How would I counter fortress and heavy assault spam.

I played a match where I did really well scouting and I also had more resources and tech than my opponent but I somehow lost.

I tried getting Armadillo, porc and snipers , I had two factories of each

If you're ahead, you should have a larger army than your opponent

glad imp
#

I had

waxen badge
#

Did you have max CP?

glad imp
#

for lvl3 hq

waxen badge
#

Then it could be that you didn't have the right amount of each

#

Or didn't play the fight correctly

#

Having your porcs hold, Snipers spread out shooting, dillos targeting the fortress together while pulling back, away from the heavy assaults

#

Your dillos should be engaging and disengaging

#

Should have at least enough dillos as Fortresses

#

Rest of your CP can be Snipers and Porcs with # of Snipers > # of Porcs

glad imp
#

my snipers kept targeting fortresses

#

its hard to micro around the heavy assaults

#

I need lessons 😭

waxen badge
glad imp
#

wait u can do that

#

i didn't know

#

alr

#

but how to micro dillos and snipers at the same time

waxen badge
#

It's in the first or second campaign mission 🫠

glad imp
#

i though double tap is select all units on the screen

waxen badge
glad imp
#

how to spread

waxen badge
#

Go into campaign, press and hold the different squares on your screen

#

You'll learn something ^^

glad imp
#

squares?

#

the unit icons on the bottom of the screen?

waxen badge
glad imp
#

wdym im not that noob lol

#

i just donno how to spread

waxen badge
glad imp
#

yeah i know

#

i know this one

waxen badge
glad imp
#

so this is spread

waxen badge
#

...

glad imp
#

i thought i was just position

#

not so convenience taping dozens of squares

waxen badge
#

..... select their positions in a spread out manner

glad imp
#

but tapping that many squares is not convenience

waxen badge
#

Double tap a unit to select all on a screen. Position them in a spread out manner. Then control them normally. They'll start out in a spread out manner, then carry out orders from there

glad imp
#

alr

#

so they will stay in formation

waxen badge
#

This will greatly improve your gameplay as it reduces the effectiveness of things like AOE or flamethrower

glad imp
#

or ill have to use the patroll thingy

#

im so cooked

waxen badge
#

Of you set your Snipers in a horizontal line and the enemy army approaches you perpendicularly, then your Snipers will overall cover a wide area, choose different targets and for a Fortress to get all of them, it would have to travel one by one (while being shot at)

glad imp
#

alr

#

If they're clumped up, they all shoot in one little bubble and one fortress can kill all of them fairly quickly

glad imp
#

wtb dillo micros

waxen badge
#

Go forward, shoot Fortress. Then move back

#

The Heavy Assaults are gonna chase

#

Fortress is gonna chase

#

Fortress is slow

#

Dillos shoot while moving

#

While Heavy Assaults chase

glad imp
#

got it

waxen badge
glad imp
#

what if they just go for my snipers right away

waxen badge
#

Heavy Assaults also have to stop to shoot. They can't shoot and move

waxen badge
#

Think about casualties

#

Imagine a line of Snipers

#

Imagine a line of Porcs, spaced out a few squares in front, but holding position

#

Then you are moving dillos

glad imp
#

no if my dillos bait and retreat it will expose the snipers

waxen badge
#

Your goal is to pull heavy assaults into Sniper range

glad imp
#

ahh

waxen badge
#

Not to retreat your dillos behind Snipers

glad imp
#

so i have snipers way back

waxen badge
#

^^

glad imp
#

game is domination, so ill have snipers camp flag while dillos bait

waxen badge
#

You see their range, it's a circle. In a line, it's a lot of circles

#

A lot of circles in a line is a big area in a line ^^

Play around bringing the heavies into that area ^^

glad imp
#

btw ur scounting tutorial from last time is goated

glad imp
#

i got all except one containers that match

#

W scouting help from last time

glad imp
#

this game is more tuff than i thought

waxen badge
#

The more you play, the easier it gets

#

Once you fight certain compositions, it starts becoming natural ^^

#

Also btw, you should do the same with rifleman!

glad imp
#

alr

#

like spread and then patrol

waxen badge
#

Spread them out so the assault grenades don't hit multiple

#

I'd only use patrol to cover areas to stop scouts tbh

glad imp
#

dont they mess up formations if i double tap

waxen badge
#

Especially at R10

waxen badge
glad imp
#

i see

waxen badge
#

However, if you spread them out and double tap, when they engage, they'll be spread out fighting

glad imp
#

alr

#
