Composition of armies

[Danalp]

Hey,

I'm a new player, curious about the best composition for armies.

Do I want armies to have a mix of infantry, mountaineer, armored divisions, or do I want 1 army of only armored divisions, another army of only infantry, etc?

Thanks

Welcome to Hoi4. Think you came at a good time as the latest DLC really fleshes it out,

I'm not a min maxer so somebody may jump in with that advice

But generally, because armies benefit from their specific general's traits it's probably best to have them have same or similar troops.

So as Germany my 1 Panzer Army will have tank divs, but also some motorised to defend flanks of break through.

I will have s Special Army with either marines or Mountain but that will have some infantry divs to make up the numbers.

So generally same-ish but filled out with infantry to make numbers up or defend provinces.

Don't worry too much you can swap divisions around armies pretty easy.
