Default Re: What proportion of infantry to armour do you play with?

I agree with some others on this thread; I typically prefer to use a one to three ratio. One tank company supporting about three infantry companies. Or one tank platoon supporting one infantry company.

One to three is the 'rule of thumb' but this would be adjusted depending on terrain, mission, visibility and other factors.

Typical ajustments may include going up to four infantry companies, supported by one tank company. Or buying a tank company (to support three infantry) but then removing one or two platoons of tanks.

I usually also like to support three infantry companies with a battery (8 tubes) of artillery, not including mortars.
