ASL/SK ATR/MG To Hit inconsistency?

[Hemaelstrom]

I am unable to reconcile an apparent small difference in the To Hit tables of ASL and SK. The former has a footnote indicated by a red spot which reads "ATR/MG counters use Black TH# unless captured", whereas SK has a footnote indicated by "@" that mandates the use of red TH# also in the case of "Inexperienced use". I cannot find any ASL rule that corresponds to this - is this a special SK-only rule that has a reason behind it? Or is there something in ASL that I have overlooked (again...)?
Thanks for any insights!

A21.13 talks about the penalties for non-qualified friendlies. Is that what you’re looking for?

A21.13 is about Non-Qualified Use (non crew using a crewed weapon or captured but qualified, doubled for non qualified captured use), not Inexperienced usage. Ditto C5.8, Case H.

I have spent an hour or so looking up the RB and the divider charts. I can't find any requirement to use Red TH when used by Inexperienced units as opposed to Non-Qualified and/or Captured use. So the ASL RB and ASLSK RB seem to be out of step in this regard.

Thanks Paul. It sounds like you and I had a similar time searching for this. It seems a rather specific inclusion to make in SK, so i wonder if there might be a reason for it.

I believe it is just a typo instead of an intentional difference. I pulled out some of my ASLSK charts and even in the same product SKEP1 they correctly say Captured/NonQualified in one box and Captured/Inexperienced in the other.

At one point the RED TO HIT NUMBERS box also used to say Inexperienced use.

I have passed this finding on to Chas and Perry for consideration in the upcoming SK PTO module rulebook.

...whereas SK has a footnote indicated by "@" that mandates the use of red TH# also in the case of "Inexperienced use"...

I believe this is an error on several of the SK Charts. The current proofing file for ASLSK#4 does not have this error.

Case closed. Thanks to all for putting my mind at ease. The proofing of the next SK installment is obviously in very good hands!
