Going with the WW2 example I have 3 armies – US Airborne, Panzergrenadier, and Soviet. They are all designed to be slightly different
– US is about 2/3 Airborne with some GI in back up
– German is fully mobile “reaction” force
– soviet is full bore human wave
now in respect to the choice of army’s for me it was a case of the first 2 came in the starter set and were cheap to expand and the second was a bonus box set so again cheap to expand.
what I do see a bit of is people picking armies that are either cool or quirky. Cool can be a Tiger in the German force because they were in films or US Airborne for the same reason.
