Company of Heroes

Last time I played against Shaman was probably 7 years ago, although COH is not 100% based on skill and specially in current version axis has the upper hand right from start and I know winning as Wehrmacht or PE is nothing special at all unless the map is something like sturzdorf but I always enjoy seeing my risky start "Volks + sniper + 3pios" still working. However his Howitzer did not allow me to break my sniper kills record of 76 kills against Aimstrong

GG Shaman, and I think your strategy would surely work against super camper players but against aggressive play it was better to go for tank depot or M8 rush after your first howis. I was expecting a vehicle rush that I made 2 useless paks but too many howitzers specially when I start with 3 pios is useless I can safely repair any damaged building.

GG. WP.
Always nice to see old players.
But one thing, I really was not expecting you to say something like: "I was a legend once."

haha epic finishing sentence, arashenstein

otherwise I enjyoed the game (ze german vet3 tanks blitzkrieg) but shaman didn't play his best here - he lost all 3 of his beginning rifles. At around 10 min mark he only had 1 flamer and 1 freshly build rifle.
Double 105 on 1v1 you don't also see very often, not sure it's the best idea vs a non-defensive-bunker wehr player.
Both 105s payed off with kills but I would still rather tech to sniper to counter your vet2 inf + atgs for tanks.

gg wp guys

Well with all these super campy bunker players these days you really can't blame Shaman for what he did, for sure it is normal that he predicted I go for super campy defence play however I have one big trick that I use in all Langres matches and that is I build a bunker when in the middle of the map where the cut off is to make the enemy believe I am going for defensive doctrine to reinforce from that bunker since it is too frontlined. But then I cancel it during the building and either make it somewhere else or never make it. The result of this trick is your enemy is %100 picking Infantry company and you can safely play as Terror doctrine against it If you notice in this replay after Shaman spots my bunker on cut off he takes infantry doctrine (if you watch from his side).

hehe yeah I noticed u starting to build the bunker and then cancel it and build it further behind.
Nice (mind) trick!
