AT rifles? If so, why don't they have a separate company per regiment/brigade like some of the Rifle brigades?
As far as the Guard values, Ed will have to confirm why the variance between the standard Rifle and Guard Battalion. We have a master McNamara database and they were taken from there. I would have argued that the inclusion of more smg would impact the soft value (lower), but that doesn't align with the assault value (should be higher).
The hard attack value does cover off both AT rifles and an increased preponderance of improvised AT weapons (grenade bundles, molotovs, mines etc) as well as the will to use them. The non inclusion of further breakdowns at a Regimental level was deliberate, with Rifle Division variations kept at a Battalion level.
