The 64-page game manual has been scanned in its entirety and is available for your viewing pleasure.  Yes, the entire manual is in Japanese (except for a handful of English words scattered about)--but that doesn't mean that useful information can't be gleaned from the kana / kanji-laden pages.  The most accessible information is found in the section entitled "Unit Data"--a cryptic way of saying "Weapon Guide"--in which you will find a complete list of all the units featured in Earth Light  (and their weapon specifications).  Enjoy!
