In a 1v1 automatch game last night I played a equally ranked (around
level 7) British player on Langres. My opponent tried a very
interesting approach, one I have not seen in the roughly 100 online
games I have played. He didn't bother to capture any territory but
aggressively tried to skirmish right away with infantry sections. If I
had not been prepared to be aggressive as well I would have been in bad
shape. Instead I met him with Volksgrenadiers. I was also able to gain
the entire map with Pioneers while he quickly tried to dig in on the
middle of the map with 2 MG nest and a slit trench. Normally this would
have caused me to panic but I could tell he was over extended without
grabbing any resource sections. I made a MG squad to cover my flanks
and took 2 Volks squads and Pioneers with Flamers around to flank his MG
nests. In little time his forward positions were toasted and I was
outside his base. The game lasted only 9 minutes.
