Yes, missing from manual indeed, fixed for 1.01 Manual.

Here's an interim look at the various abbreviations, it is still missing a few though.

That's very usefull indeed! Thank you! "SN" for "Low Stone Wall" really got me confused.

I also noticed that the terrain designations do not match between the hex info (onmap) and the movement cost info (in the unit viewer).
e.g. "flooded paddy" versus "wet paddy", etc.

I also wonder about the effects of improved positions, trenches and bunkers. Are units in bunkers considered to be hard targets?

Concerning inaccuracies in the manual, it also seems as if recon reveal costs 38 APs, not 35 as the manual would suggest?

Please point them out, I wrote it over a few weeks in August. There may have been some changes in the post 6 months for numbers and names.

If you see them, I can correct them for 1.01 UPDATE

OH!! The recon is an AAI setting, so will vary by nation. Some it costs less, some it costs more, but 35 is an average.
