What is the difference between ABCDE ?

Do you enjoy a benefit from either, I haven't noticed either way in all my games so far. A slight increase in FirePower

The manual says "the quality of the unit acts as a further bonus" - IIRC from conversations here it's a small % difference between each grade - 1% or 2%?

Quality affects several areas.

1. Recovering readiness. Any time this is checked A class units will have a 70% to 90% chance of recovering a point whereas D class units will be in the 20% to 40% range. The actual number depends of course on nationality.

2. In battle, when a unit takes a hit, there is a chance it will lose readiness. Whether it does so or not depends on quality. A random number is rolled and a check is made against quality, if it fails, a readiness point is lost.

3. Also in battle, quality acts as a firepower modifier.

4. When being barraged by artillery, quality modifies the chance of being hit.

Overall, even when the same strength, high quality units will outlast low quality units and will be ready to go when low quality units are still needing time to rest and reinforce.

Also, in low-supply situations the advantages of high-quality troops should become evident.

Thanks Frank, yes this has become evident, I didn't tie it in initially with the Grade of troops but when my French were Grade C or less, things were REAL slow
