Contents InfantryInfantry - General purpose infantry.Light Infantry - Lighter version of the above unitThe conventional mainstay of an army. Infantry consist of regular foot soldiers, supported by organic mortar teams, machine gun crews, anti-tank teams etc that expand its offensive and defensive capabilities. Its Light counter part is stripped from all heavy equipment thus weaker but faster, lower supply unit that is cheaper and faster to build.Militia - Poor mans infantry and emergency gapstop.Raised quickly from any bodies available and sent to the front with minimal training, militia are used when one cannot afford the time and expense of producing regular infantry, or simply wants to have as many boots on the ground as possible as quickly as possible.Very low training time, low stats and organization battalion. Extra defense in forest, mountain, urban, jungle and marsh terrain. May be used: to form some defensive line very fast as they can be deployed after 8 days in training.Garrison - Good at one job only - defending and stalling.Garrisons are stripped down versions of regular infantry formations, specifically equipped and employed for rigid defense position.

Like the static divisions employed by Germany for the Atlantic coast line defense.These have higher defense, quite good AA attack. Slightly cheaper to produce with lower manpower requirement than regular infantry. They lower breakthrough - if you add them to normal division those will be less effective in attack. Almost as long training as ordinary infantry. I recommend keeping garrison divisions in separate army/armies from your offensive divisions.Mountaineers - Specially trained and equipped infantry that excel in maneuvering through and engaging in rough terrain. They receive bonuses in hills and in mountains.Marines - Specially trained and equipped infantry units which are proficient in naval-based invasions. Unlike normal infantry, which can only engage in amphibious invasions upon naval ports, Marines are able to launch amphibious invasions onto any form of coastline, regardless of the presence of a sea port.

Marines should primarily be used by nations which boast strong navies (British Empire, Japanese Empire, United States) as the player will be unable to launch a naval invasion without first having a certain level of naval superiority within the part of the sea the invasion is taking place.Paratroopers Specially trained and equipped infantry able to deploy via parachute. While they take longer to train and have slightly worse stats than normal Infantry, Paratroopers are the only type of unit that can be paradropped into the field. This allows them to perform operations behind enemy lines and in locations where other units cannot easily reach.Mobile BattalionsCavalry - old school horse mounted infantry. Close to useless for anything except anti partisan duty, or encirclements.Semi-Motorized Infantry - larval stage of Motorized Infantry.
