![]() And what are you going to do when the Marines take Normandy? Counter-attack with your ARM? So what? The Marines brought their Shermans with them. Taking Tokyo in 12 hours was never so easy. Adding ARM to a 3xMAR division might seem stupid, but the better terrain bonuses of MAR counteract the penalties of the ARM, while the division still gets the benefits of ARM (armor and penetration). The terrain advantages of MAR meant that you could attach other brigades to an amphibious invasion and really wipe them out. It is not like marines and paratroopers are useless after the initial naval/airlanding aswell, since you can use them just as any regular infantry that actually even fight better in some terrain than regular ones. I want my tanks to fight the enemy tanks, not to get shot up by the coastal guns during the landing or to get sunk by submarines near the coast. You might get away with regular troops, but will suffer heavy unnessesary losses, which atleast i am certainly not going to take just to save a few extra weapons and wasting a quatermillion men in the progress.Ītleast in my oppinion there is little to no reason to dont send an first wave of marines to clear the beaches and then send in the rest of the army with little risk of being intercepted or heaviely damaged during the progress. Thats why you want to take the invasions as little time as possible, to reduce the number of reserves the enemy can bring in. Mountaineers combined with the fortifications will make it extremely hard for the enemy to push through there, especially without mountaineers from themself.Ĭlick to expand.yes, but hindsight will cause atleast an human german player to defend the beaches well enough to repell invasions and have enough reserves in the back. Countries like spain or italy for example have an natural defensive line in the mountains at the border to france for example. Mountaineers of course fight best in, well, the mountains. Marines are essential for naval invasions or if you attack over great rivers like the rhine for example, which are extremely usefull defensive positions for the enemy. Paratroopers for example have better organisation than regular infantry and can of course be paradropped. ![]() Special Forces cost more than regular troops of course, but they are usualy better than those aswell. Some marines can and will be usefull for the Italian army, since you can, if you manage to get naval supremacy in the mediteranian, do some naval invasions to cut off enemy troops in africa or, more importantly, take the Suez and Gibraltar to lock out, or lock in, parts of the royal navy. The UK, USA and Japan basicly need marines, since they will do alot of naval invasions. Countries like Switzerland, Austria and Italy will benefit greatly from mountaineers if defending for example. Special forces are situational of course.
