1. Does the term Auto hit mean the same as a critical hit, and am I right in assuming this happen 5% of the time.

2. Also, On the odd occasion I have noticed when I have read a detailed combat report, I cannot follow the defense value. Now I know there is a lot of contributing factor to these numbers, but I believe I understand them all, and they are all listed in the combat report. The one that I some times have problems with is that I can see a -1 evasion modifier, but for some reason the defense is modified by -3. So an additional -2 evasion modifier has been given with no explanation in the evasion section. The thing is, this "unknown" is always -2, and always with this explained -1, for the total of -3 as above. Any ideas anyone??

1) Yes, Auto-hit = Critical Hit. The end result is to add an amount equal to the target's EVxDur to the attack roll.

2) I dont really know what you are asking. If you can provide a screenshot, I might be able to figure it out for ya.

A -1 evasion for a unit with a durability of 3 will equal 3 points off of its defense value.

Infantry are 4 durability, so a -1 evasion for infantry will be 4 points off it defense value.

More clear?

I'd like to use this opportunity to point out that some of the roll explanations on the combat screen could need better explanations. I have a hard time to understand what was going on at times and where that +/- X comes from. Part of it is probably due to my lack of experience with AWD, but improved combat tool tips could help understand this great game faster and better.

Mr quiet is right. I was confusing evasion modifiers, with defesive modifiers. So, for my -1 evasion penalty, the defending unit must have had a durability of 3, hence my total -3 defense ajustment come from evasion X durability, -1 X 3 = -3 to defense.
