Instead of commanding entire Armies, players lead Divisions. Each Division has slots for each of the main categories -Infantry, Light Armor, Heavy Armor, Support, Artillery and Aircraft- with one slot allows you to take one type of troop. The four types specialized Divisions are: Infantry, Armored, Aerial and Support.

Infantry Division (InfDiv) are straight forward, have as many soldiers holding the line or advancing it as you can. This format focuses on the humble foot soldier while still giving it plenty of support should the situation demand it. These InfDivs are the most common style used in regulation play due to versatility, thematic customization and comparative cost.

Armored Divisions (ArmDiv) are the steel beasts that roam the battlefield and the iron treads that crush resistance under them. They have the most numerous slots for armored vehicles but their limited assisting elements can make them vulnerable if improperly lead. ArmDiv players often focus on having reliable anti-infantry vehicles to count their low infantry slots. They can devastate front line engagements but have plenty of counters in the form of infantry and aircraft meaning that a miscalculated advance or unsupported breakthrough could be disastrous.

Armored Division [+]

Aerial Divisions (AirDiv) fight a battle above the ground. They have the ability to strike far beyond the front line and well placed bombing runs can ruin entire divisions. However, their ground forces are known to be used purely in defensive roles as they rely on their airfields to keep their venerable aircraft in operation. Many players are known to use cheap ground forces and focus all their efforts on the air war.

Aerial Division [+]

Support Divisions (SupDiv) are the unsung heroes of team fights. Rarely the most glorious or prestigious and sometimes the least noticed, the presence of dedicated SupDivs is a godsend in prolonged battles where ammunition and injuries become apparent. They primarily focus on recon, artillery bombardment, combat engineering and other rear line actions and roles which the more direct combat divisions would consider below them.

Each Division Slot can hold a certain type of unit which is further divided into subunits. While there is no hard limits on what type of units are availalbe to each Division, I would like to see some realism in unit compositoin. That is to say you would likely not find veteran shock troopers in an AirDiv or too much beyond recond planes and a few bombers in a SupDiv.

Commanders are also important and will take up a slot on their own. There are three types of commanders: Infantry Commanders, Tank Commanders and Supply Commanders who can lead both SupDiv and AirDiv. You need at least one commander unit in your Division.

• Infantry
  
  • Regular/Line = Run of the mill main line troops. Nothing too fancy.
  • Light/Recon = Small, mobile groups of scouts used to track the enemy at range. Snipers also count as these.
  • Militia/Partisans = Untrained and often poorly equipped, these irregulars make up for it with numbers but don't expect miracles.
  • Shock Troopers = Aggressive, elite infantry meant for rapid assaults who excel at close range.
  • Infantry Commander = Commander officer with a retinue of experienced, veteran troops who come with their own personal transport.

• Light Armor/Fast Attack Vehicles
  
  • Armored/Combat Cars = Typically used for transport or local fire support. Can range from a WW2 Puma to a modern Humvee.
  • Armored Transports/IFVs = Dedicated transports with fire support. Can range from half tracks to BMPs.
  • Light Tanks = Lighter armor meant to scout ahead or keep up with rapid infantry advances.
  • Cavalry/Motorcycles = Often seen as a joke unit and rarely used but creative (if not desperate) players find many applications for them.

• Heavy Armor
  
  • Medium/Main Battle Tanks = Bread and butter of armored units with a good balance between firepower, armor and speed.
  • Heavy Tanks = Beasts of battle, their ponderous yet unrelenting advance intimidates with every inch of ground covered.
  • Tank Commander = An experienced officer learned in the ways of armored warfare accompanied by an ace crew.

• Support
  
  • Ambulance/Medics = Unsung heroes that allow for on the spot recovery and treatment of injured soliders.
  • Supply Vehicles = Self explanatory, giving extra munitions and spare weapons to troops, their value increases as time progresses
  • Flamethrowers = While dangerous, they can prove instrumental in denying the enemy cover.
  • Anti-Armor Troopers = Everything from RPG teams to anti material snipers, anything that can fuck up a tank's day that isn't a vehicle.
  • Combat Engineers = Repairmen who can also build defensive works with the right doctrine.
  • HMG Team = Heavy machine guns that are unrivaled in area denial, suppression and mass slaughter.
  • Supply Commanders = Talented back line officers capable of organizing both supplies, artillery and aircraft but is lacking in combat capabilities.

• Artillery
  
  • SPG = Gun carriages and any sort of artillery piece that can move itself.
  • SPAA = Any anti-air system that can move itself.
  • Mortar = Shorter range, high arcing fire perfect for local artillery support.
  • Howitzer = The mortar's bigger and angrier older brother.
  • AA Gun = Anti-air systems that can be just as effective versus infantry and light armor as they are against aircraft.

• Aircraft
  
  • Recon Planes = Lightly armored planes meant for scouting the enemy position for information is also a weapon
  • Fighter Planes = Versatile lanes meant for dog fighting and ground support.
  • Recon Helicopters = Aerial recon that can provide constant and steady intelligence in a local area.
  • Helicopter Gunship = Local aerial fire support better against ground targets than air.
  • Bombers/Ground Attackers = Pure ground bombardment craft capable of leveling battlefields although vulnerable to dedicated fighters.
  • Paratroopers = Elite infantry used to inflict damage in the enemy's back lines; comparable to aerial shock troops.

To help customize your divisions, Doctrines represent modifications you can make to your divisions so they stand out from another player's division. There are three types of Doctrine: Composition, Specialization and Mixed. Composition mainly affects the number of slots a Division can have, allowing them to trade Troop slots for one another or add more of a certain Troop Type. Specialization allows players to take new units that aren't present in the base list of Troop Types or additional tactical options like Amphibious vehicles, Fire Bombs or Communication Jammers. Mixed are a mix of Composition and Specialization Doctrines, adding new units while also affecting slots.

Players can take up to TWO Doctrines for their Divisions with no restriction on having to take one of one type and another of a another type. If you just want new units or just want more units, go ahead. In addition, there is no hard cap on how many slots a Division can have so long as they have Doctrines that allow them too have that many.
