Where can one find out how much damage each individual unit can sustain...also, is supression on a scale of 1:10 or 1:100?

Thanks

Infantry units lose a man for every caualty, suppression goes up to 99, 0 suppression means you get teh best hit chances, once you start getting shot at, you suffer about a 25-50 degradation based on experence - teh first few points of suppression do the most, once you get over 20-30 its more a matter of how far you head is between your knees...

Every time you "rally" suppression ios cut in half bt once you get shot at you are stuck at 1 minimum.

Every "*" when a vehicle is hit means a system or crewman is knocked out. Teh more stars the more suppression vehicles take.

When your suppression reaaches a certain fraction of your morale you become pinned (buttoned for vehicles), then retreated and finally routed, as you rally the suppression below teh threasholds, you get improvement in staus. IF you keep shooting at retreated or routed troops, occasionally they figure its better to go down fighting and spontaneously go to pinned and stop running away. Russians in delay or defend mission can "fanatically" go from routed or retreated back to good order again.

Thanks for the supresion definition. I guess I didnt phrase my other question as clearly. It was: how can I find out how much damage points a particular piece of equipment has.

OH - when you select a unit, right click or hit hte space bar and teh unit status screen will ocme up. It will give you a complete rundown on the units status

yeah, I can see the unit status, and the damage says "0" (at the beginning of the battle). My question is, how many points of damage can a unit sustain before being destroyed (ie, a T34 can sustain "xx" damage points before being destroyed)

Thanks for your time and patience!!!
