Is there something like a PoA calculator where we can input the characteristics of the fighting troops and get the net PoA?

Not that I am aware of.

The quick reference sheet details all the POAs for FoG, there aren't that many.

They can seem like a lot the first couple times out, but after a half-dozen or so games I hardly need to reference them at all, excepting for some more unsual encounters (often involving elephants or recently chariots).

By the time you could enter all the variables into a calculator, you could have looked it up in the book several times over

Ethan's memory is certainly better than mine. I find every time I think I've got the POA's and Cohesion Test modifiers down pat and stop looking at the play sheet, I forget one or two items.

What I have done to speed up play is to replicate the complete play sheets in a data base file on my computer. Whenever I play, I strip out all the items that do not apply to the two armies involved and print much reduced play sheets for that particular game. Having a smaller list of items to look through not only speeds up play but reduces the chance of missing a pertinent item in the clutter.

Possibly down to how often you play - I hardly seem to use the QRS these days let along the rule book.
