Analyzing the Advanced Squad Leader IFT is complicated by the fact that two dice are used to determine results. The table below converts the IFT into percentages to simplify detailed analysis.
       The table below is not modified for either terrain or movement penalties/bonuses. This then represents the changes of inflicting some kind of hurt on an enemy unit which is standing around doing nothing in the open.

Percentage to Hit Table

22.725.013.8                     
42.738.916.6                            
68.350.013.8

2016.680.62.7                                                 
2427.772.30.0                                                  
3041.658.40.0                                                  
3658.341.70.0                                                  
 Red   Percentage chance: Casulties (K/#, #KIA)
 Blue   Percentage chance: Morale Check (NMC, 1MC, etc.). This is the chance that a Morale Check will occur, not the chance that the Morale Check will fail as that depends on other circumstances.
 Green   Percentage chance: Pin Task Check (PTC). As above, this is the chance that a Pin Task Check will occur, not the chance of failure.
Individual blocks in bar chart represent approximately 2%.

Looking at the IFT in percentages points out an interesting (surprising?) anomaly: the chance of Pinning goes down as firepower is increased above four factors, and then disappears at 24 and up. This anomaly shows up even clearer in the ensuing pages.

x - x - 7 Applying the IFT to a squad with morale of 7.
F F N A M Applying the IFT to a squad with morale of 7 subject to FFNAM.
F F M O Applying the IFT to a squad with morale of 7 subject to both FFNAM and FFMO.
