BWA = damage inflicted (soft attack) x damage absorbed (org). This has the net effect of keeping your infantry units in a firefight while minimizing the causalities of your units.Īll this being said, the true value of Militia can only be understood with battle winning ability (BWA). A Militia unit that has lost half of its strength has only lost 2.5 manpower, while an infantry unit in the same situation has lost 5 manpower. Militia will act like a sponge for bullets in your formation.
Superior in costs, time, TC, supply, and manpower. Superior in staying power: Decreased loses enable infantry to fight longer. Superior in losses: more units spread causalities evenly. Superior in combat: more units are inflicting damage. Hence, building 3 militia and 2 infantry (1,930 ICd) versus 3 infantry (1,995 ICd) is a far better choice because the mixed force is: How do you get the most army for your production? What will you build over the next 3 months? Considering this time frame and the IC you are using, this equates to 2,000 ICd.Īccording to the findings made by Theokrat, 100% combat efficiency is achieved when the majority of a formation consists of militia. You are a nation with 22 IC available for production and you need to build an army. These facts aren't necessarily surprising: since Infantry is a better combat unit, it "should" cost more, right? Yet, combat isn't only about statistics! In particular, there is more to combat in HOI2 than attack ratings, and this will be explained in detail by the following analysis.įurther comparison is available at Ground_unit_statistics.Ĭonsidering that every unit in game requires: "IC to build x Days to build", also known as IC days (ICd), consider the following scenario. Infantry costs over three times more IC days (665 versus 200). Infantry costs twice as much in manpower. Infantry increases TC load by five times. Infantry uses five times as much supplies. 2.2.3 States which cannot afford Militia, manpower-wise. 2.2.2 States which could use some Militia. 2.2.1 States which should rely heavily on Militia.
