Will that level of info be available, in-game, for every unit?

[bcgames]

The Nation, Quality, Echelon of Command, Attack, Defense, and Movement Factors (among other things) are what you will see for every ground unit in the game. The Attack, Defense, and Movement factors were derived from an enormous Excel workbook designed to poop-out those factors; that sausage-making capability is external to the game.
