Hospitals are there to preserve manpower and retain the combat experiece.

Recon and Engineers are generally going to be the most use support company types used It depends on your situtation and what you are using different formations Logistics and maintenance are nice to have but are lower priority for tech research so get added later to units that need them.Ĭavalry of course get MP and are used for suppresion. I add recon to elite troops at middle priority but it is a low priority for others. The small movement buff is okay but not essential and perhaps not worth the organization cost for some units. With a big recon advantage I may notice better tactics more often but a small advantage I might not notice. I tend to add line artillery or SPG to many divisions so I have less need to use support artillery. After organization buffs later on this is less of an issue. Support artillery is good and added to many dvisions but if my division includes line artillery already it may bring my organization down a notch below an acceptable level for a relatively modest bump in soft attack that is already good. Hospitals preserve precious manpower which will be my primary restriction later on and is very slow to recover so I think it is best to start protecting it early - long before it becomes an issue.

The defensive and movement bonuses for engineers are significant for relatively little cost. I don't fill up with everything early in order to maintain high organization and save on some production.Įverybody gets engineers and hospitals and are the highest priority upgrades.
