Can anyone tell me how the different leader combat ratings (Mech/Inf) are actually used. I mean when is the Inf value used as opposed to when is the Mech value is used.

I assume that if an attacking or defending force is entirely INF or Mech then the corresponding rating is used. But what rating is used when the there is a mix of each? And does Mot Inf count as Inf or Mech?

EG defender has 2 Tank Brigades plus a INF Div. What rating is used?

Attacker 1 INF and 1 Panzer Div. Again which rating?

Perhaps its on a unit by unit approach. I have no idea. The manual is vague on this.

I think it depends on the type of unit engaged in tactical combat, i.e. Mech checks for Motorized units, Inf checks for non-motorized. Though it could also go all down to the ground element level (rather than the on-map combat unit).

EDIT: A per-unit basis is my guess.

Mechanized is used for Armor, Mechanized and Motorized unit formation types, infantry rating for the rest of types.

Thanks Pavel. So it is on a per unit basis?

Yes.

I recall someone asking before if Cavalry used the Mech Rating, and the answer was in the affirmative. Not sure who gave that answer.

Helpless, can you confirm Cav is Infantry?

Yes. Cavalry is separate formation type and it is using infantry rating.

Well...darn it. Time to reshuffle some units and leaders...

Thanks, anyhow, for clarifying it.
