Amphibious Algorithm[]
With the advent of massive mobilization and industrial warfare, soldiers took to digging trenches. Warfare devolved into a brutal slug-fest of artillery bombardments and costly frontal assualts. Although there would still be individual pitched battles in this kind of warfare it would begin to see front-wide deployment of troops at all times in contrast to the more concentrated deployments of the Field Army.

Troops[]
Troops are the number of soldiers you have in the army group fighting on any given front. Troops are measured to the nearest thousands and constitute the backbone of the combat phase. Troop score is calculated by taking your overall number of troops and dividing by 1,000.
Infantry Equipment[]
Equipment represents the combat effectiveness of the weapons employed by a standard infantry unit of company size in your fielded army. This usually takes the form of small arms, motorized, mechanized, and communications equipment. Equipment is a modifier score meaning that it has a base score of 1.00 to which the values are added.

Morale[]

Defensives[]
Defensives are pretty self-explanatory, they are physical barriers set up to protect troops from bombardment and fire. Defensives are the least complex section and have calculations built in. Entrenchments can be built by troops in place, while strategic lines require peacetime production and several years of work to build.
- Light Entrenchments: 1.50
