Just started reading the rules and to make things easier to learn I've made up some combat crib sheets in excel. I've done this for troop types for a 20mm plastic army list I'm painting and an example is below. Is this correct and have I missed anything obvious?

Cheers

I haven't checked your factors/POAs, but knowing the strengths and weaknesses of your troops is a key part of FOG and this will help you plan battlefield strategy...but you'll need to know the same things about your opponents, of course!
