RULES
* The 6 hexagons around a unit is called it's Zone Of Control (ZOC).
Enemy units can only move 1 hex per turn inside the ZOC.
* Support Effect: Adjacent allied units contribute 50% of their attack power
to an attacking unit. Similarly, they contribute 50% of their defense power
to a defending unit.
* Surround Effect: If there is an allied unit in front of and behind a
defending enemy unit, their attack and defense will be halved.
* I learned from Ra226's nice Let's Play videos that you can bait the AI into
attack less critical units to protect more important units, for instance,
they might attack a Hawkeye anti-air tank if it's in front of other units,
even though the enemy has no air units left, making it unusable.
* Experience Matters: 7+ star units have double the Attack and Defense rating
of a rookie unit.
TIPS
* Bait: You can bait the enemy to attack non-essential units in order to protect essential units. In fact, the enemy might focus on the weakest unit, such as infantry.
* Terrain: Carefully place your units in terrain with high defense.
* Pick your spot: If it's beneficial, let the enemy come to you. You don't have to attack.
* Support and Surround: For the purpose of ZOC blocking, Support, and Surround, any friendly unit affects any enemy unit and vice versa, regardless of whether they can attack each other, and whether they are air and ground units, respectively. You can ZOC block a tank with a plane, Surround a plane with infantry, etc.
