knock yourself out. You have a history of name-calling. Why stop now?

No idea why the post quoted the same thing so many times. ;p

’Risk’? Using labels like ‘the Elites’ with pejorative connotations is the tool of the Karen…don’t be a Karen. If the norm is to wait around for all the easily offended, chip on their shoulder, folk to give their approval then screw the norm. It sounds like those type of folks are the ones...

I don't see why you think you need to buy another book.

If you can't see how ROF with Smoke (or depletion on the 1st roll) can completely skew a scenario into a waste of time, then I don't think you understand how ASL works at all. Most of the folks involved in this project have been playing since the early playtests of Squad Leader itself. So...

Interestingly enough, the proposed changes remove ROF possibility for Mortars when firing Smoke.

I agree. There is some element of luck in the game...it was designed that way. Lucky changes in fortune are sometimes the most exciting part of ASL, but the rules as written can be improved to keep that excitement and remove some of the disastrous inability to recover from such misfortune due to...

I was part of the discussion over how these proposed changes would end up. I didn't particularly like some of the changes, but I didn't dislike any of them. And, quite a few of these are improvements to play, imho. There have been issues with some aspects of the game since it's release...

Sad to hear this. I always enjoyed talking to and gaming with Russ. His snoring was legendary...

I just googled the inn and called their local number. I have a room with two beds. If the block sells out I can share the room with a non-smoker, non-snoring person who doesn't mind sleeping with the AC on maximum and the fan blowing all night. ;)

Google Earth view of the heights and canal. Note the very sparse tree cover.

Thanks Scott, I believe the prepared fire zones and light woods really change bd 39. The Grebbeberg Heights was covered in sparse woods and much steeper than Hill 2 depicts. And, like the eastern front, board 2 has been overused and bores me. ;)

Who dat? 400 or so volunteer soldiers and policemen running away with the Queen is not much of a scenario. 🤣
