Very nice guide.

I would suggest replacing "Morale check is rolled once per turn and the only things that can change its results are the -1 modifiers from 40 and artillery."

with something along these lines:

"Units take morale tests each time they are shot at if the 5% shooting casualties this turn threshold has been reached. However they only roll once for all shooting morale in a turn, so after passing one shooting morale test in a turn, the only way they can fail another is if more negative modifiers have been added as a result of the later shooting. Thus the only things that can change its results are the -1 modifiers from 8% shooting casualties this turn, being shot at by artillery, having fallen below 75% original strength, or 50% original strength. Non-superior troops will in any case Autobreak when the latter threshold is reached."
