Hey guys, can all of you take a moment, and have a look at the poll Don has posted? It asks the ultimate question:

What is the best wargame of all time?

So far, those ASL boys are killing us by sheer numbers! :laugh:

Get in there and make sure our section is heard!

You're right! And they cannot laugh... ASL is also a "dead" game... :devious: :devious:... :hush:


(dead = no developments in ages... only players care about it)

I think you've been mis-informed on this. ASL is not dead. In fact, it is alive and growing.

Curt Schilling, a major league baseball player bought the rights to produce modules for ASL from Hasbro. He formed the company Multiman Publishing (MMP) and has been publishing ASL modules, scenario packs, Journals and their ASL Starter Kit #1 is one of the best selling wargames of 2004.

MMP has re-issued the rulebook and Beyond Valor (module #1), but those quickly sold out. They will reprint them again in 2005. Also planned for 2005 will be the long awaited Armies of Oblivion which has the Axis Minor vehicles and guns, which will also complete the core modules. Journal #6 and hopefully Valor of the Guards (Stalingrad) should also be released in 2005.

Since the collapse of Avalon Hill, MMP has taken over the production of ASL and over the past 6 years they have printed five Journals (Annuals), A Guadalcanal module, an Operation Veritable (Riley's Road) module, an Arnhem module, Pegasus Bridge, a Tarawa module, Action Pack #2 and have reprinted three other core modules.

ASL is far from dead. If you look at our forum and any ASL website you will see an ASL tournament somewhere in the world at least every other week. I attend two tournaments in Seattle and Portland and we usually get between 30-40 ASL players at each one. ASLOK in Cleveland usually gets 150+ players.

ASL also has VASL, which allows players to play across the internet. This has a large following and allows players without a face-to-face opponent to play a 'live' opponent.

ASL is far from dead. It is one of the few wargames that is expanding.

I'm aware of the importance of ASL in the gamming world. It can't be compared with any other. That's very clear to me.

Please don't misunderstand me. What i was really complaining was about Toaw beeing "dead" not ASL.
ASL was a wonderfull "system", no where to go further... no need to go further.
Toaw was a wonderfull "system" :love:, probably it could go a little(?) further... no one to push it further :cry:

And thanks for the information :TRUCE:
