But we only have 93 defense, so only 93 attacks are defended while 136 remain undefended. Since there is no other target for the infantry to attack, both of them will attack the cavalry and will combine their attacks to a new total of 229. The infantry divisions in this case having more than 16 breakthrough on either of them, is more or less wasted because they don't actually get to use more than 16 of it, because the enemy only has 16 attacks.Īnd we can see that each of the infantry divisions 127 or 102 attacks are higher than the cavalries defense of 93.

The cavalry on the other side is just a shield with no arrow, it is using its defense stat.Īssuming all of these divisions are 100% soft, (or 0% hard), we can see that the poor cavalry divisions with its 16 soft attack, is far less than the 100+ breakthrough of either of the attacking enemy infantry, all of its attacks are going to have minimizing hit rate of 10% per attack.

That arrow means you are using the 'breakthrough' stat as your defensive stat. You can see with the German units that are attacking, the last number is a shield with an arrow/triangle pointing towards the enemy. The last number is going to be the relevant defensive stat.

The first and second numbers on the list are the soft and hard attack the division has. You can see that towards the 'center' of the battle screen, each divisions has 3 numbers. We can see there are 2 infantry divisions on the left side, and 1 cavalry division on the right side.
