I hope you'll keep a steady stream of CoH3 battle reports. Your competence as a tactician with an eye for setpiece moments is perfect for this game. Cheers!

Other tip: build barbed wire fence on the opposite side of cover, so enemy can't take cover and fire on you while capping a point

really cool seeing how much you've improved in such a short time. You've really got the RTS juice

hello, here’s a micro tip, cover bonus is negated within 10 range, this means in close engagement, it is way more important to let your soldiers stand and shoot rather than get to cover, it will cost them 50% dps while moving which may result in a losing fight

that bombing run at 25:05 was the nastiest thing I've seen all week. Content for the ages

Glad to see you playing COH3, your casting style works well with this game!

There's a saying in COH which is, "mines win games." Laying mines is one of the single best things you can do in COH, so your use of them was excellent.

Learning fast, my man. I was trying to do the same, first RTS i've played in a long time!! Looking forward to release and your future COH vids

Love the COH content! Turin I’m hoping your plans for expanding the channel in the new year are a massive success :) One of the things that draws people to your channel is your incredibly positive demeanor while playing these sometimes stressful games. It makes me want to root for you! All the best and thanks for the fantastic content

nice! your doing much better than the last time I saw, there are a couple of mistakes worth mentioning but honestly you did really well. 1. you didnt need the bazooka upgrades on your paratroopers at the start. what makes paratroopers really nice is they start anti infantry then turn themselves into anti tank within seconds, which means the enemy always needs to be cautious about them. Your early bazookas just didnt do anything helpful for a long while, gave away that there are bazookas up there, and as you learned later, could have just grabbed their bazookas as any armor threat tried to push up and counter. 2. this wasnt punished in this game, but you need to start pulling your armor back further from the frontline when you retreat them. a classic strat is to just ignore the one or two infantry squads and rush at the retreating tanks with whatever you have, kill it, then retreat back home. 3. you needed the ATG at the top just sitting there far sooner. German players get a big rocky hard on for getting armor free of your lines and roaming your rear without a care. The fact this particular German player made poor use of it doesn't mean others will as well, in fact, better german players could have probably won the game from that position. 4. you lulled in the mid game switching from the attack, which you were winning hands down, to a defense, which you struggled to keep up, to the late game when you attacked again and finished the game. The moral of the story is you probably could have won ten minutes earlier if you just kept up the attack from the early to the midgame. a minor note about caches, caches are fine in 1v1 if your winning and know it. they at that point are a win more mechanic. Like how SC2 players after defending a attack flawlessly will build one or two more bases instead of trying to attack. they might fail the attack, but they will for sure win the game if they are up a base on their opponent. Same idea for caches in this game. especially if you can lock down a fuel cache.

That armoured car & AT combo worked really well! Great anticipation of enemy movements.

Love you covering this game. You just make everything perfect.

Amazing entertainment!! I have been watching COH casts since 2010 - yours are up there with the best! You must keep these coming when COH3 drops in February.

A new acolyte to the cult of the mine. The mine protects, my brother. One more tip, AT weapons (tank shots, zooks, AT guns etc) shooting at units in destructible cover will always destroy the cover first. You can use that to your advantage in tank duels, attacking units in cover, or when using AT infantry

I wish there was more CoH 3 coverage ! This is so fantastic, keep up your amazing content.

on the top right of the units tab on the victory screen, you can swap between the players by clicking the portrait icon right above efficiency. That let you see your units performance

never got into COH before but seeing your stream made me jump into to the early access . Been having a blast

What a great tactical play, you did awesome by taking the initiative with the light vehicle and keep moving the area of engagement around! Catching those panzers with their pants down

Dude you've improved so much love watching you hope you put out more coh3 content when it releases !

Very nice watching you play this, so sad that the Playtest is done, I had so much fun with it. Also nice Linkin Park Reference. 😁

@5:08 Mines at points definitely works really well, but it's probably only worth making one per point, given the pretty big expense. @16:55 Forgetting that the Flakpanzer does more than mulch infantry is always funny to watch. @19:37 Honestly, I'm kind of surprised he didn't make a move for your base, since he had practically everything on the beach there: I don't think you had anything that could stop him from parking at the HQ and mulching everything that retreated.

This is crazy smooth. There's lot thing going on but the one thing that make the video very comfortable to watch for me is that there's isn't even one time a unit let and get forgot and died. You know where all your unit at, you place them where they needed and you retreat them.

Would love to see more CoH3 content on the channel, you're picking it up quickly!

Fun to see you play my Old Man RTS my friend. No macro needed whatsoever😂 however: spend your fuel! You were floating 200+ fuel while the opponent had 2 fat vehicles. In CoH2 the first tank is a huge moment in any match.

Really hope for more coverage of this game when it releases! I am gonna be playing the hell out of it for sure. Would love to get all your tips and tricks.

