All i got to say is how do you guys play on EU all the time? It is like attacking a RM turtle with Wraith back up, while you are in a Lib Dread with starflee back up.

Boo_the_hamster Wrote:Greetings chaffee drivers. Recently after some tedious heavy-based company action on RU cluster we had a crazy idea-creating a chaffee company for sh** and giggles.
This would certainly entertain everybody-getting into a swarm of light vehicles against such heavy opposition seemed to be counterproductive, but we decided to try and see what would happen. My friend Wlame was the commander, and i co-ordinated chaffee pack.

Our set-up was:
Light group
6xChaffee
1xT-50-2
Medium group
Panther2,T-44,Pershing
T28prot AT SPG
4x Arty
2xGWPanter, Lor155, SU-8
Total 15 tanks and 90 points

This company was surprisingly effective on test run, scoring us 7 wins and 1 lose, which came from wrong tactics and general inactivity. Fun fact, when opponents see this crazy opposition, most of them seem to don't have any clue on how to fight against it. With cleverly used mobility and great firepower, chaffee pack could wreak havoc on unsuspecting heavies. The trick was in having a mobile meatshield-t8 meds and temporary plug, an AT SPG. Though german ATs would be better for the role, t28prot worked well enough. With T50's recon we could adapt to our enemies and hit them where it hurts. Arty was chosen on account that they will have to keep pace with us, by the way, any t5 arty will do, last player only had su-8, so we took su-8. I must add though, that this setup requires well coordination and cooperation-you'll have to get great scout driver, good chaffee pack coordinator and arty drivers as well as skilled commander.

First-Crimea. Enemies were shunned by our setup and let us to destroy their light forces while heavies were hiding in the base. They were torn one by one
Second-Redshire. After spotting our opponents' heavy rush we flanked them, got into their base, raped arty with a pair of defenders, while they tried to dislodge our AT from its hilltop position.
Third-Mannerheim, enemies stretched too thin and were destroyed one by one. Nothing special
Fourth-Komarin, we lacked initiative and let enemy arty get our stuff while picking our collective noses. Fail.
Fifth-Erlenberg, assault, defence-enemies spread out better than those on mannerhem, we had some trouble dealing with their heavy rush, so we flanked and got their light and arty support first, then returned to defend base on last seconds. Our commander is picky when he chooses men for his platoons, and for good reasons.
Sixth-Prokhorovka, assault, defence-quick scouting revealed enemy rush for farther crossing, our arty was able to damage them heavily. After discovering that they left their AMXes unattende by heavies, we got them in big rush and got into field, which resulted in dead arty and let us to pick their heavies from safe positions.
Seventh-Murovanka, a straightforward massacre. Enemies lacked in scout, arty and tactics departments, so they just bunched up in a corner and were torn into pieces.
Eighth-Airfield. At last, enemies with win ratio 55%+. They attempted all-out center rush, supported with AMXes. We gently let heavies pass, pinned down their AMX support and focus-fired on surrounded IS-3s. Heavies haven't even fired a single shot.
