The sections focus on creating a quality vs quantity army by strictly using more elite units while maintaining a healthy armor ratio. Such measure is better than using infantry en masse (blob) that have limitations in the long run and more options to inflict the enemy maximum damage.

I enjoy helping others by writing about technical topics to a higher standard and provide key findings for a higher chance of success!

The guide is for everyone, but much friendlier to new players. Everything will be explained to be on the same level as those who are the most experienced. The writing will be easy to follow with plenty of screenshots for those who are too lazy to read everything!

At the first second, train the HMG team at HQ and instruct the Pioneers to build Infanterie Kompanie. Send the HMG to the front line and preferably a building that can be garrisoned in. Select the Jaeger Armor Doctrine for Spotting Scope and Elefant (more explained later).


The next step is to establish a good capturing path for the pioneers with the third sector being fuel or a VP at the frontline. They should also be able to react to enemy infantry if they are trying to flank HMG. Skilled opponents are ungrateful for MG rounds and need to be hugged by Pioneers when they attempt this maneuver.


When there is 340 Manpower, begin training the first sniper then the second one. Then upgrade HQ to level 1 when there is 40 fuel.

The starting Pioneers are enough for the entire game to capture early sectors, plant mines, and repair tanks. They need the pioneer support package for faster repair and even throwing satchels at mortar emplacements.
The anti-personnel mines (S-mines) should be placed on front-line sectors to injure and deter infantry. Skilled opponents like to capture rear sectors that will cut off fuel sectors and a full 4 tile minefield can be planted there. The frontline sector would need about 2-3 and replanting frequency depends on how fast they react with getting minesweepers.

The tank mines are best used in chokepoints to destroy early light tanks or cripple mid-late armored units. Their placement requires caution as they can also destroy own units when being attacked during retreats. Teller mine should be used sparingly in early game to save munitions for more bundle grenades and panzershrecks.

During late game, they can be used as an additional layer of protection against enemy armor charges. The mines need to be placed in areas that are blind spots that expose vulnerable flanks. The preference is to select locations that are not commonly used by own armor.

Wehrmacht snipers have the fastest firing rate and are permanent thorns in the enemy's side. The idea of using dual snipers is to have a mobile support team that replace mortars and can be easily relocated/healed without too much delay. Their purpose is to use their long range to soften and root out infantry that are sitting on key sectors.


They can also kill and stun infantry groups with their special ability.

Note: Snipers work very well against UK forces that have a smaller squad size and have bonus perks of using green cover. Some are too lazy to notice they are dying.

During the mid-late stage of the war, the enemy usually spams AT crews across the battlefield like candy. The dual snipers will have earned veterancy to swiftly address this nuisance with the help of the tank's spotting scope.


The average score for snipers should be scoring be at least 80-90 kills.

The enemy can decide to get snipers for the purpose of either anti-infantry or countering the sniper. If the latter, they will hold fire and lie in wait but will need to be out of position towards the very front to be within shooting range.

The solution is to advance forward with Panzergrenadiers and supporting Snipers with holding their fire or staying in the very rear. In general, snipers need a nearby object to conceal or they will be exposed . The enemy could try to be aggressive with counter-snipering but will be thwarted with the buffer provided by Panzergrenadiers.

After HQ is level 1, train 3 Panzergrenadiers to serve as the core infantry because of their starting Stg 44 rifles and passive evasion. One of the three is converted to an AT crew and usually the first or second squad. This provides protection for the Sniper against suicidal cars or vehicles that the enemy might send early.

Please refer to the Herr Panzergrenadiers guide above for more details.

The surviving MG can use Incendiary Armor Piercing rounds to destroy light tanks and melt suppressed infantry. The latter bypassing all armor protection given to suppressed infantry denoted with a yellow exclamation and can wipe out the whole squad in seconds even if they are in cover or entrenched.

Most special/elite troops are short-range like Shock or Rangers that can be stopped with a well-placed grenade. Medium-Long range like Guards need to be handled together with snipers while taking cover. If alone, Panzergrenadiers could safely get closer to the enemy by using trees/shrubs to conceal advancement then throw a concealed grenade or even a blind one.

Snipers can also be used to weaken them if sides and flanks are secure.

The Pioneers will construct fuel caches at safe rear sectors once there is surplus Manpower after having enough Panzergrenadiers. They should build around 2-3 fuel caches that can be protected. Mines can be used but do not build them too close to avoid destroying the cache.

When there is plenty of fuel, upgrade HQ to level 3 and build Heavy Panzer Korps building. The first tank is the Panther because of thick armor and high health to live for another day. The second tank needs to be the Elefant to deal with long-range enemy tank destroyers unless map has heavy vegetation. The third tank will be another Panther if the population cap was not reached..

Once the Panther joins the battle, it needs two upgrades of MG and Scope. The panther's scope alone will provide great vision for the snipers and even locate AT crews that is outside of their range.

The Elefant will take over as the main AT to provide massive damage at very long range.

Enemy tank destroyers can be easily dealt that out-ranged the Panthers. Their Achilles' heel is slow speed and rotation. The Panthers have a new role as bodyguards to protect the Elefant's rear and sides from enemy tank charges.

Each map will require some time to study the terrain. Certain maps have easier sectors to defend while others are open field. The areas with natural choke points will be easier to defend and require less attention. The starting position will determine how much more effort needs to be made to maintain control.

The response to help allies will depend on the competency and aggression of the opponents. Panzergrenadiers will be more than sufficient enough to help the ally, especially if the enemy is either sending blobs or a light tank/vehicle. Snipers should only be sent to assist against entrenched units or against specialized units (e.g. Shock Troops or Rangers) to soften them.

The low-casualty doctrine does not mean that allies should get infantry en masse (blob). The purpose is to provide reliable solutions against all threats. During the late game, most allies will struggle against enemy AT and Tank Destroyers. The doctrine excels in late game and eliminates the obstacles that will keep VPs in friendly control.

During late game, the game will all be about VPs only and the enemy will send suicidal squads to capture them. Victory will depend on sheer endurance to control the battlefield and rebuilding what was lost.

The major threats in the final push will be planes, rockets, and artillery that can destroy irreplaceable units. Always be on guard for enemy ground flares and react right away! Snipers need to just retreat if seeing flares or hearing rockets because they are most likely being targeted.


A more defensive strategy is needed and can be done with snipers.
