ATTRIBUTES
Axis and Allies FAQ-Walkthrough by Deuce ex Defcon

These are displayed at the top of your unit or structure's status bar in the form of a small icon. They can be either good or bad, and they can be caused by several things (for example, being surrounded by terrain such as trees, having an upgrade purchased, or simple entrenchment earned over a period of time).
