mid or high skill players. Just keep playing and one day you will realize that.

Also depends on what you call spam. I don't how often I've been called a noob spammer when I had 3-4 rifles (which is the standard opening for US).

yes, it doesn't take long to learn how to blob. With US 3-4 rifles->bars has become somewhat de facto start since a competent player will easily dominate 2/3 of the map. Thus there's no fear of fast counters.

Not saying other factions are hard to blob with either...

Oh gawd this guys got problems with spam. Man id wish some US player would spam rifles over and over until the end of the game. Atleast i wouldnt have to get anything more than volks and MGs. Life would be so simple...

Play 1v1, spam problem solved for the most part. 2v2 has largely degenerated into spam at this point unfortunately.

Same, even 5 is somewhat standard with that SIS strat. What spam is to me is like 5-6+ squads.
