Best units to attack

i have been trying to figure out what to buy for the best land attack for aa europe (to attack russia) for your money.
in regular, usually the best build is 2x as many infantry as tanks (this is for attacking power only). of course there are cases when this ratio should be slightly modified.
With europe, they added artillary making it alot more complicated. For amphibious assult, infantry and artillary, but what about on land?
Inf + Art = 7 ipcs = 4/6’s hits/rnd
inf + tnk = 8 ipcs = 4/6’s hit’s/rnd

so it’s cheaper to buy art and inf, same hits, but cheaper
but what about the fact that in multiple round battles, infantry die first, and if you have tnk’s and inf, then those inf are not as great a loss since they only hit at 1, where as in the force with inf and art, the loss of each infantry means less hits the next round.
So this makes me try to figure it out. Sure you can just build some of each, but expert’s can’t do that, they need the most efficiant build. Tanks and art have their advantages and weaknesses, what’s the best combination? All tanks and infantry, all artillary and infantry, or some tanks, some artillary, some infantry. I know it varies from situation to situation, so what would be a situation where you would build tanks, artillary and infantry all to use in the same attack? This is using calculated odds, not just what you guess.
thanks, I think that the correct builds of these three units could potentially make a huge difference in the game. Maybe it will become more clear what the best builds are once europe can be played online. What do you think?

i was just wondering mainly because i find the attack better for your money to buy a combination of infantry, artillary and armor. In regular aa, the best attack (for your money) ratio is 2:1 infantry to armor.
Basically i know you need more infantry as germany, and i know you will build more tanks (after your infantry start moving out) but the real questions is, how many artillary do you need? exactly since any artillary you build takes away from your infantry. rather than build a bunch of each, or mostly infantry or whatever, what is the ratio for a 6 turn stack, a 7 turn stack… it’s complicated to get it completely perfect! I believe this will make the difference in the game for expert play!

I believe that tanks are better for russia (mobility), but i’m mainly concerned with the correct german purchace.

first of all i would like to point out that 1/9+2/3+4/9=11/9 so there is an error
secondly, i am looking to get the cheapest attack for you money!
infantry + arm attacks the same as inf + rtl for the first round
after that, the int+arm attacks better since the infantry killed only attack at 1 not two, but since inf+rtl = 7 and inf+arm = 8, then there is a theoretical ratio to get the best attack on moscow. That way if you find it, you can find the optimized turn to attack moscow on, and therefore, you will fine tune the game!! you will have 20-28 arm reguardless since they have mobility and you can move them in, the question is, how many infantry/artillary are needed to make 24 arm the most efficiant, what’s the ratio, and how many of each? This is basically dealing with super fine tunning the strategies used in the game!

you seem to know more than most “newbies” anyway, i think i’ll have to do that, run the battles. here’s what i got for a 6 turn stack (build a force for 2 turns then move into moscow by turn 6)

assuming there are 88 infantry on moscow and 4 fighters…
in reality there are all different units, but it’s just a “defence force”
also assumes 1 fighter dies before it can attack moscow, and 1 get’s shot down to aa gun
also assumes you have your original 12 armor plus 16 more since you can more in 8 each turn for two turns after the men step out of berlin (however with only 8 more the conclusion is the same)

buy all artillary:
11% without air
36% with air

buy half and half
20% without air
50% with air

buy all infanty:
27% (air not attacking)
59% with air !!!

hmm looks like inf only are better… let me see though!

buy inf to rtl on a 3:1 ration (cash-wise, not numerically)
26% no air
57% with air

ok so it looks like under these conditions only build rtl to fill the cash
ex: you have 40 ipc’s build 12 inf 1 rtl
of course save the dollar turn 1, only do this on turn 2.
but there are more variables than i have included, perhaps it needs to be carefully figured out each game.
this is for a 6 turn stack, maybe a 7 turn stack is different. what do you think?

I have heard about heavy artillary stacks, but now i don’t believe in them!
remember this is just a general rule, to really be on the edge, you would have to have a calculator ready every game and calculate 5 or more turns in advance. This knowledge should improve my wins by 5% or more since i was building 10 artillary turn 1 with germany sometimes…
don’t forget to bid 4 infantry!!!
thanks for reading

yes while the inf/rtl combination is cheaper, the inf/arm allows better hits in later rounds (after the infantry are dead) As it turns out, to be efficiant on moscow, germany only needs 1-2 more artillary than it has at the beginning, so buying large numbers of these is not efficiant!!
