EIR Strategy Cast #3

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67rfboZiLMw&hd=1

I took a different approach this time:
- No pausing
- Short episode (25 min, instead of 1 hour)
- Higher graphics
- Focusing on 1 specific strategy

Optional for the future:
- Widescreen
- 3vs3 with co-host
- Replays without me
GG


Alright enough for now. Time to drink beer and watch EK2012!

There should be an added link in the launcher for new players to be directed to a strategy cast.

Next time, try to lower the music volume when you're about to talk: fade it or so...

Good job on making the cast, once again

[Blanzalot]

I am loving your 'manic' behavior Skaffa...thanks for the SC's

Another great cast!

Its cool how you talk about different strats in each cast. the first two maybe were more general strategy, and now in the third one it gets more specialized. really cool!
Also like how its only a 25min video rather than an hour.

[Shabtajus]

nooooo, the longer the better

i see what u mean here

Fantastic SC skaffa. Love that you boosted the graphics.

Sent you a PM regarding future SC.

Touche.

Now PM me on how to edit doctrines ^^.

Good replay, btw, but because the game is stacked it loses strategic value imho.

[MorkaandBorka]

Ddude....I didnt watch one second of it ok?  And im getting ready to watch it, im on your intro ...so i read the thing at bottom saying stuff about rifle nades and flamethrowers....I was gonna come on here and say "Skaffa we always had the best games using this strategy"  and then you go on and say "Ok so im here with morka"....wtf

Also I don't really agree with this.  BECAUSE it was stacked you were able to see the strategy at it's finest and made it easier for skaffa to explain and see its follow through.  We used this strategy in 2v2's not just on regular players but against the top players of EIR and it usually went around the same way tbh Volksi...Go ask skaffa, he'll tell you the same.

well again skaffa is explaining the strategy very well. but, the allies did well in this case, axis after the first time just throw infantry away and away and away and yeah i pretty much cant like this. Its too one sided, because yeah smoke is good strat but what can the axis player do against this? No its not a good idea to just waste inf in stupid rush actions without any strategic use of combined forces.

So all in all a very good example how to use the smoke strat usw. ... on the allied side but a possible reaction of the axis players are missing in this case from my point of view.

hmm idk, maybe i expect to much from it but yeah it felt as if the cast was not complete enough 

[skaffa]

Right.
I havent seen anyone else use this strat when I was still playing. Never faced it as axis myself. So ye, a counter, hmm I would have to guess and speculate.

I must add tho that you have a good point. I think I didnt discuss it because for one I never faced a counter pretty much so it wasnt floating around in the back of my head, and 2 it was a slight subjective SC. 'My strat', 'I like it', 'Its awsm' etc. It was me sharing what I thought was cool so I focused completely on allies perspective and how to execute it. If I did it with more objectivity then I would have prolly discussed what the axis should do, I think. I didnt really talk about whats bad or the weakness of this strat. When I look at some other guy playing I immediatly start thinking if it has any weaknesses. I think I also wanted to keep it short this time, was a short replay as well. Anyway you got a good point, thx for feedback.

[ALLiDOisWIN]

LOve this method. Use it a lot and is very nice tactic!! 

[aeroblade56]

l2notstomp. my advice, having a enemy who knows what they are doing is a different story and a different strat. a stomp any strat seems possible that being said it was nice seeing this. i sometimes run a 2-3 officer coy with lots of flames it doesnt have the endurance for long games but its incredibly aggresive it works well if your fast.

[Shabtajus]

very nice idea of moke usage, but players who faced this strat most of the time strugling playing against any strat used vs them, as example of usage and tips about using cover is good but i feel if u had oponents like Delfinas, Mysth or Wind i truly believe it will not be so effective, in SC u clearly see axis dont bother move inf when they see smoke incoming, better players moved there inf and when u will be out of smoke nades u would fail. plus heavy tank coys would be pain in ass as well, and still SC shows how Morka sux even with rew units hehe, FU fatty 

after all good SC and would be fun to watch more balanced teams
