US Bar Gunner, add 1 BAR to every 3 or 4 squads.

German Panzerfausts available Oct 43, add 1 Pf to every 3 or 4 squads, more in 1945.

ATMMs may be added if included in the orignal OBs or SSRs

ASL AP Mines should be x 1/4 to arrive at ATS amount.

ASL victory points totals are roughly 55-65% of ATS victory point totals.

Leaders

an ASL leader with a –1 or less modifier = ATS 117

an ASL leader with a -2 or greater modifier = ATS 118

Exchange all emplacements, non MGs weapons, tanks, artillery, charges, etc. + anything else straight across between ASL and ATS.

European scenarios, crops hexes are considered open ground in scenarios dated from October to May inclusive or as per SSR. Harvested Crop rules apply during April and May.

From November to March inclusive Orchards not in season and are obscuring only, they do not create blind hexes.

For Squads and MGs…the goal is to keep the number of squads the same as the original scenario and use MGs to balance the GF ratio. This will keep the size of the forces roughly the same as the original as well as any squad related VCs or SSRs.

ASL GF total - for each side

1. total the GF and number of squads at each morale level

2. total the GF and number of each type of MGs, (GF x ROF x # of each type of MG)

3. total the Squad GF and the MG GF, this is total GF for each force.

4. determine the % of the small force divided by the large force. ie less than 100%

ATS GF totals

For the large force

5. replace the ASL squads with an equal number of the correct morale level ATS squads

6. total the GF for all squads

7. replace the ASL MGs with the correct number and type of ATS MG

8. total the GF for all MGs

9. total the Squad GF and the MG GF, this is the new total GF for the large force.

For the smaller force

10. multiply the total GF for the larger force from step 9 by the force % from step 4

11. the total from step 10 is the new target total for the smaller force

12. replace the ASL squads with an equal number of the correct morale level ATS squads

13. total the GF for all squads

14. replace the ASL MGs with the correct number and type of ATS MG

15. total the GF for all MGs

16. total the Squad GF and the MG GF, this is your beginning total GF for the smaller force

17. if the total from step 10 is within 5 GF of step 16 you are finished converting Squads and MGs

18. if the total is more than 5 GF difference then add or subtract a number of MGs based on total GF (GF x ROF x # of each type of MG)

to adjust the GF of the smaller force to the total in step 11. Generally try and keep at least one type of each MG present in the mix.

Try and keep the MG strengths the same ratio between at start groups and any reinforcement groups. This gives you a max force to start from for the larger force and adjust the smaller force underneath that. A leader can be added to adjust as well, estimate 10-15 GF for a 117 etc…
