Defense and HP

2 questions!

first: what is the difference between defense and HP, meaning an infantry for instance has 6 defense and 7 HP, if a tank attacks him with an attack of 8, it will be 8 vs 6 right? (excluding the crit chance), what is the significance of the 7 HP of the infantry!

Second: If I attack an infantry with a tank and kill him, will the tank has the same strength next turn? same 8 attack power? or is it here that the HP plays its role and the tank would have 6 less HP due to last turn's defense of the infantry?

where can I find all the details of these mechanics!

Battle mechanics
Unit's Attack and Defence represent the maximum amount of damage you deal to the opponent. Attack and defence are executed simultaneously, so you're guaranteed to deal some damage in a battle. Each unit has Hit points - so damage is applied directly to Hit points, and if the unit runs out of them, it gets destroyed. The remaining damage is then transferred to the next unit.

So, for example, 1 Tank attacks 1 Infantry and 1 Militia (all units have 7 HP each). Tank deals 6 damage (attacking), Infantry deals 4 damage (defending). Now Tank has 3 HP left and Infantry 1 HP. Tanks now deals 3 damage and Infantry also 5. Tank dies, Infantry dies, Militia takes 2 damage (carrying over from Infantry), but survives to fight another day. After the battle all HP is restored for surviving units.

If the last two units destroy each other simultaneously, the defending unit will survive.

I think that explains well. To find this and other FAQs about the game, go here:

I don't understand where the ''Tanks now deals 3 damage and Infantry also 5'' comes from? Can someone explain this to me?

If you've played RISK or other die rolling games, you'd understand. It's a random 'roll' with the damage being a number between 1 and the maximum for that unit.
