The Mark of Chaos (and the changes in the unit's stat and skills) is
simply integrated in the unit stats, so you have unit's stats and
description as usual.

Great idea! mmm... the whole system can bog down when coming to
veeeeeery large battles (10000pts and such) or very small ones
(around 2000pts). Why not simply divide the number of Chaos cards the
