Semi-Armored scout screen

compatible with zombler doctrine. Its cheap, it dodge, it have HP, and minimal armor with high attacks, spotting, and potential accuracy. Because of the army spirit, expect crazy high torpedo accuracy. The zombie will want some sort of carrier backup, and underway replenishment however.

Wow its as fast as a torpedo cruiser or a high speed escort cruiser, wow. You can only see it from the horizon rather than from space, wow.

Maygar Hussars (Aka the smell of Magyar and napalm in the morning.)

So... Yeah. Hungary has probably the strongest support equipment manufacturer in the game, allowing for some of the funniest mobile infantry setups in the game. Also like, 30% breakthrough for infantry weapons. Also, the motorcycles milestone makes all your support eq and rifles 15% cheaper. They have bicycles. Assault, breakthrough, bicycles. (If only support equipment manufacturers 5% speed went on support eq too.)

True Socialist Road Runners

Between the Decentrilized army (I think its the peoples militia here IIRC,) and the Old reliable bonuses, Ethiopia can push this division not just to 6.9 infantry speed (Faster than horses,) but also give it +10% movement on all terrain from their public transit path. We aren't just creating an infantry division that is faster than horses. The extra 0.3 speed is from an equipment bonus, as making your infantry weapons with your support equipment manufacturer can provide a speed bonus while making the guns far cheaper. We are pushing the lower speed limits for mechanized 1, due to the absurd terrain modifiers we are simply too fast 4 u. Seriously, you can overrun enemy infantry, with infantry here. ________________ Of course, manufacturing helicopters is absurd from this start, but one must imagine the horses surprise when we outrun them. (That, and if I was willing to drop the gimmick support artillery for engineers, we would be faster on most terrain.)

Super Breakthrough Rocket Artillery

So. MRA has 20 breakthrough + the 5 it gets from trucks post summer beta. For reference. Flying battery gives artillery +10% breakthrough in the summer beta, rapid emplacements is another 10% breakthrough.... 30 breakthrough.... Ok but... Recon rangers can actually push this further with another 15%, nice. So yeah, you can get nearly 100 breakthrough and 28 org off of 3 MRA post summer beta, in addition to the other benefits of MRA, like a lot of things exploding very fast. You can combine this with the crazy initiative you get from the flying batteries 3 bonus to make your cheap breakthrough artillery act like focus firing discount tanks, but with the vibe of AOE2 crossbows. Especially once you unlock the late game upgrade to Towed Rocket artillery 2 instead of Motorized rocket artillery, since then you can use a strong artillery designer instead of a motorized equipment designer for another 15% breakthrough. (Never take a MRA specific bonus on your motorized designer, TRA is just better later on.) Lastly, if you master armor with mobile warfare, you get one last 15% breakthrough. _______ The only flaw being, with this very high base org and low HP/Combat width, your casualties will be artificially inflated by bringing this unit. Well. That and it taking as much supply as a full unit of paratroops. Thankfully motorized infantry having hardness and 27.5 HP actually offsets this weakness post beta, motorized infantry are a great option for an artillery heavy div.

Mid-Game Breakthrough

A fairly mid-game build. Light tank breakthrough division with motorized to keep org, and motorized pulled artillery for soft attack (can replace it with support art, but with less soft attack). I'm a little iffy on support companies, I know armored engineer companies give good buffs to tanks and honestly it looks like it works really well in mountains, but it's probably super expensive. Either way, I'd definitely see what you lot do. I don't have much of the DLC, so I can't make tanks or planes, and I don't have access to flame tanks either. So keep that in mind.

Ethiopian Socialist Road Runners

Between old faithful, Ethiopian balance of power, and Mass transit, you can actually get infantry to the 6.4 speed of cavalry. Cavalry has +20% breakthrough now too.... (Might be worth it still to go pure infantry due to +~40% infantry attack from spirits and balance of power.) Then we take mobile warfare, a speed army spirit, a good recon setup, and special forces to make a division specialized in overrunning enemies in rough terrain. As such, you can actually get special forces running with horses, utilizing the high org of horses, and the breakthrough bonus present in the summer beta, to pad out your special forces and get them to work with high front coverage (Yes this is insane...) Ethiopia also gets 40% more equipment capture ratio, and 3 generals with scavenger. So you can do some genuinely insane builds with your army in general having 40% across the board capture ratio without being bound by a capture ratio focus. (Your militia and irregulars are capped, so peoples army flat out isn't worth it.) _______ Refuge for the Spanish anarchists also gives you a great shot at getting crazy manpower growth, unlimited men. You don't need ideological loyalty, you can use subsidized contracts for dirt cheap armored cars. _______ Overtime, I'd motorize/mechanize the horses here, as the better stats and hardness will benefit you a lot, and well, the +~40% attack on infantry you get. Its a shame that the public transit path doesn't give you many claims to conquer Africa.... Just puppets.

Abelha Melífera

A last ship of my brazil spam taskforce setup. We obviously need a stupidly fast, nearly invisible destroyer to top the fleet off and make it invincible to getting screen wiped. Because of the soviet raiding shipbuilder, we actually get this immense discount on these.

The LumberJacks

This here is the M16 MGMC, it cuts wood. And meat. Please USA we need your trucks and AA guns surrender your trucks and AA guns we can't sustain this huge cost without your stolen trucks and AA guns. We will strip your entire country for parts just to keep this high going. We need your M16's we need your M16's we need your M16's oh help we can't make enough flugerabwherkannone we need your m16's...... (This is insanity, but at least the equipment capture ratio is really close to 50% in this one. You didn't blink when you saw this. No this will not save you from the allied bombing campaign.)z The 22-15 width version would be better here to better utilize our strosstrupes.

Light Phalanx

Come on Von Mackensen, we need you to use your newfound French tactics to push back the Russians besieging us in the east! The German empire depends on you! _____________________________________________ In the summer beta, this has significantly more HP funny enough, like, 20ish or more. It also is speed 8 making this a funny, trolly, happy division. We use anti-tank frontline to give the cavalry decent entrenchment so we get this mildly hardened division with oddly limited pain when we look at the all around stats. LIMITED PAIN. You will suffer trying to equip this obviously. The real goal here was to meme about history. I called it a "Light phalanx" as I have a more insane version in my back-pocket for a WWII version for if we brought this back. _______________ Oddly, due to the + 5 hp on cav, you could probably make this better condensing the artillery into fewer regiments and adding more cav (and maybe +1 armored car.)
