With skirm/goon, even though you should lose to a good ger you can always poke and hope he overcommits , kill his army and win.
How is it hopeless to go for a cav war against germany if you have goons and they don't??
Skirm goon just loses badly to skirm uhlans... That's like the worst thing to do against germany lol. You need stuff to block the uhlans, and then once blocked they melt to goons. Without any meatshield you'll just get caught. That's why you usually need hand cav against germany.
You need some hand cav to block that's true but if you don't make a skirms mass you're going to lose badly.
They actually have goons: the 9 black riders, and if you go huss/goon your huss will get rekt by uhlans/brs while your goons will die to the ger skirms.
Honestly, skirm/goon just doesn't work vs RE Germany.
The 9 BR take 60s instead of the regular 40s to come on the field, and during all that time you're idling 1000g. It's not like you can do that in every situation, it's actually quite a big risk to take.
Btw, BRs lose to goons. They don't have a range resist, they're actually not that strong of a unit. They're just cool for ger because they're goons, but they're not OP. I'd rather have regular goons, especially since you can send cav combat at some point, than BR. Br even have 2.5 multiplier vs cav instead of 3 btw.
If you have like 10-15 skirms yourself, it should be enough to snipe the BR down, and because you have way more goons than the ger 9 BR anyway, you will still win the cav fight. The uhlans will melt before your huss, because you have more goons and huss tank more than uhlans, and then you're left with hand cav while germany lost all his uhlans, and you're just fine. True, he's gonna snipe your goons faster since he has more skirms, but he will lose the cav war regardless. And germany still needs to somehow deal with the 2 falcs in the back.
Yeah I agree skirm goon doesn't work vs RE germany, and that's just fine since cav + RI > goon + RI, that's basic counter system logic. If you can go skirm/goon and beat skirm/cav, it means the counter system is broken, and skirm/goon is unbeatable. Sounds really boring
