OMnom vs Smitty on Warwind, 30 minutes Grenadier play, multifront base pushing, parabomb and demo truck hits, over $300,000 in combat losses and 1,000+ dead. I gave it a go, and that match was hell of a ride! Thanks for posting, highly entertaining match with the best Danger Close Demo I've seen in...

I think they might carry an inherent bias, as most good players tend to gravitate towards Allies nowadays _because_ of the strength of pillboxes. The script is not biased, we are the ones that are biased. If it's just the basedefences that cause the imbalace, we will (hopefully) see a different rat...

Chimpo, it seems to me that most of your matches tend to happen on maps with many chokepoints, which is where the Allies' strengths shine the most. Try playing more open maps and have a mobile army, find flanks on your opponents instead of attacking into their line of base defenses and make good use...

Personally, I'm a big fan of current Orca hit'n'run mechanics. They have their fair share of counterplay and are in no way an appropriate substitute for a well-rounded army, but still feel really impactful if you manage to get picks on harvs/tanks. They are more about poke and kiting than direct dam...

Thanks for the submission Wippie!

This week we are going to observe some hijacker hilarity, as AMHOL and Yellow are trying their hardest to outcheese each other. Featuring one of the most hilarious bugs I've encountered so far!

First off, you need to save your map as unzipped. Then, open your map.yaml and add "Rules: rules.yaml" at the very end - this will tell the game to use a custom rules set for this map. Now you need to create said rules file - simply create a text document and save it as rules.yaml. In this file, you...

I would actually like to see Volkov implemented, but with a different identity. The Sovs don't need a carbon-copy of the arguably most iconic infantry unit in the game, but something completely different. I made a couple testmaps where I implemented Volkov as a camouflaged anti-tank sniper capable o...

@JaZz_KCS: The tesla coil does indeed fire 3 bursts even against vehicles, but in such rapid succession that it seems like a single zap. This can be confirmed by the fact that a tesla coil that targets a vehicle that is at such low health that one mini-burst would be enough to kill it still has 2 mo...

Thanks Cake! I've watched the replay witout knowing you had submitted it for casting, but your approach to breaking his destroyer camp was not very well suited imo. You should have targeted the naval yards with your subs, deterred them with IC+tesla coil or (since you already had a tech center) MiGs...

Thanks Talon, going to have a look at it! This week I was blessed with so many high-calibre submissions that I actually had a hard time choosing which game to cover first. My pick of choice turned out to be an interesting case study on naval warfare in a really high-skill matchup between Medium Tank...

True, it was pretty risky, but he kept up the pressure so I never could tech or expand.
All my ore patches got denied, and I never caught his MCV because I needed the Yaks to keep his arties in check.
