Thanks for the mod. Never played ASL but prefer your graphics. What the various numbers etc designate? Thanks.
Here's the description from the ASLSK Tutorial PDF.
A German 1st Line rifle squad has the following values printed on the front of the counter: 4-6-7. These are, from left to right, Firepower (FP), Range, and Morale Level. A squad typically represents ten soldiers, although this will vary somewhat depending upon nationality and date.
A squad’s FP is primarily based upon its weaponry. In the case of the German 1st Line squad, this would be a light machine gun with a two-man crew, six riflemen with bolt-action rifles, and a sergeant and a corporal who could be armed with either rifles or submachine guns.
To better understand FP, compare a German Elite rifle squad: 4-6-8, to a German Conscript rifle squad: 4-3-6. The elite squad is a highly trained, highly motivated unit, while the conscript squad is either a poorly trained unit, or a unit that has suffered casualties to its key personnel. But both squads have the same exact FP... because they have the same equipment.
A squad’s range, however, is based on both equipment and training. A German 1st Line squad has the same range as a German Elite squad, 6 hexes, so both squads are capable of effective fire at long range. But the German Conscript squad only has a range of 3 hexes; it has the same basic weapons as the other two squads, but it does not have the coordination (again due to lack of training or casualties to key personnel) to fire effectively at the same range as the better squads.
