Questions on creating new units

[Skanvak]

I am contemplating creating a WH40K scenario for ATGold but there are a few thing that I don't understand in the SFT statistics.

_ What is the "pow" "powDef"? My question is how does this translate in the combat model. what is the link with the %kill/%retreat? I am looking for a comprehensive answer.
_ What is a kill?
_ why is there different hit point for different SFT group and attack defence?
_ what size should be the graphics for SFT?

Other question :
_ what is the use of landscape group? it seems useless.

Skanvak, I haven't worked too much with the SFT stats, so I can't answer those questions.
Landscape groups are used in the editor to set which terrain types a location type can/can't be built on.

Thank you, at least this solve something. I hope someone will be able to answer on the SFT/combat model. This is important so someone should know.

Hi there Skanvak,

The AT wiki should help:

Yes, the wiki help.

If I understand correctly the hit chance is an opposed roll between the power of the attackers and the hit points of the defender, then and only then the kill/retreat/pin roll is made.

This is what I did. I was reformulating to check if I understand correctly.
