I hear a lot about using range/armour in a 2:1 ratio and sticking to one chassis, but what about effectively using damage upgrade? Your thoughts on what combinations work? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Can you be more specific on the ratios you would use with damage?

Feel free to experiment yourself and see what you like. In general I would say 1 full squad of damage for every 5-10 normal squads would be the most you should have, but its all up to you and what you like. For the best type of units no. it is as follows: Infantry/Fighters: 20 range and 10 armor OR 21 range and 09 armor. Vehicles/Cavalry/Frigates: 10 range and 5 armor. Tanks/Heavy Units/Mechs/Crusiers: range and 3 armor. For the damage you can build 1 conscussive, 1 plasma and 1 explosive squad on every 5 conscussive, plasma and explosive squad. That will leave you with 15 full balanced squads and 3 damage squads. But that stays optional since it will increase overhead and the further range units will be more expensive. Most players dont build damage units.

Depends on your play style honestly. Damage units promote a more reckless playstyle. its really not popular among the higher tier players due to its "all in" nature.

While ideally you win every battle perfectly using range, in some cases that's not an option. Either due a complete stalemate of skill and activity (never seen that), or because you need the element of surprise. If everyone expects you to do the best thing, it may not be the best thing.
Keeping your options open is always a good idea.
