My question is as follows : what level are call of war units, and more generally the whole game itself based on? What does 1 infantry unit equal to?
Now of course, the manpower indicator would hint that 1 infantry is 1500 men, and mods have already said it is a regiment-sized game. But that doesn't really make sense : in a 100 player map, at day 40/50 if you played good, you can have 200-300 units. That means if all is infantry, you have 375,000 men... which won't be the case, so your total amount of men is sure to be much lower.
So while a continent-size empire at day 40 can muster a maximum of 400,000 men, the Red Army aligned 4,200,000 men in 1941, 6,000,000 men in 1943, and throughout the course of the war : 600 divisions. The Wehrmacht mustered 4-5 million men in 1940/1/2, up to 6.5 million men in 1943 at its peak, for a total of 13,000,000 men to ever serve in the wehrmacht.
So does an infantry unit equal 1500 men as shown in the game, which would mean the world is generally not very keen on recruiting soldiers, or is there something I'm missing?
