"Elite" militia?

I just saw this for the first time. From a historical viewpoint, elite militia are a bad joke. There is no such thing as a militia unit that could have gone head to head with an American, British German or Soviet frontline infantry unit of the same size. A well-trained infantry unit would have crushed a good militia unit every time. Only if we include some completely new game concept of guerrilla warfare does this remotely make sense.
