Japanese Inf squads and the meaning of the "*"

[Afrika Korps]

What does the * mean in Japanese Inf Sqd A* -- I realize the squad is bigger, but is that all? The Japanese Inf Sqd A has 15 men, the Japanese Inf Sqd A* has 20. A lot of units on the purchase screen have the * next to them. Just trying to learn the finer points of the purchase screen. [8D]

I was thinking that the "asterisk" formations are those that have an inherent recon ability, but I'm not certain.

[Major Destruction]

It is only to let a player know that one formation has a different build than another formation with the same name.


I think you will find that the Rifle Company* has more firepower than the Rifle Company
A Rifle company+ is more likely to have additional units such as AT rifle platoon or Light Mortar platoon.
A Rifle Company- is more likely to not have units in the platoons that you would find in the Rifle Company

Ah, thanks!
