In this context, does Defense help only the army whose territory is being invaded (the defender), and Attack help only the invading army (the attacker).

Or are they tactical values, that help both the defending and invading army in the thrust and barry of battle itself?

Status: offline 		The defense bonus applies to all counter-salvos (cf. FOF Manual page 69) regardless of whether those come from the attacker or defender nation; they are tactical values.

Status: offline 		quick question.  By giving a unit two brigade attributes that are the same, eg 2 engineers, do they both help or does it just count as one?

Status: offline 		most stack, which I believe all of the ones you have control on, do stack

(two pack wagons give you more supply, but also slow you down more)

remember, you can buy double Arty or Cav attachment and that will change the unit to that type of unit (but will take a MAJOR hit to Qu levels)

most of the skills that you can be trained in, will also be stackable, but some of them do not (double fast, will make you move better, double diggers will let you dig in better)

Status: offline 		Just remember that doing this does give the unit a major "quality" hit. In my PBEM game, I created one out of a unit with a quality of around 3.2 or so, and its quality dropped to about 1.6 (going from memory). But the corps it was in fought several battles, and now its quality is around 3.5 (or higher?) thanks to that experience.
