So this was a really enjoyable 1v1 on Wrecked Train, which is not a map I am too good on. Having normally play on 2v2 maps and usually favoring an unconventional WSC start, 9 years later I am trying to master Riflemen.
Good start by the Wer player, I made some bad losses over the first 5 minutes. Excellent use of stun grenades as well. His early gameplay was anticipating what I would be doing, such as getting an AT gun just as I had my M8 out. Good use of anti infantry tanks as well. He produced a load of shrek squads which is when his anticipation skills ran out, as I back tech'd for snipers and never went up to T4.
Game changing units were some very lucky placements with on and off map arty, a Ranger squad with an extra shrek which was lethal and lastly a lowly MG bunker just outside my base. He defo had the strength in numbers which I countered with lucky arty shots, but wonder if he really needed to spend so much on tanks, when a few snipers could have made a big difference for him.
Anyhow, enough waffle, have a download and see what you think.
Yeah, they do take a bit of work to master alright. I think that I mainly got focused on WSC as back in '06/'07 I played mostly with the same guy online who was a master at riflemen. I'd support with WSC and together we would make some good wins
Finally got down to watching this game. It was touch and go at one point but you held your nerve when others would have dropped.
At times you had too many idle units, but even the best of players let this happen. Once you saw that he was going T4 heavy (2) vetted armour extra AT guns, sticky bombs or re-manning those AT guns that had been killed would have helped.
But overall I enjoyed this game and deseves a 'wub'.
