2xMOT, 2xTD is good because of the CA bonus and especialy if you have a CA bonus general. But 3xMOT + 1xTD does NOT give the CA bonus even with '43 tech levels..

thanks for the answers. i have a few more...

what is the effect of ENG on coastal defense with forts exactly?

is the speed of ENG fixed to 8 or is there any research to help it increase?

if i add ART to MAR, do i have any penalty for amphibious assault and speed?

is there any difference between softness values of 33% or 66%? do you still get the same exact CA bonus?

ART will lower your overall amphibus attack since it is subject to a hugh penality. Seems you can't fire arty guns from the sea.

Difference between 33% softness and 66% is oh 33% according to my math. LOL But seriously, the lower it is the better chance of forcing the enemy to use their HA value which is usually much lower than SA value. The CA bonus is the same.

fort = {
attack = 0.40
defence = 1.0
}

I think this means a 100% more on combat effectiveness (duplication of the HA and SA values)

BTW, this I extracted from the files of the game. Just give it a look on the directory where you installed it in the units directory

Also, for divisions in general, are you not better sticking to 3 or 4 width division so you can fit an extra unit into the availible frontage?
I'm pretty sure that width five also lets you stick an extra unit into the available frontage, for a total of 15 combat width on 10 frontage. This is much better then 2, 3 or 4 width divisions that would only get 12 width into combat.

Since the increment of frontage available is always 5 you will always be able to stick an full extra 5 width division into combat (if using only 5 width divisions).

About the port garrison thing, I generally tend to just keep an armoured corps in Paris, to attack any landings made in western Europe, it's much more cost-effective than all of those garrison divisions.

:)

i think that`s a good idea. and may be a MTN division for Norway ?

another question, is the defense and offense effiency of ENG affect the brigade itself or the whole division?

It should be an average, cause for the game the basic unit is the div and all is calculated in the div level. For example: in a 3 inf & 1 eng div, you should lower your fort penalty -xxx/4 and in a 2inf & 2 eng -xxx/2

The speed of ENG is fixed at 8 but it would be very easy to mod that in the game files.
