Best 18 ipc's spent on land defense

[suprise attack]

It could be all Inf. or all Tanks, or any combination.
Lets here what you have to say

[wheatbeer]

In most scenarios, 6 infantry would be my pick for defense.

If I lack aa guns and the enemy is ready with a lot of air, then I might include an aa gun or guns.

If I’m likely retreating from the position (but it won’t fall immediately), then some mech or air might be desirable.

Depends a lot on how serious the threat is.

[ItIsILeClerc]

Pure defense, nothing else considered, 6INF.

But it is of course like Wheatbeer said; depends a lot on the situation…

If defending a not-to-be-given-up location while still have to be building up for counterattacks, might build 3ART + 2INF instead.

Etc. etc.

[Der Kuenstler]

All infantry - best defense rating for the money and longest staying power due to a greater number of them.
