In the video, my opponent builds a sandbag wall and i catch him doing it and charge. I fend him off with a grenade and go forth to capture a sector. My Engineer squad lay down a demo charge on the sandbag wall and pulls back. Then I bate his two Volks with my one rifle onto the sandbags and insta kill them both with the Democharge. Democharges are upgraded from the HQ and cost 100 mp and 30 fuel. To place one costs 50 munition, but they are well worth it if placed correctly and with a little luck. They can be placed on any enemy construction, be it tank traps, wire, sandbags and of course buildings and bunkers. It can also be used to great effect on civilian structures.
Destroying Cover
Cover is a unique part of CoH and a very vital one. Green cover has huge bonuses and being behind green cover shields you from small arms fire, taking very little damage. Destroying it can be very important in a firefight, leaving the sides at an even playing field unless you of course bring more men and firepower. The M8, M3 Half track, M10, Crocodile and Sherman can all do this by simply running over the sandbags, haystack or any other cover. Be aware of mines when doing this. There are four different kinds of crushes in this game.
No crush = Obvious (Jeep)
Light crush = Fences, brushes, wire, and other yellow cover as well as sandbags (M8, M3 Halftrack)
Medium crush = Rock walls, hay bails and all yellow and green cover (Sherman, Croc, M10)
Heavy crush = All cover, cars and hedgerows, as well as tank traps (Pershing, Croc with Bulldozer Upgrade)
The Scout Cap
Scout capping lets you spot an incoming threat earlier than usual as well as letting you see if any other sector is being captured in the vicinity. I usually do this when i have few units on the field and intelligence about my opponent's strategy and location is important. Spreading out your men like this also give you a better chance to survive artillery fire.
Medic Harassment
The Jeep, Half track or any armor unit can push units around making the AI move. The same applies to medics, so that means you can push them after they pick up a body and they will drop the body and dodge the incoming vehicle. However the Wehr bike cannot push American or British medics. The bike will simply run into the medic and stop.
