(BETA) Kwok, Wald vs. Sgt. Barnes & Mencius Moldbug

[Walderschmidt]

Map: Road to Cherbourg, 2v2

Kwok (RAF) v. Mencius Moldbug (Blitz)
Wald (Armor doctrine) Sgt. Barnes (Panzer Support)

Kwok basically took and held the center and I used the amor cheap tanks ability to basically spam out E8s. I could have spammed even more 76s than E8s, but I feel like E8s are just under Panther quality for allies. They often one shotted Hetzers and Stugs and surprised me even without AP ammo. I think the thing that won the game was I tech 4 and had 2 x Shermans out at around the 8min43/9m mark before the Axis team had any counters out. The one counter they did get out, a pak 38 was easily mopped up by both my Shermans flanking it. And you can bet that the pak 38 delayed German getting tanks out just enough that my Shermans had a period where they could run over the entire Axis army until a Stug showed up to briefly delay the inevitable.

Even if the Axis wanted to get out Panthers and a KT/Jagpanther they were unable to because my constant spamming of Sherman 76s forced them to have tanks in force to counter them and thus weren't able to get enough time or fuel to tech up enough to bring out a hard counter.

Wald

[Krieger Blitzer]

This game might be a good explanation of the recent Axis rants on the balance section.

[Walderschmidt]

Why do you think so?

Not saying I disagree, just curious.

I was thinking when did I fight you guys in cherbourg with panzer support because i don't remember a single game on that map with that doc but I check the player names and it's not me playing panzer support (it's babysealbatter).
