I can think of three ways. The first one, I don't think you mean but I will mention it anyway. If you want to permanently weaken a unit in whatever scenario it appears, then I believe you could change the Strength value in units.csv. For example, if the default value in the file is 100 Strength and the default value in the game is 10 Strength, then it would stand to reason that you would change these values to 60 for the units to appear in the game as Strength 6:

But you are probably talking about scenario design in which you want certain units to be Strength 6 for a particular scenario only. There are two ways I would do this. If placing a unit on the map for Scenario Start, I would change this value to 6:

If spawning a unit later in the scenario using a Trigger, I would set this value to 6:

A sudden thought, however: If it's an AI unit, does the game look to repair/reinforce it back to 10? That, I don't know.

Germany at War is a good PzC type game with some interesting twists.
I even created a scenario for it a long time ago

In a battalion sized scenario I use 5-strength for company-sized units. Then it is up to the player (or AI) to repair to higher strength.
Lower-strength/experience units are also useful for garrisons.

Changing the strength in units.csv has no effect.

yes. I checked it ...maybe. create a custom unit for example of ifnantry with lower Attack and defense? maybe is this a way? and change the name for the REGIMENT. Also change the icon of the ifnasntry (only two men on schema)

This is the proper way to answer a question that way someone like myself a caveman can understand Thanks
