    Today in ASL I ... (Day to day ASL doings)

    I completed a Hazmo playtest for their upcoming pack #6. SS attacking Americans on the 12a village board in 1945. Incredibly fun. Combined arms, Stupid AFV Tricks: falling into the cellar, blowing their transmission, breaking their MA, and generally, performing…marginally. Momentum swung...

    What ASL Product Have You Bought Recently?

    Hazardous Movement is currently conducting playtesting for its sixth pack. Chuck had indicated at one point that Hazmo was going to take a break from designing. However, Chuck just can't help himself being the Design Machine that he is. We're currently PTing a 1945 SS v. American that is...

    Cross-posted from the BFP MC thread: Finished BFP-151 Delaying Action at Kylanmaki. Ended in Finn turn 3 after a LMG stunned+recalled the OT37 in prep fire. This after tough sledding for Russians with breaks, CRs and FTRs bogging down the attack due to some good Finn dice. The 10-0 helped...

    Mannerheim Cross Scenarios - What have you played?

    BFP-151 Delaying Action at Kylanmaki was one that jumped out at me also. Great minds think alike! I had printed out the card prior to starting this thread as I liked the VC that makes every turn a potential nail-biter. Good to hear the positive responses.

    Mannerheim Cross Scenarios - What have you played?

    It's been a couple months since MC hit my doorstep. I have not played any yet, but several scenarios have whetted my appetite and are in the breach ready for play. I always value experiences and recommendations from people who have actually played them. What would you recommend and what made...

    So what scenarios have you played Recently?

    Played 306 Roads to Perdition as the attacking German against the Czech/Partisans. A VP-driven game for building control, AFV/Guns, and the all-important hex control (>=4 of the available 10 hexes are mandatory for the Germans). A fun mishmash OB for both sides. Germans pressed toward the...

    Microsoft Teams

    So are you implying that a two-person Teams Free meeting gives you more than an hour? Just wanting to understand as I am looking for a replacement like many other ASLers.
