He will have no clue at all how morale works, or fatigue.

I struggle to accept that anyone can have 'no idea' what att 12 and def 10 mean after looking at a handful of units.
Militia has 8 attack, a soldier has 10, an elite has 13. Durr, what could they possibly mean?
I agree they wouldn't know exactly how they worked, but it isn't like the manual is reliable in the cases where you need to know exactly how things work. It doesn't properly explain how prot works, for example. It incorrectly explains how various other things work. No point in me listing this stuff - there's a thread about it.
