US Island Hopping

Don't play US nor use amphibious mech or tanks much, so I'm not experienced enough to know how well this would be, but essentially it's an island hopping division for the US on Japan. Late enough to get the equipment necessary, logistics to keep supply in-case of red sea or negligence against their navy. Shovel to get buffs in amphibious terrain, might be expensive though. Amphibious tank for extra breakthrough and attack. This is just one of the other things I want to show to try to experiment more and push my skill. Give criticism of course. Thank you.

Generic Special Boys

High organization special forces with a minimum amphibious landing % effectiveness. At around 50% you negate the landing penalty. Designed for limited offensive operations, but mostly good org. If you are wealthy, and engineer vehicles for more stats. If you are really wealthy, the marines get much more HP as amtracs, which turn you into a bit of a monster even if you can't go full speed with this as amtracs get too many discounts, so it can be conditionally worth it.

Bathtub Assault, bathing warfare.

I promised you a commando free division template this time, so I present you with the fastest, highest hard attack bathtubs I have while being able to poke the limits of 1k soft attack and having a strong flyswatter. This fails that promise, I used marine commandos here. I can never be free. Bathtubs are able to operate independently of pesky armored doctrines, so you can pick armored doctrines that buff regimental armor a lot while you optimize your rocket and recon units that forget to bathe to a comedic degree. Did I mention its not too difficult to make bathtubs dirt cheap and this also gives you ok cavalry? This is mobile inf.

Mechanized Marine GBAD Division

This mechanized Marine division, specialized in Ground-Based Air Defense (GBAD), is an elite formation intended to be fielded in limited numbers. It is designed to spearhead amphibious assaults against enemy coastlines and secure the landing zone through its strong anti-air capabilities, substantial fuel storage capacity, and entrenchment potential; the latter two stemming from the inclusion of dozer blades and fuel tanks in the medium tank and medium flamethrower tank designs. The unit is organized according to a 3:1 structural ratio. For every mechanized amphibious battalion, one amphibious medium tank battalion is attached (it should be noted that the amphibious tank battalion is not currently available in the designer, therefore the medium tank battalion has been used as a substitute reference). The doctrines and support companies have been selected to reinforce the division's GBAD role while still maintaining the other key combat statistics required for its assault-oriented mission profile. Given the elite nature of this formation, both the division template and the tank designs have been conceived to remain compatible with the industrial capabilities of a minor nation seeking to specialize its armed forces in naval and jungle warfare.

33W Marines

Built to dominate naval invasions. Not just getting ashore, but holding its ground and pushing while waiting for reinforcements . The Flame Tank support adds terrain bonuses across tile types which boosts the marines capabilities. This template will perform well whether you're landing on a jungle coastline, a fortified port, or a river crossing. The Field Hospital is there since at 18.2K manpower per division, losses pile up quickly when your division isn't armoured. Best for: Committed naval invasions, Pacific campaigns, fortified coastal assaults.
