Never got to play much ASL, but I still play the original SL games quite a bit; a couple have already been converted, and I think with the new smaller maps, I might try my hand at one or two when 3.0 becomes available, time permitting. Anyway, my favorites are:
Guards Counterattack
Tractor Factory
Hill 621
Escape From Velikiye Luki
Paw of the Tiger
Hube's Pocket
A Winter Melee
Silent Death
Swatting at Tigers
The last one is one of the best, I think, featuring a bunch of scattered American paratroopers in Italy, whose only AT weapons are bazookas and a mountain howitzer, defending two ridges from a full platoon of Tiger tanks with infantry support from the Herman Goering Division.
Regarding victory conditions and conversions: I think that Matrix will be providing new types of victory hexes which will broaden the victory spectrum a bit, I think, in 3.0.
That change, along with an option (as WB suggested in another thread) for variable placement (should be on a unit-by-unit basis, so that some are free setup and some not) would go a long way toward capturing the SL/ASL experience.
