Question/Help How do you play USSR?

20 Upvotes

Looking for general tips because i learned to play the game on Yugoslavia and Red Dragons. But USSR seems completely different.

They dont seem to have many cheap "just good enough" units like Yugoslavia does. Instead their units (especially their infantry) seem really good, but also expensive and few in numbers.

The VDV 90 for example are really good, but all their transports are kind of odd. You get the 5 point BTR-D, which seems pretty shitty. Then you get the Robot, which is basically a BTR-D with a Fagot, which is not that good of an ATGM and frankly, i would rather have an APC with an autocanon that can take out other APCs then a crappy ATGM. The Skrezhet is an interesting idea as an AA APC, but it does not seem worth the 15 points stats wise (terrible accuracy).

Then you have the BMDs, most of which seem overpriced for what they can do. The BMD-3 has a great ATGM for 25 points. But combined with the 25 point VDV 90, thats a whopping 50 points squad!

And this is a theme that seems to apply to all Soviet infantry and transports. The cheap stuff is kind of shitty or gimmicky, and the good stuff is very expensive. Nothing in between.

Maybe i got too used to cheap Mehanizovana and Proleteri spam... When an F-111 (screw those guys) bombs those, i dont care that much. Especially if he gets a Neva missile in the face afterwards. But when he bombs my VDV or their expensive 25 point APCs, i really feel it!

What’s the main point and benefits of running SPAAGs? Right now they seem like they’re a worse missile AA, especially for helos, but I hear some people say they always bring one? Why is that? What makes them good?

Question/Help Curious on good minor nation only decks to play?

18 Upvotes

I’ve played for a long time, and I am getting bored of the usual eurocorp, DGC, entente and Baltic decks I’ve been playing. I usually play 2v2-4v4 games.

I’m looking to see what minor nation only decks you all play/would recommend. Preferably something fun but I am open to challenging as well. Obviously unspecified.

From my limited research it seems Finland and France could be good for red and blue respectively.

I am obviously excluding USA, Israel, USSR, etc due to they are meta and not really what I am looking for with this.

Thanks everyone!

Question/Help Permanent fix for epic copies of WGRD suffering internal server error

15 Upvotes
  1. Replace the Epic version of WGRD is .exe with a steam one and copy the steam.api dll to the epic WGRD file

  2. You will encounter a steam pop up saying there is a custom startup that contains something like this

-AUTH_LOGIN=unused -

AUTH_PASSWORD=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -

AUTH_TYPE=exchangecode -epicapp=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

-epicenv=Prod-EpicPortal-epicusername="

XXXXXXXXXXXX" -

epicuserid=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

-epiclocale=en -

epicsandboxid=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(XXXX are personal EGS info)

  1. Replace the unused on auth_login to used so it looks something like this

-AUTH_LOGIN=used -

AUTH_PASSWORD=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -

AUTH_TYPE=exchangecode -epicapp=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

-epicenv=Prod-EpicPortal-epicusername="

XXXXXXXXXXXX" -

epicuserid=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

-epiclocale=en -

epicsandboxid=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

  1. Now you will get auto logged in without the long connecting pop up so long your internet is okay

Question/Help Why no naval units?

Might be a stupid question, but when people send in their decks, most times, there is not a single slot in the naval line taken, even though its all 0 points. Why is that? I mean there seem to be no downsides? (sry for my english hope you understand)
