I have learned a valuable quote, I pass on to everyone younger than me..goes like this:Oh man, this sounds like me. Seriously, 4 tours, chronic pain, PTSD, nightmares and the wrecked shoulder! I have scars but I had them all before I joined. Sucks but I can honestly say that I would probably do it again. As you say, no biggie!
This is really a word of wisdom.I have learned a valuable quote, I pass on to everyone younger than me..goes like this:
MOST IMPORTANT ADVICE...NEVER EVER DO STUPID THINGS WHEN YOU ARE YOUNG ,THAT YOU WILL REALLY REGRET WHEN YOU ARE OLD....(WORD OF WISDOM FROM A GRUMPY VET).
Good advice but it will still fall on deaf earsI have learned a valuable quote, I pass on to everyone younger than me..goes like this:

Do you know why old people are so full of good advice?Younger people rarely listen to older people.
Yes! I was one of them.Do you know why old people are so full of good advice?
Because the young ones don't take it.

Yeah, all the people on your voluminous ignore list already provided this information.There is a flaw in the original question based on the notion that levels in ASL represent some specified height. They do not. The third dimension in ASL was deliberately left vague and unspecified, presumably to make it easier to design scenarios. So that hill over there that is 4 levels high? Maybe it's 200 feet high. Maybe it's 600. Same for buildings. It's obvious from the illustrations in the ASLRB that there was never any intention by the designers of ASL to have one level = one floor, even though many ASL players assume that is the case. The reality is that 8 story building may only be represented by three levels in ASL, if that's what the designer wants.
Wow, at the begining was just asking whether Hall 4 was 2 1/2 levels, or 1 1/2 levels high. After reveiwing a slew of pictures of the building, it should be 1 1/2 levels high. Since it was not as tall as the RB factories, but was a lot wider. My goal was to see what you players assumed the building level was. Man, you ask a simple question, and some people write a thesis on building design.... or bitch when you ask a question? Guess they think they rule the ASL world or something.....Seems that certain people here have the idea that they are forum moderators, and when a fellow player ....shock....gasp.....decides to change a scenario or campaign game it is heresy....feel like I should hear the next sentence......whaaaaaa..... change a scenario!!!!!!....... rewrite a campaign game!!!!!....ahhhhh burn the heretic.......flay them alive.................There is a flaw in the original question based on the notion that levels in ASL represent some specified height.

I've blocked a couple people in these forums for those very reasons. It makes my visits here much more tolerable by not seeing their posts.Man, you ask a simple question, and some people write a thesis on building design.... or bitch when you ask a question?

And then there are those people who get a clear answer to the question they have asked, and then bitch about the answer because it's not what they wanted to hear. Go figure.or bitch when you ask a question?
In War the only Victor is Death itself.....all soldiers look death in the eyes, and all they can do is smile back at him....This is really a word of wisdom.
Alas for times immemorable young men have been manipulated by those who know better about the 'honor', 'idealism', and 'adventure' part of soldiering & war leaving out the physical and mental price the former will pay for the interests of the latter. That said, the sacrifice of those who have been in the thick of it must be honored.
