Is my memory correct that those squad-type devices with an anti-soft of less than 11 still have an AV albeit at a 1 for 10 ratio?
So 10 squads with an anti-soft of 9 give you an AV of 1.
I don't have the code in front of me, but I believe squads with an anti-soft<10 are not counted for offensive AV calculations. They are counted on defense. The actual anti-soft and anti-armor numbers are used in the shooting against one another phase and a higher value gives a device more of a chance to inflict damage. In the assault phase, AV is just calculated by adding up devices with an anti-soft>9. So if you have 50 squads with an a-s value of 10, that is an AV of 50. If you have 50 squads with an a-s value of 20, it's still an AV of 50.

Thanks Bill. No worries. Now that I am home and had a chance to check there is a reference on page 196 of the manual that defending "support type squads" are counted as having an AV of 1/10th for odds calculations. I'll just run some tests later to figure it out...
