War on the S

Doesn’t the manual say what that means?

When i bought and tried to get into this game I couldn't find that info in the manual. Buried in the 'notes' document is this: 

Unit ratings are based on a fairly complex set of calculations utilizing actual weapons counts. The first calculation is for unit strength. One point is given for each Infantry Platoon and an equivalent amount of vehicles, or major weapons. The game ratings are based on the number of weapons of a given type multiplied by a weighting factor (different weightings are applied for each game factor (AF, DF, Arm, AT, and AA). The products for all weapon types, there are 182 of them, are then added together and then divided by the unit strength. This final number is then adjusted by a Quality factor (ranging from 1.0 for super elite troops to 0.4 for the REALLY bad) and this last part is the only place where external judgment comes into play.


Maybe that explains it to someone with a more flexible mind than mine....
