- Abilities:
- All units are lucky and may do extra damage.
- There is a small chance, about 15% of doing +1 HP damage above the
rounded up value of the percent attack.
- This chance gets reduced greatly when the target has 2 or more stars of
terrain defense.

unit attacks a strong unit. Say, an infantry attacking a Md Tank and
will be less likely to do +1 HP damage in these cases.

- CO Power: Lucky Star
- All units get even luckier.
- Units have about a 15% chance of doing +5 HP damage and about a 15%
chance of doing between the default and the +5 HP damage. Thus, only
about a 70% chance of doing "normal" damage.
- These odds reduce as her attacking units are at lower HP.
- Weak units have mucm more noticeable chances of getting lucky on strong
units. Infantry can hurt Anti-Air and Md Tanks or heavier if lucky.
- SCO Power: Lady Luck
- All units have about a 70% chance of doing +3 to +10 HP damage, evenly
distributed in that range.
- All units have about a 15% chance of doing +1 to +2 HP and 15% chance

#10) Things In Progress
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOTS! I will be updating this frequently.
Things I Need
- Specific numbers on assorted CO Powers.
- Detailed info on how Tag Breaks work. To my knowledge it is as simple as
using an SCO Power, tagging, all units get to go again and then the other
CO can go. Is that right?
- Little translationg things. Just do a search for the ^ character to find
out where my gaps are.
- Specific numbers on how the CO Gauge fills now.
- Anything that says luck, I need to know more pretty much.
I figure I should add the damage units do to the Pipeseam to the damage table.
Gotta have ASCII art...
