British inf spam can work?

[Dingle]

I was just wondering if anyone else had used a brit inf spam with vicker Ks and a mix of engis and inf section succesfully, I did it in an earlier game and found myself being able to play very aggressive a lot more, a long with the M3 Halftrack by my side.

Edit: Changed the title to spam rather than blob

It might work, till you get hit by a panzerwerfer and loose everything. Learn not to blob.

I make more of a spread out line than a blob, and when their vets and use Vickers it seems cover isn't that essential to winning the fight. Also having a sniper backing them up can work quite well, it's a different play style that I haven't seem too much and it seems to have potential

I don't like to blob as brtish as I find it hard to give them cover for ROF buff. Blob is only cool with conscripts with SMGs

And a halfttrack ofcourse

Brit blob doesn´t work. 3 sections is late game, mid game 2 is good enough and it´s better to get Vickers, AT gun etc etc. And fuel points for the nice fancy tanks.

Maybe against okw that ukf infantry spam will work, but not against wehrmacht

ISG reks the spam followed by the Robocop Troops

In my game I must pay 45 MP for a single tomie, over 2 squad the manpower bleed is insane,
UKF isnt the faction for blobing

And a tip: the 5 men squad uppgrade is a noob-trap

I don't think it can and even if it could it is incredebily aweakening your army. Devs really haven't repeated the same mistake as they did with USF and OKW

Yeah a noob trap for people who can't keep squads alive.

Yep the upgrade only really serve for resistance, they already beat every other base infantery in cover and for fire power, build caches for LMG is more useful lol

If I have fuel to use up, I always get it. It helps in a few situations.

isn't it better to unlock LMG than getting one extra model in the squad? It would have been actually worthwhile upgrade if infantry section didn't have this crazy MP bleed.

Think you gotta rush to Centaur AA before you even consider getting squad size increase.

Bolster I find is quite useful against OKW. A 25% DPS increase isnt something to frown at, plus it reduces the chance of a 1 shot wipe from AoE weapons.

Against Ost, teching T2 asap is far too valuable. Plus rnades make upgrading slow, cover reliant infantry pretty much pointless anyway.
