Well firstly, watch for damage efficiency. The more of the same unit stacked, the less damage efficiency. But, bigger stacks also take less damage.

Stack Composition?
Anyone up to talk strategy?
How do you compose your stacks? Do you separate different units (or kinds of units), do you combine with a strategy, or have little concern over the combinations of units? What factors do you find most important? Speed, efficiency, strength?
I am level 24, and have been playing for a couple of months, sticking to one game at a time and learning the game through play and research. Unfortunately, I wind up fighting AI most of the time, which might not exploit my lack of knowledge here. I currently separate for movement speed and haven't had issues with efficiency, which might just be luck at this point.
What do you think?

I find stacks of 3 tanks and 3 infantry to be most effective, along with an antiaircraft or two in there. It can take cities, plains, and hills/forests pretty well. For mountains, I use infantry and sometimes commandos. But, like Sir McSquiggles said, it is all about the SBDE.

Is damage efficiency based only on the number and combination of units, or are there other factors?Sir McSquiggles wrote:

Depends on terrain, but usually I'll want to include AA, and exclude artillery which I keep separate.

I use a lot of armor, especially in a current world map because my battlegrounds have been on the expansive plains in Central Russia and East Asia. I use a stack of 15 mediums as a breakthrough, and flood the areas behind with a mix of armored cars and light tanks, usually keep them in stacks of 8-10
