I'm having difficulty locating a key for the units details in AC. Specifically, does anyone now what the various brackets, asterisks andother notations are, which appear below a unit?
Tanks!

I know some of them
Attack-defense-movement
+ after defense = ECM, good against mobile units
t after defense = trance, good against psi
<> around defense = AAA, good against Air units
~ after attack = amphibious attack capability
x after attack = nerve gas (i think)
*2 after movement = better reactor/more HP
() around attack = artillery
that's all I know.

Heya Schoop!
Thanks for the info. It's pretty much along thelines of what I expected, but I haven't had the game long enough to a)figure it out myself; b)figure out where in the manual it tells you these things.
Cheers!
