How do we score this?
Each is below with its points before and after and its letter today. What changed is named, never quoted: the calculator reads the datasheets live from BSData.
Every unit gets one letter, S to D, ranking it within its army: the average of what the creators who know the game best gave it, or our own estimate, drawn dashed, where no creator rated it. Beside it, SWORD and SHIELD are our own dice math. It's one method, not the final word: if you know a unit plays better or worse than its letter, you may well be right, and we'd like to hear it.
