TripleA/Units and their Special Abilities Overview

Basic Units

The unit stats and special abilities here are Revised and later from a well known period game. Consult the game notes for the map you are playing (Help -> Game Notes...) for specifics. The 'Attacks at' and 'Defends at' combat values determine the chance the unit will score a hit in a round of combat. For each unit in combat, a six-sided die is rolled. If the result is less than or equal to the combat value, then it is a hit. Otherwise it is a miss. For example, when defending, infantry defends at 2. A roll of 1 or 2 would be a hit and a roll of 3-6 would be a miss.

Infantry	1	2	1
Artillery	2	2	1	When attacking with an infantry unit, that infantry unit will hit on 1 or 2 instead of just 1.

Fighter	3	4	4	Can land on Aircraft Carriers.
Bomber	4	1	6	Can also strategically bomb industrial complexes.
Submarine	2	2	2	Shoots before other units in combat. Casualties caused by Submarines do not get to return fire. Can submerge at any time (including before a battle begins). Can move past hostile ships but does not block hostile ships.
Transport	0	0	2	Can carry any one land unit, plus one infantry. See Revised Edition cargo rules. Does not fire in combat, and chosen as a casualty only if there are no other eligible units.

Cruiser	3	3	2	Can conduct shore bombardment in amphibious invasions.
Aircraft Carrier	1	2	2	Can carry two Fighters.
