i play WM the friend of mine plays PE.

and one more thing: is there any detailed/organized information about the soviet units to compare with axis? costs/production time ect...

[DrRockzo1986]

I wish I had a replay to show you but Im a fan of Sim city strategy and considering Cottbus has two narrow lanes to go through (using Defensive Doc), if im thinking of the right map, this might be the way to go while your friend mounts an offensive. Some people might call me a noob for using sim city but I enjoy it so who cares. I dont know what the different bonuses are for each faction, sorry.

it s not that hard in fact, me and my brother crush 2 hard AI in about 3o min. in any map, just don t let him to take points on the map and you ll beat him :-)

Cottbus is about my favorite map. Try this approach:
Wherm: Combat support strat with MGs coupled with T1/T3 Blitz Strat for early Stugs/Pumas. Support your buddy's SCs with MGS and pioniere repairs.
PE: T1/T2 or T1/T3 Strats; Initial build Ket/PG/SC/SC/increased squad size. Initially use your two kets to capture the 5 points in the middle section of the map. Use PG to support SCs. Micro SCs hard to drive back Sovs and cap. If NI spam occurs go T2 for MHTs.
Doctrinal Suggestion:

• AT doctrine: Go with 2HT/Shrek raids on Sov bases.
• LW doctrine: Deep decapping operations with Funkwagon use in mind.
• SE doctrine: LHS, Decap and boobytrap VPs.

Cottbus is the type of map style I lump together with bridge maps (which I loathe with a passion) however, I decided to send you a clunky replay. It is not my best and it is certainly not what Id recommend you do in pvp nevertheless it is an EXAMPLE.

Note that if it were high resource I would have finished it faster OK?

[DrRockzo1986]

If you ever want to know how to be 2 expert Comps with a hard Comp Ally on Vire River Valley in 12 or 15 minutes (I cant remember which) using PE I have a replay of that

[Killar]

Don´t play against comp play against player. If you train your 1vs1 skills comp should be much easier for you

[EFkv10]

Thank u guys! i will watch the replay and try out Otto's advices. ill let u know how it worked.

DrRockzo1986:sure. its always fun to watch 2 Expert Comps going down
Killar:actually a 3rd friend of us playd with the COMP against us. with normal CPU we beat them easly, but with hard it was impossible. the different seemed to be so big it just tilted me...

[DrRockzo1986]

actually Ive never put a replay on here before so I have no idea where to start.

It's not "strategy" to block off 2 extremely narrow chokepoints against an incredibly stupid enemy. Crap map, crap gametype.

[DrRockzo1986]

Lol alrighty then

And up comes the +1

Are you referring to me? What's wrong with annihilate, I would have done exactly the same thing VPs or no VPs. And in case you didn't realise...

EFkv10, why are u thanking DrRockzo1986 when it was ME that sent you that replay
