So I finally played some proper SASL games during the holidays (I've only dabbled before). I used SALSA II and noticed some inconsistencies in the otherwise perfect companion tool. I'm not sure if everyone is aware of these.
The Infantry/AFV Actions -buttons have a bug. The results are wrong by one "row". For example in a Hold attitude 2-4 should be move, 5-9 should be Fire, 10-11 should be Entrench. But the button gives 2-5 Moves, 6-10 Fires, and 11-12 Entrenches. Advance attitude is skewed in the same way.
I looked at the config.sco file. Lines 4 and 5 have this information and it looks correct so I suspect the bug is in the code side. But I did try a crude hack where I simply removed one Move command from each line and now SALSA gives me mostly correct results, except when rolling 1,1 in which case it's a non-event where it doesn't refresh the result window but simply shows what was there before. In this case the user has to be vigilant and re-check the actual DR result: If 1,1 then it's a Move and not what the result window claims it is.
If anyone want's to use this modified config.sco file, here it is

One other shortcoming I've noticed thus far is that when SALSA rolls up a leader (from Activation dr, {x3}) it doesn't take into an account the quality of the accompanying squads. {x3} table has cumulative drm's -1 if any MMC is elite and +1 if all MMC are Green/Conscripts. I have no fix for this.
