        From the examples, it looks like you take the stats of
the unit you upgraded to. The above unit would have an assault
of 2 (1 doubled because of Hero).

        There's no such thing as 'AT firepower' - AT shots are
SHWs, and follow all the SHW rules. The 'firepower of 1' only
applies to firefights (and blast marker penalties, although that
isn't spelled out in the rules).

        More attacks? I assume you mean more blast markers? You
do (or can, at least) place more BMs if you're firing both normal
Fire Power and SHWs (such as AT) from the same detachment, but that's
the way it works.
