Thanks. Yes I tryed to enhance the readability of the stats (by using colors for
example); since I played some classical wargames before, I know how it can be

Yes I thought about it, but didn't provided it yet. I will try to find a way to
do it (don't know how to do a pdf though).

I will be pleased to have your comment (and pic! :-))) if you try it!
