what kind of settings are you using for your MEs?
Map size, build points...?

About Company sized engagements:
30x50 map
~1250-2000 points
all realism settings on
no tank-heavy AI
standard maps (I usually 're-roll' any that have water or are complete city/forest maps)
I dont have any saves at the moment (I guess there are no 'layered' autosaves anywhere, right?).
But its easy to see IMO. Just fire up a battle with those parameters (say, 1990 Sov vs WGerm...take a Sov Motor Rifle combined arms force).
I'm not saying its impossible to win but I find it FAR easier to win if I also go with a foot infantry-heavy force than with any form of combined arms force. This has been my experience with MBT for a while now (again, excluding conditions that dont allow for foot troops).
And yes, you can tailor a force to beat infantry, but that's not the point IMO. The issue is whether it simply costs too much to field mechanized forces vice much larger leg-mobile forces. I tend to think 'yes'.
