Unit are easy.  One PZIV and 3 Panthers computes to one PZIV and 3 Panthers.

A hex in PL/PB is 1000m and CS is 500.  You are going to have to make the map twice as large.

Same with time.  One turn in PL/PB could equal two turns in CS.

Just a thought.

Both the PanzerBlitz / Panzer Leader / Arab Israeli Wars boardgame format and the JTCS engine actually have 250m hexes and 6 minute turns per rule books / user manuals, something I am sure you knew once you've had another morning cuppa  Helmet Wink

That said, the victory conditions play quite differently, and there's a ton of other small changes, like JTCS having two fire missions for most units per turn to PB/PL/AIW etc. 

Also, JTCS order of battle is much more detailed to these boardgames, so there's that too. 

This all means the conversions are not easy to get one-to-one, if even possible. But they can be great fun. Or not. Each to their own.
