That means we can still have a ruleset with the old system. That is ok.
But I really hope that the interface will not get more difficult, when using
the old system.

Well, I certainly will give it a try. But in the old system, I can quite
sufficiently estimate the result of a battle. In the new system, I won't, even
if - what I think is really necessary - the veteran status of enemy units is
displayed.

BTW: the AI is cheating in this respect, too, right? It sees the veteran
level of my units.

Addendum:

We need documention in the help system for it, probably with respect to the
ruleset dependent veteran levels.
