Lightbulb Re: Infantry - What Do You pick?

Good day all.

When playing the AI as the Germans, usually SS Troops and I like Motorcycle Troops as well usually as my vanguard. Weapons wise, especially early in the war, I'm more concerned they have good LMG's and MMG's in the Kompanie mix. I try to leave to Anti-tank work to the Panzers. As well in the early stages a good stock of grenades still makes infantry assaults against some armour likely to have a good result, if put in or found in that situation.

PBEM causes me to look more carefully at the infantry I choose. The differences in national troops alone, makes this paramount.
In common is LMG and MMG factor, and striving to make the force real enough that such a force could have fought or would have been desirable!! Timeframe is a big factor here as well as early war troops in some countries were not as good as they look formed up on the parade square before a battle!!!
