Today, I will be teaching who ever reads this topic how to vaporize ANY axis squad (Grens, assault grens, stormtroopers, fjr, shit probably even 1st
SS leibstandarte squads) as the American faction using the new and improved rifleman squads. Turn those 550 MP units into useless cannon fodder with your awesome riflemen squads.
To begin, you'll want to start with the typical opening, but this time aim for 2x riflemen squads, and an early at unit ( 57mm Halftrack, 37mm anti tank, or even Greyhound car). Then, get those riflemen squads 2x BAR upgrades each for a total of 4. Then, get a captain and call in the 7 riflemen squad ( these guys are amazing they come with BARS for only 300 mp ?!?!?). This should all be done in less than 9 minutes. Now the PAIN begins.
Gather your captain and your 3x Riflemen squads, maybe a sherman or greyhound, and your anti-tank halftrack and just roam the land. When you come across those grenadier squads with those dangerous MP44's, just hold (even in red cover) and press the suppress skill on just 1 of your riflemen squads. Now, that elite axis grenadier squad (EVEN FJR !!!!) should be pinned down in less than 0.1 seconds from all the BARS and captain bonus. Then advance your riflemen squads against that axis squad and wipe them out for good. Using this tactic (suppressive bar fire) I GUARANTEE YOU WILL steamroll ANY axis squad you come across. Once you get vet 3 riflemen squad you are basically invincible. By this point of the game you should see what doc your enemy has and choose accordingly.
The Beauty of this tactic is that it is NOT doctrine dependent. You can use any american doctrine so that means you can counter pick doctrine's very late in the game (if they pick BK you go armor etc). Use this knowledge wisely, it is very dangerous in the wrong hands, using this tactic i managed to go 11-0 in PVP games against moderately skilled players as the American faction.
Just one example of this tactic in action, as requested by Markr. If you want more replays of this tactic, just post or pm me, I will show you
My friend sent me this game against CyberZombie and his mates. He stated that he followed my guide and exclusively uses riflemen in this playback. He surprisingly picks airborne doctrine very late in the game (30 minutes). This playback mainly highlights the fact that you can go through the whole game using just riflemen and AT squads to defeat whatever axis can throw at you.
