M: is movment it determines how fast you can walk and run.
4 is human, 3 is dwarf, 5 is elf.
WS (weapon skill): Determines how likely you are to hit or be hit by someone.
How that math works out is simple, but easier to explain in a chart.
10 is for the greater daemons of the god of blood and violence. No mortal reaches it without magic.
BS (Balistic skill): How likely you are to hit someone with a ranged weapon. You take a d6 and roll, adding your BS to your dice and subtracting circumstantial penalties. The target is 7 (1 always fails and 6 always succeeds) Anything more then BS: 5 is a buffer against circumstances.
S (strength): Strength determines how much armor resists you and what you have to roll to wound after you hit the target.
S+1<T: 6+
S+1=T: 5+
S=T: 4+
S=T+1: 3+
S>T+1: 2+
(At strength 9 enemy armor is irrelevant)
4 is peak human. 9 is a T-Rex wielding a great sword.
W (wounds):

T (Toughness):
Toughness is how resistant you are to wounds. (see above)
4 is peak human.
I (initiative): Determines who attacks first in melee. Highest goes first.

~6 is peak human.
A (attacks): How often you attack the enemy a turn.
4 is peak human.
LD (Leadership): Is moraleish it is a bit more complicated.

This is superseded by a special rule, so we always pass.
Saves are after checking if you get wounded
You roll and if you surpass the number you don't get wounded. 1+ is the best, 6+ exists.
Parry is for having a shield.
Armor is the easiest to add, but is lost against strength.
Every point above three removes one point of armor. ( 1+ -> 2+ -> 3+ ...)
Ward is (usually) irremovable and refers to miscellaneous saves. Dodging, gods favor, demonic toughness...
4+ is high by for a ward save.
Regen is a ward save that is removed by flaming weapons.
edit: Combat goes roll to hit, roll to wound, then your choice of save. (Aranfan uses a modified system where all saves are used.)
