For ostheer ostruppen grenadiers and the jaeger command squad have snares, all the rest dont.
I'm just not seeing how axis infantry have "all the snares" or "all have snares" whichever you meant neither are true.

Seriously, almost every Axis infantry unit gets snares galore. Only Riflemen or Cav Rifles get snares with USF. Dumb that they increased the repair cost of the UC so Axis wouldn't cry. Letting them waste munitions on fausting UCs was a sound tactic.
Snares galore? Here is a break-down of what units can actually snare you.
Axis:
Volks-Gren, Pfus (Before AT upgrade), Falls - OKW
Grens - Ost
Allies:
Cons, Penals, AT Partisans - USSR
Rifleman, Cav Rifles - US
Royal Engineers, Tank Hunter IS - UK
Notice how the snares are usually on line infantry? I even highlighted the non-doctrinal stuff for you.

Hmm...when i count right...axis has less snares than allies overall.
Allies having more factions will lead to that, yes.
Glad you can come to an accurate conclusion about the obvious.

- Soviets get con AT 'nade.
- Soviet gets AT Satchel.
- Soviet gets M3 Scout Car w Penal inside.
- Brits get engineer AT 'nade.
- Brits get Universal Carrier w Infantry Section within.
- Brits get (Hammer) Gammon bomb.
- USA gets Vet 1 rifleman AT 'nade
- USA gets Mechanized Jeep w Cavalry Riflemen inside.
Axis don't get light carrier vehicle quite as early.
If Allies get their snares early and free, axis get early armored units.
Beware what you ask for

You should also count TWP and Puma aimed shot of you are counting anything that can slow/snare.

This isn't a meaningful metric. You don't get one of each squad every game.
Every faction has snares on their mainline infantry or their engineers: they can all have a good supply of snare-equipped infantry if they want it.
It doesn't matter if Faction X has a bazillion doctrinal elite infantry squads with snares. They're only relevant if you pick their commander, and they're only going to make up a small part of your army.

Ah my apologies. Someone did say AEC and I think I auto filled it into yours.
