Company of Heroes

Got a bit surprised, i have somehow managed to win it, but there was a moment when i was completely helpless. I've sacrificed my M8 to counter StuH and my opponent had Relic blessing(2 snipers killed by shrecks oh cmon). What is better against such strategy, M8 rush or snipers? I mean, which should i take first?

Or maybe i have just forgotten about 0.30 cal to counter pioneer bl0bs..
