In most Alt scenarios infantry have no hard attack range so it makes sense for you not to stack hard and soft targets together unless you need to assault with combined arms. You can basically park your armor next to infantry and blast away without receiving any return fire. Since the Alt scenarios also reduce most artillery hard attack values there isn't much you can do but take it if you have no tanks or AT around. It would be nice if infantry that had a hard attack value could give some sort of fire (maybe 1/2 or 1/4 of their value) at range to harass armor units that just roll up next to them and blast away. If TD defense is based on having accompanying infantry in some cases then at least they should be able to fire at them.
One thing that is related to all of this is something I have been meaning to look at: tank soft attack ratings. About a month ago, someone brought up an issue that made me think that tank soft attack ratings might be as much as 1.5x higher than what they should be. I caution that I still have to check the numbers, but if that is true then if would alleviate the situation (unless it is some of the most powerful assault guns of course). It would reinforce that idea that infantry must counter AT guns, because tank soft attack ratings would not be high enough in most cases, and it would encourage tanks to assault infantry to drive them off.
Anyway, I will investigate that when i get the chance. The numbers are more than likely correct as they are, but it wouldn't hurt to check.
