If 2 Comintern-doct. Level 1 Infantry attack 1 Axis-doct. Level 1 Infantry, who will win?

It's Day 1. I am Romania in HWW, an Axis country. Yugoslavia, a Comintern country, sends a stack of 2 Level 1 Infantry to attack one of my core provinces. In that province, I have 1 Level 1 Infantry. Both stacks have 100% HP. He is attacking, I am defending, and the terrain is forests. Do I stand a chance?

Your home defense will help along with the fact that you're axis and defending against commies, but you'll lose that fight. You'll drop those units to about 1/3 strength, so they won't be worth anything after winning the battle.

If you can get another infantry unit there before they reach the province, you may win. But still, it’s best to let that unit die unless you get there first since you don’t want them merging at low health, and making your forces useless.

In this case I would try to get some arty/air support over, but if you can't, just let the 2 inf attack you... you will lose the battle but like @6thDragon said their units will be pretty much useless when the battle is done.

Can we just talk about how @6thDragon perfectly guessed the exact amount of health that would be left over?

I've always loved this calculator! I think it was the first thing I saw when I came onto forums, even before I made an account, and it helped me so much. Just used it for my Ukraine speedrun to check my 3 ACs can take on 4 infantry in core hills province! Thank you.
Have a blessed day <3

Ha, I cheated. I used the same program. I gave it a guess before that one would die and it would be closer.

I just lost the battle, but my 2 AC + 3 inf is on the way. Thank you!

Great. And remember, Yugo in HWW is not that powerful, so try to knock them out ASAP so you can get those cities on the west coast.

You may not be a mathemagician, but you still are an intelligent one indeed.

Seeing as Romania is Axis and this is seemingly at the start, I’d agree. He has this.
