| In simplest terms, a unit is rated with a die code called **Strength**. This is the ability of the unit to attack or defend itself unless some other rule says otherwise. This strength die code is listed as two parts: a die to roll, and a bonus to add to that roll, like so: 1d8+2. When the unit makes a strength roll to attack or a strength roll to defend, you roll that die and add the amount listed. | In simplest terms, a unit is rated with a die code called **Strength**.

| + | The bonus for the die code Strength of a unit comes primarily from two concepts: **Stacking** and **Arming**. Stacking a unit means adding more fighters to it (when possible). You can have a Stacking bonus of +1 to +3 for a unit. Stacking both allows a unit to be stronger, and take more damage. Arming a unit means giving it more/better weapons and munitions, resources. You can arm a unit for +1 to +3. Arming both allows a unit to be stronger, and generate more damage. This means when a unit is given a strength code, its arm and stack bonuses are listed in parenthesis as well: 1d8+2 (+1/+1). | ||
