Hi everyone,
I'm slowly transitioning from ASLSK to ASL, and ran into something about Ordnance TH in ASLSK that I can't figure out where it is in ASL.
Basically, on the TH Charts that ASLSK provides (in #2 or #3), they list Infantry Target Type starting at range 1, then range 2, then range 3-6, 7-12, 13-18, 19-24, whereas ASL (C3 TO HIT TABLE) has Range 0-6, 7-12, 13-18, etc. From my calculations, I've managed to duplicate most of the tables from ASLSK using the rules in C3, but its range 1-2 that has me puzzled. In particular:
ASLSK#3 has the following for a German 75L ITT: at range 1, the TH# is 10 with a CH on a 5, at range 2, the TH# is 9 with a CH on a 4, and Ranges 3-6 the TH# is 8 with a CH of 3.
For Range 3-6, this is exactly what ASL would expect. The Base TH# for range 0-6 is listed as 8. The Modified TH# would also be 8. And the CH (from C 3.74) is 3, that is, "the Final TH DR is < half the modified TH#, or" etc. (ASLSK seems to ignore the stuff after "or..." which makes sense since it is more complicated.)
However, I can't figure out what's going on with ASLSK with Range 1 and 2. Sleuthing a bit, I figured out that the TH DRM for ASLSK does not include the -1 and -2 for 1-hex/2-hex i.e., case L, for ITT, so I'm guessing that the designers "built" that into the range 1 TH# of 10 and the range 2 TH# of 9, although in ASL this would not be in the MODIFIED TH# but rather just a modification to the DR. But as far as I can tell the effect is the same.
However (and here's my question if you've followed this far!) why is the CH for ASLSK at range 1 a 5 and for range 2 a 4? From what I can tell, in ASL the CH for range 1 should be a 3 and for range 2 a 3 (i.e., < half of the modified TH# of 8). Is this something the designers just added into ASLSK or am I missing a rule in ASL for calculating the CH on the ITT for ranges 1-2?
(Incidentally, ASLSK accidentally omitted range 0, but I'm told I can use the Range 1 numbers for Range 0.)
Thanks in advance for any answers you might have!
