Good Red Army Strategies! (Add your own)

[Blue]

General thoughts on using the Red Army, add anything you think is relevant: Strategies

- Save your munitions, don't go spending it on upgrades that aren't useful

- Spam, yes SPAM, conscripts. They serve as good cannon fodder at the beginning of a match, and once upgraded to NKVD Conscripts, they are more useful

- Outflank any and all MGs, bunkers, or buildings. All of your soldiers will get suppressed, pinned, and murdered if you don't

- Ingery are actually better at a second glance, use them to fortify captured areas and assist with defending them

Do not try hunkering down and waiting until teching up. If the Wehr/PE players notice this, they will realize what you are doing fairly easily if they have any kind of experience playing Soviets even in skirmishes, and will steamroll you with Panthers.

That´s exactly what happened in my first multiplayer game in this mod, and I was the PE player.

It´s better to keep your German opponents thinking that they can get more territory out of you. Their units are more expensive, so you can win long-term if you keep fighting it out until you get the munitions-based upgrades.

Use t-70/t90.

They are extremely useful along side infantry as long as you watch out for AT

- If using Urban Support doctrine, use your resources to get the Sniper Ace ASAP- In cramped maps, it will destroy your opponents infantry.

call partisans somewhere where there are a few enemy infantry. Then regarrison them immediately afterwards. They stand a good chance of clearing the area

[Wookie]

Guard infantry, since they cannot be suppressed, are handy for charging past axis MG bunkers which might be guarding a strategic point. Ofcourse, if the point is backed up, it might be less advisable and do expect a few losses.

If you have to go defensive on an important position, a simple tactic is to use 2 builder units, an AT hunter, and a mortar. Quickly build a line of sandbags in the direction that needs defending and place the AT hunter behind it, an outpost a bit further behind it. Then perhaps another line of sand bags behind that which you place the mortar. With this, it allows you to quickly hold a position against lesser assaults and reinforce any losses you take holding it whilst allowing you to reorganise for any offensives you have planned. This would only be a temp solution, since an organised or well armoured assault will smash that defense line.

Tank riders are very useful for a commander on the go. Use the tanks you plan on assaulting with, to assault, and leave a t34 tank rider unit in reserve to capture points as you advance. It will require micro'ing if you dont have alot of troops to support.

Don't forget to garrison chokepoints with outposts - with some infantry in these can hold up counter charges for quite a while.

btw, how do the soviets OP points?

[WartyX]

They can't OP points.

[Polybegon]

outposts are very usefull...
also, t90 owns inf...
also, the heavy mortars are OP...  So Use Them!

[packman13]

Choose the breakthrough doctrine and get tank riding gaurds they own whilst on tanks.

[Pauly3]

you can also ignore the mustering tent vs PE
get lots of Enginiry harrass territory with them
and then get support barracks and then obviously sniper teams
and anti-tank rifles
they own PE totally
it requires good flanking and multitasking to harrass territory
but it worked for me

-Spam Ingenery and get a Command Squad ASAP.

-Don't build a Mustering Tent, skip straight to the Support Barracks.

-Make as many Tank Hunter squads as possible.

-Upgrade them to Men against Tanks ASAP.

-Use Propaganda Doctrine's "For the Motherland" and go pwn the Axis player's base.

[Razz]

Mu ha ha! I like all the cry baby Germans.

For once they know what it's like being an Allied player.

Mu ha ha!

[BATTERIES]

Anti Tank Rifles are very good for killing paks , 2 squads with men against tanks shoots the gun and makes it break very quickly.

Dont rely on your Conscripts, they dont stand a chance against german inf. So dont send your cons to cap near enemy sectors unless supported. And NEVER send them alone to capture enemy territory!
