Quality v.s. Quantity

[Ratzki]

I think the HQ's bonuses can offset alot of the disadvantages of green infantry and fail the verteran squads as well. Advancing under fire with an HQ that has a good morale bonus seems to offset the difference between vets and green troops somewhat. The reverse is just as true. And following up the advance with a company HQ to rally the straglers enables you to keep the momentum going. I just fought a QB with these attributes - he had vet infantry and armor and my side was exclusively green. This was an attack for me as well, and I was able to advance quite well under heavy fire. My undoing was in my poor selection of armor in forgetting the few HE rounds of the M10s. I suffered a minor defeat, but it was the lack of HE punch that lost the game not the green troops.
I do agree that vet armor is the way to go for tank on tank, and I to often mix up my mortar teams with green and vet to provide either extra area fire/smoke ect. or pinpoint accuracy as the situation dictates.
