SpitfireXI Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I'll tell you why I lose, never see those damn AT guns until they fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solutions: 1) Sacrificial armored car / halftrack assets 2) Insanely deep infantry probe before moving the tanks forth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerF Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 If the at guns are used by the ai, just level objective flags with mega arty. It works for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardem Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I lose when I play players who know all the game limitations, know if place the HMG 19m metres in woods he can't be spotted, if you run two tanks around together at the hip your likely to get more damage. If you smoke a person, you can then use area fire to finish them off. Borg spotting Players that only pick units that will win, Paratrooper infantry supported by Stugs not based on the typical battlefied makeup. Or use of the limitations of maps, edges, flag runs and other CM tactics. I been beaten on players that have out thought me as well in where I thought they would head but didn't, but majority I get trounced by CM game players, not tacticians. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikinWest Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Mainly because i like to have an army that looks cool and has awesome units. Not units that actually work awesome. Erik 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 What mostly causes me to lose is giving the enemy something to shoot at! If I place my guys too far forward with less-than-adequate cover and no means of escape they're doomed from the start (unless my opponent makes some grotesque error). If i place my guys someplace where my opponent has to ferret them out I'm usually able to whittle his forces down. Last weekend I played a Villers Bocage scenario vs a pile of Tigers than I SHOULD have lost to. But I made it so he was forced to find me to kill me. I managed to disrupt his formation and gradually whittle down his forces. First time I've won against tigers in a LONG time! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone_Vulture Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Another reason for me losing: denying Occam's razor. If out of many options there's the most logical and sound tactic, it's usually the right one. .. And yet I opt for riskier, more daring tactics, which again results in needless casualties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
