Panzer Marshal Game Manual v1.0 - "Random Abilities" #295

Have been playing all three titles of Panzer Marshall on android and pc for over 2 years. Have played through all of the campaigns many times and thought I had developed a deep understanding of game play and mechanics. Recently I downloaded the game manual and gave it a close study. The section on "Random Abilities" was a big surprise as over the course of many game plays, I have never obtained leader with one of the "random abilities." listed in the manual. Are these listed in advance of future update? Or perhaps are more like a very rare or legendary ability? Are these abilities not coded in every campaign or can they occur only in certain scenarios or by can only be awarded to certain axis or allied armies? As I mentioned earlier, I have played through many times and never had a unit awared a "random abilities." Please check into this as these leader abilities would greatly enhance game gameplay. Much appreciated.

I played this game a bit, and the random leader abilities are kind of tucked into a corner. You likely have experienced them with units that are unnaturally capable. By pressing the unit search button you should be able to pull up unit stats. If you get a random ability, a Unit will have a silhouette of an officer as a button in this unit stat area. Clicking on that will pull up what random abilities you have. I find them quite important in deciding which units to upgrade, as certain traits can make units able to go berserk.
