*****Analysis*****
******************

=============================================================


Very simple to use guide for your use in planning tactics and strategy when not
playing the game. Requirements are self-explanable. Speed is the moving speed
of the unit. Attack is when the unit is slugging it out with enemies, defence
is the ability to take hits (and not lose as many men). Morale determines how
much punishment the unit can take before turning tail and running (and
affecting other low morale units to rout as well). Finally, Charge is measured
when you order your unit to attack another head-on. The damage is much more
devestating when you Charge your unit straight into an enemy, but after the
initial explosive charge, both units will then slug it out (depend on Attack
rating).
