According to wiki, having a skill advantage > 1 also allows breakthrough to be valid. Is that correct? I would imagine in SP you could farm such an advantage pretty reliably with some nations, given past threads on farming general xp/traits.
Code:
tactic_breakthrough = { #counters ambush
    is_attacker = yes
    trigger = {
        is_attacker = yes
        phase = no
        OR = {
            hardness > 0.5
            skill_advantage > 1
        }
    }
    
    active = no
    
    base =  { factor = 4 }
    picture = breakthrough
    
    countered_by = tactic_backhand_blow
    
    attacker_movement_speed = 0.5
    attacker = 0.25
    defender = -0.15
}

The OR generally means you could have either of them, so the skill advantage would replace the need for the hardness.
