It would be helpful if the Combat Results section had more detail to
help players figure out "what next" with regards to troop state.

For example, a result of "break off" had me flipping thru the
sections to find out if that meant it was also Shaken, Uneasy,
Disordered, what kind of Rally it would need to make... and it is
somewhat of a Catch-22, because until you know the game, you don't
know how many "categories" of conditions exist, so even if you look
up the conditions you already understand, you don't know if you
missed anything.

Seems to me that a chart could be made cross referencing the many
categories of troop state. I know I did just that about 10 years ago
for TOG, but I can't find any of it. Probably on unreadable DOS
floppies anyway. Even a one-page cheat sheet with all the bullet
lists together would help, because you could "see" everything at once
and learn to scan all the possibilities, instead of having to flip to
different pages.

It would be helpful to add a bullet under Shields stating that troops
who shoot at chargers regain the use of their shields in the hand to
hand combat portion of the encounter.

Section 8.8 Shooting Combined with Movement doesn't explicitly say
that the support shooting is a distinct "sub phase." Also the term
"support shooting" ought to appear in the title of 8.8, or at least
be explained in a sentence. The term "support shooting" is used
elsewhere in the rules, but unless you already know it means Section
8.8 you can't find the rules relating to it easily.

I found a dog-eared copy of the 4 page cheat sheet I created for TOG.
If you want to give me your fax number, I'll send it to you. You'll
need good resolution, it was printed with a dot matrix printer.
Dated 3/88 !
