Odd attack values

[FroBodine]

I was playing a 4 player Battle Island map, and purchasing my troops. I don't know if that matters, but I never noticed in in the tutorial campaign missions.

I noticed some units I clicked on in the Force list, or on the map, they had two values, separted by a dash, in land mechanized and foot attacks, e.g. 5 - 8 or 8 - 11

I never noticed this before. Also, some units only showed one value there, but when I clicked on the unit again two values displayed as above.

Is this a bug? I was purchasing and deploying Japanese units.

These two values are used in combination with the terrain cover value:

Each terrain type has a "cover" percentage (0 - 100). For example open terrain has 0% cover, villages 50% cover and cities 100% cover. Many units have 2 values for their ground based attack stats. For example when a tank with [6 - 2] anti-infantry attack engages an enemy infantry unit on open terrain, the combat calculation uses 6 (0% cover), if it attacks in a city it uses 2 (100%) and if the terrain is a village is uses 4 (50%, in the middle of the two values).

If you select a unit in the field it will display only a single value, namely the value that unit has on its current terrain type.

Thank you very much for the explanation. Is this in the manual? I looked but could not find any reference to the two values.
