Inf/Militia Q

[unmerged(181610)]

I have been reading this guide in the wiki and am considering using it while playing as SOV's. My Q is this, since it is recommending using a ratio of 3 milita/2 inf, my units then need to be in groups of 5 correct? 5,10,15 and so forth right?
Has anyone used this philosophy to great success?

Never used that. I usually go with 9 when dealing with infantry. 6 when dealing with Armor, and 12 when you have to face huge armies and you have got plenty of field marshals

But seriously, as the SU you need to get rid of your militia and replace with infantry because got IC and Manpower plenty.

As the Soviets, I used armies of 12, with either 9inf/3mil (where I expecteed heavy attack) or 6-6 for the provinces were terrain favored me... This gives you way more units and I managed not to get pushed one step back from the beginning of Barbarossa, just streamroll Germany (After Barbarossa started, I also focused more on tanks cause then I got the better techs etc)

all these recommendations under the question. BWA conception is very arguable. There are too many factors to consider in fact.

I would recommend you just use common sense.
Militia has three uses - diversions, defence of difficult terrain, and cannon fodder. So, use it with any ration.

I often use stacks 3inf+6mil.
You could also finding useful in defence 1arm+2mil. Such armor could defend so long due too cannon fodder and +15% combined bonus.

As SU you might as well try using LOADS of militia. I tried it once and I had something like 800 militia divisions when the germans attacked. I tend to use ~95% INF and the rest ARM though.
