This is a very important issue as it was far far too easy for the player to hoard up on experienced units as he didn't have to protect or combine the experienced units (and thus create that nice elite core or an army), instead masses of highly experienced units could be pumped out quite fast.

I always thought that the unit cards kept the chevrons but that INDIVIDUAL units were the ones that each had their own experience values - retraining added green troops but you couldn't see them.
