Fun fact about militia. Their level 6, which is not even elite yet has 4 attack versus infantry and 6 defense. With their hill/forrest buff they get 7 on the attack and 10.5 on the defense versing infantry.
Militia in a forrest is stronger on the defense against infantry than commandos are on the offense against infantry. Yes they have less HP, but surely, they are not useless. Thei boosted attack on the offence in forrests is higher than that of regular infantry. Almost as high as mecha infantry at 7 on the offense. Their max SBDE total of 11 combined with their boosted attack in forests gives them a huge unexpected punch. During an unexpected attack in forrests they can do a LOT of damage. Especially to those that consider them useless.
You would not be the first one I plow my starting unit militia into to great effect