Great game to watch! With what you were saying about the early tree for the paras, I had some success with upgrading the scouts to pathfinders and using them as riflemen as they get upgraded with an extra guy and rifle grenades, until I unlock paras and just build the weapons support centre first, skipping the barracks all together unless I felt I needed mortars. Looking forward to watching more.

love the warhammer 3 and coh3 gameplay. Great fan of your content, passes by the time between classes!

Nice video, first time watching you! Building mines is fine, but try not to put them so close together; most people with 3 models down from an explosion will retreat and that's fine, you got what you wanted from those mines: commit less resources on defending. If you plant two and still don't kill the squad (squad move pretty spaced in CoH3) is a total waste and he will be expecting more shenanigans and be more wary. A big tip for you would be build 2/3 sections of sandbags and put barbed wire on the opposing side, your rival woun't be able to use the sandbags from his side to get green cover against you but you are cozy and well protected on the other side. Remember too that cover is directional, you could be in green cover but ift he enemy is shooting you from the read it won't matter.

Great video! I really enjoyed COH, I am not brave enough for MP but I loved how thematic it is. The single player is beautiful and it is a campaign I return to every couple years.

Great start to learning COH! It's the best strat game hands down! Its nice watching someone play the game for fun and not Max Min the strats. GG

I love watching these matches, hope you upload more

COH is my favorite strategy game of all time, so glad to see my favorite strategy KZfaqr playing it! And killing it!

Great game. You played your armoured cars very well. Rushing in, hitting his infantry and then bugging out.

Enjoyed your video style, really looking forward to the games release next month. I pre ordered it last summer when it was scheduled for a November of 2022 release and was bummed when it was delayed. But better it be delayed and more polished and balanced than being released with a bunch of issues. COH has been my favorite game series since the initial COH 1 release.

So much improvement since that first stream! Quicker reaction time would help a lot, peep the minimap/unit cards at the bottom for quick status checks.

as a coh1 and coh2 dark lord, i am reassuring you for what you have learned! good stuff!

When you place mines shift click your engineers away, that way they won't be left standing over the mines when finished. Also, attack move your troops when moving int9 unknown territory, that way they'll stop and attack anyone they meet.

You are a really good commentator. I've seen learn to play videos lacking this type of commentating.

While I love watching you karate chopped by dark lords, it is also exciting to see you improve and show those dark lords that the steel chair is stronger than the karate chop.

I love this game franchise, I hope you like it because it would be cool to see some regular vids on it. Super excited for this game!

@Turin on the units stats page the far right there are little blank icon silouettes for each player and that is where you switch which players unit stats your looking at. I have mentioned in feedback that this should be moved to the left with all the other filters for the post game.

The Company of Heroes streams were awesome! can't wait for the game to properly come out!

You've already mastered the light mechanized strategy my man, good work oh a good tip would be razor wiring the opposite sides of cover so that the enemy wont be able to use it

Please keep doing these! I love these.

I love CoH, really great to see your take on it

Love watching you play CoH3!

I'm not sure if Bazooka's are similar to in CoH3 as they were in 1&2 but if so... Generally they're good against light armor, but anything heavier you really can't have them just face the armor and expect much. They're best used for supporting AT guns and flanking the armor for rear hits, they'll lack the penetration to get front armor shots through. AT guns have much higher armor penetration, they'll usually get shots through front armor unless you're facing heavy tanks. Of course if AT guns get rear hits you're even better off. Also a note about sticky grenades. If a vehicle is (or gets) below 50% HP when a sticky grenade hits, it won't just slow them down, it'll damage the vehicle's engine, which makes it slow until they are repaired back up to 90%. That's something to keep in mind.

Great game and nice trap for the Panzer IV at min 23:30!

Amazing to see you play coh!

Nice Game; also wanted to say that in the Units tab of the score screen you can select which player's stats you are viewing in the top right corner. Not sure why it's way over there.

Loving the CoH3 coverage, excited to see some new blood in the community. Love the tww3 content as well, but CoH3 has more potential for a competitive scene. Im so glad the lootboxes and dlc commanders didnt come back after CoH2.

That was a fun game! Love your casts and if you're gonna try hosting some tournaments, i might just get into this game. :D

Dunno if it works in this game, but if so, you could cover your troops retreat by putting a vehicle in front of them, even briefly, just to stop any damage when out of cover

Turin! The M8's should be able to take out the Flakktank no problem!!! Especially if you can get them shooting the flanks!!

To be fair, I've felt pretty competitive in the Multiplayer Test, and although I did play CoH 2, I was a campaign enjoyer and never managed to get proficient at Multiplayer, so not a dark lord. There are similar elements, but since this was a ground up build, not reliant on CoH 1 code like when they made CoH 2, I think it is much cleaner and you won't be behind experienced players by as much as you think right now I think the change to have 3 different doctrines available to choose from in CoH3 rather than locking in one before hand prevents hard counters and keeps things dynamic so opponents can't automatically predict your build.

Turin, new here, have you played COH a lot? I really enjoy your style of commentary and play. Very cool, thanks for the content!

