In another thread Ivan posted the then current distribution of strategies people are using:

Citat:
Tank General 874
Perfect Defense 483
Naval Commander 197
Master Of Stealth 126
Imperialist 113
Guerrilla Warfare 70
Sky Menace 52
Blitzkrieg 7
Lucky Bastard 1

I was thinking that this could be a general thread for the users of the less popular strategies to post our tips and tricks for using them and maybe drum up some interest in people for trying those strategies out.

I'll start with Guerrilla Warfare. This strategy is best for those maps or countries with high manpower and low industry. Start by building as much militia as you can in the early game. With 5A and 5D, the massive number you can produce should be able to take on any opposition without much support. Remember to consolidate your gains and not advance too far too fast. It's easy to overextend when your troops move so slow. Because of militia's slow speed, be sure to think ahead a couple of turns. If your eastern front is well in hand, don't send more militia over when they'll need to slog across your country to defend an attack on your western front. Finally, in the mid/late-game, use the money you've saved by buying militia to purchase as may 100pt marines as you can to sneak around enemy lines to cap objectives while your militia defend the home front.

I've just started to use Blitzkrieg and am still working out the kinks, but what I've found out so far is to never let up on the attack. Once you do that, the -2 to defense for all units comes into play and your fronts collapse faster than Germany's eastern front did post-1943.

So what are y'all's tips for your favorite strategy?

the equalizer Objave: 332 Od: USA	21.05.2011 - 23:16 the equalizer I thing I like to do in High - income areas with SM is to use bombers for defense. THis only works in high income areas because bombers are so expensive. I'd prefer to stack up large amounts of bombers instead of infantry, because I have noticed that bombers have the same amount of defense as infantry, and once they are needed, they can wuickly come in, do the job, then fly back to the capital if needed. ---- Učitavanje...

Dream The Dream Team Objave: 129 Od: Jamajka	12.07.2011 - 00:44 Dream Napisano od Colt556, 27.01.2011 at 23:33 I've been using Blitzkrieg for a while now and I don't see a problem with it. As you pointed out if you go on the defensive you're screwed, but you are using Blitzkrieg as your strategy, you shouldn't be on the defensive. I think the main reason that strategy isn't used is because it is expensive as fuck, and a lot of players cry their eyes out of their units don't have insanely high stats, I mean just look at how marine users cried like hell when marines got 7/3 stats. So while it's under-used, I don't think it needs any buffs or anything, it's simply a strategy most players don't like. I'm sure those seven of us who actually use it realize how good it is. its epic like mee ---- SAY IT WITH YO CHEST Učitavanje... Učitavanje...
