And once again it’s time to thank Andreas and the other round directors for another fantastic tournament! And thanks to my five opponents, all of whom I had great games with. Congratulations to Mel for yet another tournament win, and to Christoffer (who beat me in round two) for his second...

Nice to meet you in Arnhem Bruce, and hope the rest of your “Big European Adventure “ went well. 😀

Congratulations to Bo for his 6-0 run, against some serious opposition. And especially thanks to Andreas and his team for once again putting a fantastic tournament together. See you in Borås soon, his other tournament which I can highly recommend. Walking the battlefield Thursday then playing on...

Me either, so 7,891! 😀

Thanks to Bo and Michael for another amazing tournament. I saw the last few moves of the final, heartbreaking stuff for Arnaud as he threw everything including the kitchen sink at the Marine lines.

Or rum… I already packed a bottle of 23 year old Xacapa… 👍

My 2024 ASL year is about to get a whole lot better, with the Scandinavian Open starting tomorrow. Three days gaming with fine people, what more could you want?

It varies between “totally dry” to “right up to the edge of the road” depending on rainfall. And being Australia, rainfall is often a case of “all or nothing”.

Interesting that there are very few wrecks in the village itself, most are in the fields and orchards on either side. I’m guessing that no sane tank commander wants to be trapped in a narrow street environment if they can avoid it.

And it was a damn good tournament! Unfortunately I didn’t have a chance to play Toumo, but I did play five great games against five great opponents. Thanks again to Andreas and the other Round Directors. And thanks to those I played, after I got home I was thinking that one of the great things...

A question on how to interpret SSR2 in ASL156 Broken Bamboo. “If at the end of any Player Turn the British have amassed greater than or equal to 4CVP and more CVP than the Japanese, then Japanese treat all “attack” breaks (G1.12) as “other breaks” (G1.13) for the duration of the scenario.” Is...

Played this last night against Michael H-L as the Australians. Michael (as expected ) pulled every Japanese trick out of the book but I slowly pushed him back to the village with a hook up each flank. The last turn saw a desperate effort to take and control three hut hexes, a 24-1 shot and Smoke...

Thought so. Great AAR by the way! 😀

About to play this and by PTO rules the road doesn’t exist and the bridge is a “dry” ford. However the setup instructions mention printed road hex’s, presumably only for setup purposes, otherwise Open Ground? This AAR certainly seemed to have the bridge as a bridge, not a ford.

Playing Michael is always a pleasure, even though the wins are very few and far between! And I ALWAYS learn something when we play.
