  • In general what is a good ratio then on first purchase?  4 infantry and 3 artillery?

    Depends on the context (what’s going on in the game, what your goals are).  Generally speaking, the economically optimal attack ratio is approximately 2:1 (inf/art).  But in practice, most players keep their inf/art stacks at a ratio b/w 3:1 to 5:1 because infantry are better for defense, and because you want to use infantry for trades, and also because tanks can be used to supplement attack punch which means you don’t need as many artillery.  In Revised, where tanks are only 5, some experts only purchase artillery when they are getting set to attack a capital, because they prefer the mobility and flexibility of tanks as their primary offensive asset.
