 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). The bonus for the die code Strength of a unit comes primarily from two concepts: **Stacking** and **Arming**.

-There are two condition ratings for each of your units tracked while you battle: **Damage** and **Trouble**. Damage is injury to member of the units, eventually leading to its demise. Trouble is turmoil and confusion, and eventually breaks the unit making it unable to act until you rally it and regain control. Both of these are rated as a die code without any bonuses. A unit at any time may have 1d6 Damage and 1d8 Trouble. When a unit takes more Damage or Trouble, you have to combine the dice, as you can only keep one. The logic is simple: New damage/trouble die is higher? Keep that. Otherwise increase the current one a die 'size'. The latter part means you move up to the next larger die.+There are two condition ratings for each of your units tracked while you battle: **Damage** and **Trouble**. We call these Status dice (there are other Status dice from special rules too for some units). Damage is injury to member of the units, eventually leading to its demise.

 +Timing is a very important aspect of battle in Moria. Timing is handled by a counter we just call the Clock. Each full 'round' of the Clock is 9 Heartbeats. The Heartbeat is the smallest useful amount of time in the game, and is one heartbeat of the demon. Each Heartbeat allows it to regenerate some amount from injury,
