Heres the big brain bender.
Does technology have the upper hand against numbers of a less advanced force?

Example. WWIII, Russia had a vast amount of relatively simple tanks, compared to the US, which had technologically advanced tanks, well researched, but fewer in number.

Now, this is a TOTAL LAND WAR that I'm looking at. Assume all countries have supplies reaching the rear lines. Supply lines can be intercepted en route to the front.

Lets not make a huge scenario about this.

Discuss your side.

fewer numbers of technology advanced units?
or masses of technologically simple units?
