I just wanted to give a shout-out to MMP for their support of the film D-Day Over Normandy. Excellent film and I was thrilled to see Brian Youse called out in the credits with a Thank You, and MMP's logo showing up (in a giant font no less) at the end. Maybe this is old news--- but it wasn't...

St. Pete: "Oh... you play ASL do you?" Darrell: "Ugh... yeah... not the question I expected at these gates..." St. Pete: "We have another player here... let me introduce you to Mr. Fish." Darrell: "Fish!" St. Pete: "One thing... he's also the TD... good luck." Fish: ":cool:" JT

Good time to point out situation that often gets overlooked: Russkies carrying MMGs and HMGs that are 5PP. When CX already they cannot advance 1 hex into open ground due to the fact that they only have 1 MP (4mp - 3pp) and since OG is 1 MP that makes it an advance vs difficult terrain...

Played Darrell a few times at ASLOk... he was one of the band. A nice guy and good player. Saddened by his departure--- its too soon. Hoping he's getting a chance to sit around the bar in Valhalla and hear directly the stories of our heroes. Good-bye brother. JT

This came up in a game tonight, and it was stated that "they changed that--- its on gamesquad." A broken Chinese vehicle crew (1-2-6, 5 broken morale) with self-rally capability under DM attempts self-rally on the opponent's turn. A 1,1 is rolled. My understanding is that crews are not...

This scenario is on the list for the ASL Open. It would be really nice to get 100% clarity on what the VC are. Rich--- did you say that Pete confirmed that ONLY PBF/TPBF inherent infantry FP should apply? Or were you saying he confirmed what was in your opponent's email? Thanks ahead of time...

Brian, Just seeing this. Thanks much for your dedicated service. It has brought me hours and hours of fun and memories. I'll be looking forward to seeing you across the table again... maybe not in ASL, but there will be something. Long Live Winter War. JT

Breathing new life into this necro-thread. So Carl Nogueira and I played this back in 2016 and we opted to play that the SSR should read "LESS than or equal" rather than "greater than or equal". It was an epic game. Carl generated 6 heroes as the Poles, and came up 1 point short of the exit...

All of this was sorted with the J11 errata removal of the term "Bog penalties" from the RB, and is further clarified by 3 Q/A that Klas has in his compilation. Search for D2.11 and B23.41. JT

:rolleyes:... I don't see huts mentioned in the SSR... We felt our interpretation followed the rules logic--- thereby setting aside the question of designer intent. Too bad it was not more explicitly stated in the reprint. JT

Concur as well. Re-read B.1---- "common sense must prevail" :eek: JT

Designer intent would be useful. When I played this earlier this year we went with option 2. Here is why: G5.1 Whenever PTO Terrain (G.1) is in effect, each wooden Single Story House (B23.21) whose hex contains ≥ two separate buildings, but no partial building depiction, becomes a hut. Except...

See the attached picture. Is the burning rubble "directly attached" to the orchard hex and therefore the -2 flame spread DRM does not apply? Thanks ahead of time, JT

Apparently Homeland Security confiscated the new FrF packs so we don't have those either. :mad: Somewhere there a bunch of TSA agents playing new FrF scenarios.... JT
