Er... Isn't "s" for "sentry" (meaning "don't blink that unit at me every goddamn
turn"). Units are (now) repaired simply by doing nothing, that is waiting. You
can also fortify it or press "space" every turn until you want to do something
else with it.

Well, he can learn using a rifle, as settlers learn to use their new tools.
But battle experience is something really different, and includes knowledge
of not only using the tool but also avoiding the enemy using it on you. And
then, it differes for various weapons... We could put different exp loss for
different upgrades. For instance, phalanx->musketeers would loose a lot, 
musketeers->riflemen
not so much, and then riflemen to partisans or alpine troops would loose less
than phalanx->musket but more than musket->rifle etc.