Man I really just wanted a new Dawn of War game with this feel of game and combat. :(

Stoked for this game and your tournaments in it! I’m hoping to get better at it than Aoe4 😅

Great job from one of the dark lords! Keep it up!

Used to play a lot of COH, maybe I'll get back into it.

Wait till those dark lords hear you cast one of their games

Game looks great. Was a huge fan of the first two. After the disappointment of DoW3, happy to see that this looks good.

damn GG turin awesome game

Excellent game! RIP Chester

The pathfinder vision is stronger than the para drop machine gun (im my opinion) if your super serious about "skipping tech", you can go with the weasel, it can deploy the Machine gun and the mortar, you just need to recrew them. this is a great support weapon stall into a super fast light/medium tank.

Great game! First one of yours I've seen where you had a really good offense, rather than feeling like you were on the backfoot and reacting.

Unnnnggghhhh the wait is so longggg

congratulations, you are now a dark lord

You should chase down retreating forces with the greyhounds

What do you think of COH 3 ? I really want to start getting into the multiplayer scene when this release’s , I’m a total noob tho 😂

The early game MG was pretty clutch. You could try a sniper too. If you move it from building to building, it clips enemy squad member and when your opponent has a lone squad down 2 guys, he is gonna retreat to replenish. So he spends his time just running around and you also bleed manpower. There is also the psychological factor, because hopefully he starts to spend his time finding that sniper. Snipers also hard counter MG teams.

Gg man looking forward to the content at release… I think you could have finished that game earlier if you’d pushed harder for map control in the early game, instead of defending the victory points. Got that Domination mode mindset from WH3 still! :)

Hey Turin, how would you compare COH3 to Dow2? obviously DoW2 was based on old CoH, but is DOW2 chunkier? meatier? Less or more tactical?

I'd love to see you cast some replays of this game

Blitzkrieg mod is the best grafic explosions and all i stay with the mod but iam happy its still going on

@turin please when casting Company of Heroes games change the camera using "Alt" or "Ctrl-Alt" and mouse to allign it so that your base is at the bottom of the screen and enemy base is at the top of the screen. It helps a lot in understanding of the battle and other factors. It is also the same camera you use in Total War games 😄

It's the tech test of the game have various glitches because it's a older build of the game without the the final illumination aspects and low textures... Wait until 23 of February and when come out we will see that... And company of heroes it's the game with the best mechanics of a rts genres... I play various rts games... Men of war, steel division, age of empires, rise of nations, empire earth, command and conquer, sudden strike 4, StarCraft, iron harvest, cossacks, metal fatigue (this game it's so old 😅) and for me the game with more deepness on gameplay and that plays different all the matches it's company of heroes... It's a classic of the rts genre and one of the best

I'm so hyped can't wait for a me coh

I think this will be amazing game

Finally someone showing airborne

At the start of the game you might be better rotating you engineers to where you think you'll be fighting the most, (usually the middle on this map) and wiring off his cover to favour your future engagements. Keep up the good work! :)

Nicely done. How many hours you spend in the test? Definitely put in some hours for the video. Hope CoH becomes a regular feature on the channel

Personally, I prefer the pathfinders into WSC opener. Pathfinders are good enough to play the role of rifleman until you start dropping in actual paratrooper squads, and they have access to rifle grenades and smoke without having to pay for upgrades. Then you can buy MG teams and bazooka teams for AT without spending munitions. I don't really see the paraMG team being worth it unless you're immediately opening with that very first thing to grab and lock down a key building or choke point right off the bat.

I skip the barracks and go straight to the motorpool when playing airborne

this game seems pretty cool

Shit, I didn't even know there was a third one coming! DoW4 after I hope!

Put on your Boots, Boots, Boots and Parachutes...

Kind of gameplay similar to Dawn of War so this game in 40k universe + gladius on world map = total war warhammer 40k, sound good!

reminder : units that are in "very" close range to enemys ignore cover so no bunuses inside a few meters

I think if you played or narrated Men of War, that shit would be insane.

good content!

That carpet bombing was sick!

Yeah, I haven't had a chance at the beta test. But, if 3 is anything like the previous 2, I would really suggest you make an effort towards fuel quickly at the beginning. Expecially if CoH 3 Germans are as reliant on fuel for late game as they were in 2, contesting and limiting their intake will be a detriment to their progress.

Still amazing how CoH 1 is still far better than any of the new stuff

Please set up a PSTD channel for the old veterans with shaky hands and slow reflexes. I have always enjoyed this franchise but get absolutely wrecked if I even think multiplayer.

Wish i'd seen you play CoH 1 ! Unfortunately this looks like a step back from the first two games.

mines on vp are so worth. Most players dont expect it

So do you like the game? Will you play it at launch?

Is the test still playable? How has the playerbase been?

I really love the content even tho I have no idea whats going on. How about making a simple video explaing to us warhammer folks what this game is about?
