First-combat class roll"There Stands Jackson Like A..." (class-shift combat resolution)
A unit's actual class for the game is rolled on percentile dice the first time it fights.
How it works
Each base class has a percentile table (1-5, 6-20, 21-50, 51-80, 81-95, 96-100) giving the class it will actually fight at, plus a ceiling; e.g. Crack Line rolling 86 becomes Grenadier. The roll is unmodified so leaders cannot be stacked on it, keeping both players unsure of mid-grade units.
Why not wait to determine the exact level of a unit until its first combat?
