Army lists and limits

[GoodOldRebel]

Just a question about the limits on the troop types in the list. The Soviets seem to be limited to 9 rifle armed infantry units/bases plus the same number of SMG armed infantry. However the Eastern Front German list seem to imply 60+ infantry bases! Am I reading these wrong. I would think that the Soviets should have a lot more infantry, even if I am wrong about the German numbers. looking forward to me first games. Have Eastern Front armies, but starting to build Western Desert forces.

Hi - the limits are given per 1000 pts. 

But I have to say for most of the lists, I'm not sure why a limit on the number of infantry is needed.
