Help, noob. Battles

I dont understand the battles. Even the help button didnt make sense as it says if tank attacks infantry it does 6 but tanks attack is 8.

Please explain in laymans (simply) how it works.

Does it make a diff If I engage or not as sometimes seems random who attacks who.

I want to know so I can look at unit lists and see what beats what etc.

ty in advance

If a tank has a max. attack of 8. That means during a battle it will roll between 1-8 damage. same thing with defense. an infantry of 6 defense will roll between 1-6. Also, a unit's attack affects to defenders units' HP not defense. And the defender's units' defense will affect the attackers units's HP.

HP is also a factor though i dont know the exact statistics but HP make your units a lil bit faster

HP makes units stronger. not faster. In Iron fist the units are harder to kill.

HP = hit points. In most strategies most units have the HP of 7. It means that if your opponent's attack roll is 7, one of your units dies.

yeah i ment stronger idk why i put faster

Yes it is based upon luck a little bit. I was in a game with Vagineer (I think) and I sent one transport vs Vag' two transports. He was also using IF and somehow... my transport won. I do believe that was the luckiest battle in Afterwind existence.
