Great content. The only minor thing I would add is it is super common for players to tunnel vision. You did point out the value in attacking across a variety of areas, but I would emphasise how easy it is to get caught up in a fight on your 'preferred axis of advance' and miss out on easy flags.

The one thing that I might add (this video focuses a lot on the minutia of deployment which is super beginner friendly, and great advice in general), and this is a comment from my own experience and what helped me figure out how to deploy and formulate a strategy is often I look at the division I'm fighting against and take note of their unique units and strengths. Especially on a map like this, if I'm facing someone like the 26th Guards, I'm might want to try and draw them into the open where their Shturmoviki ROKS can't be as effective (I like to think of the 26th as a CQC division, and rules the forest). Or if they choose the 6th South African who will probably want to favour armoured swings through the open, I'm going to want to try and force engagements in a city, or ensure that the forests are under my control so I can pop AT assets in and out of cover. Granted, that comes with experience and probably not beginner friendly advice. But it's something that helped me figure out how to deploy, and often how to counter the gameplay favoured by certain divisions. Awesome content, Atk!

On most army general campaigns, and by this i mean all but baltics and karelia, you can encircle the entire front of your enemy. This doesnt work in maps with lots of units and bottlenecks, which is what the above are. But, in for example, Orsha, once you break through on a small part of the flanks, you can rush in and cheese the campaign in 6-7 turns with very few battles. And encircling is very good in this game - after 3 turns they are considered routed and disorganized + they gain very few action points. In vistula, I reached warsaw in turn 4 with a full-fledged force.

Hi, I'm still learning the game and I've only played the AI. On this map the AI dumps a lot of troops on the right side of the map. I understand what you're saying about flags but in my experience (so far) the AI swarms units from that side more than any other. However, I do enjoy your video and have subscribed. Thanks for your ensight.

Atk, what are your thoughts on encirclements? I remember back in Normandy 44 you had airborne troops and in SD2 you have marauder troops which have the special ability to basically BE encircled but still operate normally, hinting at the fact that encirclement is a common strategy when it really isn't in my experience. I VERY rarely see encirclements. My question is, do you think a macro strategy focused around encircling your enemy is viable? And if so, what would that look like? I've always wondered if it was cause the maps are too thin, meaning if an encirclement is about to happen, the enemy player can simply call in more units to help and have plenty of time time to get into range of the encircling unit and take them out.
@atkpwrgaming
2 жыл бұрын
Encirclements are rarely worth it in SD2. The benefit of encirclement is minimal, most of the time if you are able to encircle you had significantly more forces anyways so it would have helped. The only significant benefit is they have nowhere to fall back. But that’s rarely worth the effort and half the time your own units end up encircled instead
@yamyeeter1185

@@atkpwrgaming Yeah that's a good point. Going for encirclements can be a very risky strategy. Requires a lot of game sense and a little bit of a gamble. I don't know, I kinda love the IDEA of encirclements, but in practice they don't pan out. The idea of a platoon of raiders or paras breaking out of an encirclement sounds cool af, but never happens. Almost wish we could call in a paradrop or something and drop marauder/para troops behind lines mid-game. That would be cool lol. Thanks for your reply!
