Does anyone know how many troops can you stack in one province during late game? It is mid game for me now and I cannot stack more than 70,000 without heavy attrition. Single column concentrated attack : Light Infantry Army such as Tribal Army, and even Nomad Horde Troops may enjoy better morale preservation if they are concentrated. I have also planned to keep 10 such armies completely occupying my western border provinces.įor late game, I have never reached 1880s till yet, so I cannot tell about that era. Then rearrange your main army to have two 'holding' flanks, evenly matched against the opponent, and one 'breakthrough' flank, with extra troops and your best offensive commander. The cavalry are again independent units operating from behind, although I created this layout for late-game Great War (WW1) style battles, so I have planned to replace all cavalry with airplanes once they become available. I had planned to increase every army to at least 120,000 but even 90,000 is too much for supply limits in Alsace-Lorraine where my armies stand. They are mostly:Ĭavalry are usually an independent institution that I keep behind the lines, and let them engage once the main army in front has gotten into fight.įor the mid-game, I am currently in my 1870-80s German Empire. Late game, replace the infantry with tanks and the dragoon with a plane. For early to mid-game conflicts, my armies usually consist of 30,000 men i.e. Early game (1836-1870) the optimal army composition is 4 inf, 4 arty, 1 engineer, 1 dragoon. I had posted this in Vicky2 official thread here many times, but I thought this matter deserved it's own thread, so that people can share their ideal army sizes and their compositions with ease.
