Divisions imho are not for the front lines but better as a reserve and garrison unit, or for very weak sectors. Corps are the main strength of the game. In my exp corps defeat divisions with no difficulty.
The answer came so early in the thread it is surprising the discussion has gone on so long. It all depends on how strongly you wish to hold an area, it has already been commented that there is no stacking in the game, so that if you can manage one division to hold a 30 mile wide hex, that's going to be weak against a strong attack, but it will slow the enemy down and you can build divisions fairly quickly. A corps sized unit is essentially several divisions stacked together and will be much stronger, but you may not have enough Corps units on hand and they take time to build. Corps units allow you to concentrate your strength, Division units allow you to spread out your strength. Great Game. [:)]
