Very well done. The strat seems most effective when the opponent doesn't adapt to it right away, allowing the DAK player to cap his own resource points after securing the VPs. Often before the first engagement occurs, you know you're facing this strategy when you see more than 1 VP go to the enemy. I think this opponent didn't adapt well to your strat, and he had >100 VP drain before stabilizing, and then you did a fantastic job of keeping pressure on the VPs. The VP rush is appearing in several casts and streams in the last few weeks, and I usually see it stall out at the 100 VP drain mark.
Good reflection! Indeed it's easy to spot! I agree countering it by consolidating a single VP, stabilising and slowly working forward with troops near each other is the way to go. This strategy is becoming one of my wild card options for all factions, but DAK seems to do it best!
Awesome! There is always something to learn. Even this game it reinforced the point to me that I can't rely on a single mine to protect a whole flank. 11:43 & 12:52 sums it up! :)
Happy to help, but I need a bit more information! Can you be a bit more specific about an Airborne build that you struggle with? Airborne can be so flexible it makes it hard to respond! Is it the call in HMG taking key garrisons early? Is it the AT drops buying time until tanks hit the field?
It is mostly early game map control. There are so many infantry on the field with Pathfinders and airbornes, I cannot keep map control. Since they are stronger then Grens and generally outnumber me I cannot really win engagements. With the map control the M8 Greyhound horde arrives before I can go for a proper anti tank counter and its over.
@rarisoy Ahh Pathfinders can be tricky. My best advice is a 3 or 4 Grenadier based build into a very fast 221 Scout Car. Even better if you get the MP40 upgrade on the Grenadiers so you can sprint and quickly close the gap. Pathfinders will trade decently at max range, but not short range vs Grenadiers. I'd encourage you to watch this games first 10 minutes closely and see how my Axis opponent positions his Grenadiers effectively in the early game to counter my 2 Pathfinders and 3 Riflemen.

So fun to watch, thanks for the great and useful content
Glad you enjoyed it! VP rush!!! :D
Thanks for the uploads! I always learn something new from everyone of your videos to improve my gameplay :)

Really enjoy ur videos! I learned already a lot by them and it inspires me to be more creative too. Love from italy! ❤
It's nice to hear I've inspired you creativity! Grazie mille :)
Love your vids! Would be cool to see you play Wehrmacht Luftwaffe sometime
Most definitely! I enjoy playing Luftwaffe and I have some interesting ideas for the upcoming 1.8 patch
Interesting strategy. I need your advice on something. I am really struggling as Wehr against US airborne. What strategies do you suggest?
