LiquidSky -> RE: Ersatz Units: Questions + do you use them a lot? (4/10/2013 5:56:07 PM)

Most of the time I get one when I play the card. Occasionally I get two. I never get none.
Ersatz infantry use their own infantry type, of which there are no replacements. But if they take casualties, they can get regular infantry as replacements (you don't want that, so set them to 25%)
Their starting exp is very low...but they will slowly climb up.
I use my ersatz to replace the coastal battalions (which I disband). I put one in every port, and every big vp city. I used to use them to chase down partisans since they are cheap to rail, but have switched to using the STuG battalions instead.
I once used ersatz to invade the Caucaus, as they are really easy to supply by air...and you don't really care if they die.
In the beginning of the game, I will play the Ersatz card as much as possible. (OKH, 6th Armee, 2nd Armee). Then I will switch to Personnel. The personnel card only raises staff experience in an HQ, so I like to make sure my HQ's are full up on staff first, since replacements will only lower the exp.
