 Why an army with a ballanced number of the 3 kind of units is better than an army with just soldiers?

Why do the armies move the same having only tanks?

How does it work?

Tanks always destroy soldiers? Soldiers always destroy artillery? Artillery always destroy tanks?

And tanks versus tanks?

 If an enemy has 422 soliders, and you have 450, you are most likely going to win if its JUST soliders. Like if its basically tanks vs. tanks, arty vs. arty you will win if it's even and your winning.

But if it's like 200 Soliders, 7 Tanks, and 4 Atry, then you would equip with 7 or more Atry to get the tanks out, and about 400 soliders to take the Arty out.

 I can't get no satisfaction!!!! :)
I still need some more explanations.

So you mean that a combat is just a round of combat? The system uses my best probabilities against the best probabilities of my enemy and the combat ends?

Tanks always destroy soldiers? Soldiers always destroy artillery? Artillery always destroy tanks? But for how much? For instances, I have 2 soldiers, the enemy has 10 art. I will always win? Or there is a bonus, but I can still fight?

 you wont win with 2 soldiers vs 10 arty. that is just too much of a offset. plus, 100 soldiers is the same as 1 tank and 1 arty.

Nope.

In midsized armies ( no more than 30 strength) off balanced armies tend to have the advantage. For what I make the most I often go with what is cheapest. If I have, say, -40% cost in soldiers, and only -20% in the other two, I will buy many more soldiers.

The key is to predict which type of army your opponent is going to have. For example, early in the game, they are probably going to get soldiers to capture regions, so if the prediction is right, you can get more tanks. The thing is, your opponent might anticipate that, and so might get artillery. Get the idea? That's why balanced armies, while not the strongest, are the safest route because they cannot be easily countered.
