What is your favourite division template?
Mine's 3×4 infantry and another 4 motorised.
11 of those helped me conquer most of Italian Africa as south Africa and deep into the Soviet union.

7 Mountaineers, 2 artillery, then support artillery, anti-tank, recon and engineering. Occasionally I will add support rocket artillery as well.

My favorite is 5 Mechanized and 5 Modern Tanks, with Engineer, Recon, Field Hospital, Maintenance, and Signal Companies.

My most used is 7 Mountaineers and 2 Artillery, with Engineer, Recon, Field Hospital, Maintenance, and Signal Companies.

Mountainers are worse than standard infantry everywhere except mountains. They also cost a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ more.

There is zero reason to mix infantry with motorized infantry in a division.

The best templates are

Hard: 15 medium armor and five mech or moto for tanks

Soft: 7 inf + 2 artillery (14 inf 4 artillery or self propelled guns if you want to create a bigger version)

Mass assault mass Mobilization soft : all the infantry

If you want to create a motorized template use either all moto or 14 moto + 4 rocket artillery or light self propelled guns. You can also swap out some of the artillery for light tank destroyers in you want penetration.

The best support companies are signal, engineer, maintenance and military police.

* Signal massively increases reinforce probability and plan power gain. Plan power is the single largest source of combat power, so halving the time it takes you to get it is a big ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ deal.

* Engineers make it easier to deal with rough terrain.

* Maintenance increase the likelihood that you won't have all your ♥♥♥♥ break. If you watch the attrition rate you'll find that you take as much damage (if not more) in attrition as you do from combat.

* Military police have the exact same combat stats as an infantry battalion but don't cost any combat width. Stick them in your soft divisions for free combat power, defense, HP and org. NEVER EVER USE THEM FOR SUPPRESSION. They're trash at suppression. Why yes this is indeed stupid and counter intuitive.

Any other templates are strictly worse than these.
