After spending the last hour searching and reading, I'm extremely glad that I found this thread!

I have to agree with micpringle's conclusion here. "Tactical Advantage is given too much focus on the match screen" is absolutely correct.

If I could be so bold as to offer a suggestion: replace the numerical ratings with plusses and minuses to make it more clear that tactics are providing bonuses (and penalties) rather than... scores, I guess. It's confusing as it is, with the 1-5 ratings.
