CoH Tactics and Strategy

I'm supposed to be reading El Filibusterismo and studying for my Chinese quiz tomorrow... but "What the heck"

Ever since I started engaging John Huang and Robert Locsin, I've had a complete reshuffle of starting game tactics on both Axis and Allies. My engagements online on the ranked servers has made this more clear. Thankfully, from a total n00b on the rank servers, I'm now Level 5 in Allies and Level 4 on Axis. [I choose random so I can play IMMEDIATELY]

But since I can't give my FULL Tactical Details because the enemy lurks among us...

...I'll give some tips.

1. Get fuel early in the game.
Doing so would ensure that you can tech up quickly and get armor out - something newbies and n00bs alike can't handle.

2. Let the situation dictate your company/doctrine.
Strategy = killing the opponent.
Tactic = how to kill the opponent.
I normally let the developments of the game choose my style of play. This makes your style more flexible to the current situation. Only choose a specific company/doctrine early in the game if you have a full pledge plan on how to crush the enemy - this must be able to survive early game rushes and long term battles.

3. Barbwire versus Sandbags.
Early in the game... barbwire can be a hassle, if you have a way of being able to pin down enemy Engineers and Pioneers from cutting the damn thing, then your okay. Otherwise, and for a long term defense, use sandbags.

4. Choose the OP points carefully.
In the real battle, you have scarce resources [a.k.a. Economics]. You must judge where and when to put Observation Posts; thus, take into account the area it holds, what it gives you, and if you can afford the "opportunity cost" to construct such a defense.

5. Push
Usually, there comes a time when a fierce battle erupts and both sides are left weary. The one who can push and reinforce his squads quicker would gain the upper hand and win the day. I've seen many people commit this mistake : Gian, Willard, John, Robert, and even myself at times [I just haven't seen the replays to know]. But I've used this on the rank servers... and have won with it.

In ending...
Dapat Gian [Bismark], Willard [Kaiser], Camille [Chua] and me [Führer] versus John Huang, Robert Locsin, Luis Rivera, and Marc Lim!

FEEL THE AWESOME POWER OF THE REICH!
Sieg Heil ╬
