The Baz had an incendiary round.

#2

I've only played this once. Was the Russians and won. I don't remember much about it, except that lots of death all around.

Yes, it is obvious that a post about a preference is a matter opinion, especially when followed by ‘IMHO’...which, literally, means In My Humble OPINION. But, thanks for the clarification...as unnecessary as it may have been.

Lots of GMT fans pad the ratings. Twilight Struggle is a very good game, but it's not a wargame and its not in the top 10 overall, IMHO. Gloomhaven is an ok game, it has rabid fans, but it has no depth of play and once you've completed the storyline there is very little replayability.

Gotta agree. The French are the side to play if your life depends on it.

I almost always will take a shot no matter the odds if there is no malfunction possible and the firing unit is not likely to get a better shot.

P.S. I think Greenwood was the brains behind the final IFT...and ASL's IFT.

There ya go thinkin' again, Bob. Way too much analyzing for me during a game.

I tend to use risk analysis on the fly tactics. But, I also fly by the seat of my pants...what's a bloke to do?

I keep asking myself that.

What he said...It is very situational, like every decision in ASL. I now need to wash my mouth out for agreeing with Bob. ;) P.S. The articles Bishop linked are must reads for rules of thumb. Although, I think The Geometry of ASL by D. Haley is the best ASL article ever written.

It is in the rulebook, like so many other caveats, to prevent player omniscience from doing such things as shooting at upper levels looking for HIP units and just by 'coincidence' hitting that juicy target that's out of LOS in bypass along the back of the building.

It's always in the most friendly way, Jim! I don't know if I'm the first to do that, but I saw the possibilities very early in my ASL career. Did that to Fish once during a pre-ASLOK game and got the Fish-grin/snort followed by the coveted 'Jick' moniker bestowed upon me post haste.

I assumed you were making a joke of some sort...was just responding in kind.
