please, by all means, enlighten me.
The fact that you stated complete nonsense and misinformation as you did, means that anything i say would just be countered with more of the same.
But here goes, Blizzards have been so toned down there barely existing, even when they were powerful a few tactics could quite easily keep them alive.
Deep snow is rarely a problem and are only in a few places, never in retreat paths (i would challenge you to run through deep snow) except for maybe 1 or two locations and even then ITS A STRATEGY GAME. You are supposed to account for your surroundings, maybe retreat a little earlier?
Flame HTs are a viable tactic now, but they are hardly overpowered especially since you can get guards and atgs up in about the same time.
As to the keeping of units, vet is a huge boost now. It more then makes up for the upkeep cost. Even with the upkeep it hasn't been too hard to hit pop cap.
As to the off maps, i just don't have a clue which you are talking about, any of the high damage ones are so visable and have an audio cue, they are easy to dodge not counting the massive munition costs 200+ that are required.
