Thanks again Ole, Don Hancock

How many restrictions to long range fire can you find in the rule book? Don Hancock

I don't think 12 to 8 is a good indication of balance. In my game of J83, the Russians were winning until a last turn charge amazingly captured two more buildings. In J84, the US won rather easily due to I believe some poor setup choices and some lucky dice that discovered the HIP gun with...

Hi All, A14.2 [EXC: prior to Random Selection, the Sniper may choose one of the following as its target: the enemy Sniper counter;... A14.31 vs SNIPER: An enemy Sniper can be attacked ... or if its Sniper counter is selected as the target of an enemy Sniper attack. Here's the situation...

I played this and though the Germans won, it was more to overly aggressive Russian play with the vehicles. They got too close and got toasted with the PSKs or PFs. If the FT tanks had held back until the Germans were beaten up a little, I think with their help, the Russians could have kicked...

Does A18.12 say BOTH attacks have to be redone, or just the attack that resulted in the leader creation. So no rules problems with the DEAD US HS creating a leader. I LOVE ASL. Don

Japanese 247 HS banzais into a hex with US 347 HS. Advancing fire results in HOB for the US HS. He get's a Hero and is now Fanatic. CC, Japanese attacks HTH at 1:2. Result is a CR, random selection eliminates the HS. US attacks back at 2:1. Rolls 1,1, eliminates the Japanese HS...

Wow, I'm old, but I do remember. It was with Cloyd Angel (or something like that, a great guy). We played 3 player A3 Decent Into Hell out of the then new ASL Annual 89. It was in Los Angeles at TRW, where gamers used to get together once a month. That was the first FTF I can remember. I...

Too often. I have to admit, I've recently decided I get more bandwidth on this list than on the ASLML. It took a month of reading both before I decided to switch the ASLML to digest mode. Now I hardly read the ASLML any more. Don Hancock

Can an artillery observer on a level two hill see a spotting round that lands in a jungle hex with intervening jungle hexes. Jungle is a level 2 obstacle (G2.1). Spotting rounds extend 2 levels above the base level (C1.32). An obstacle does not block los into itself (duh, A6.2). I would say...

Hi Ole, Thanks for your prompt reply. I appreciate it. Don Hancock

A4.12 Leader Bonus: Any Good Order MMC which begins and ends its MPh stacked with a leader of the same nationality in the same Location is eligible for a two MF bonus during that MPh, provided it moves with that leader in a combined stack and does not expend any of its MF to mount, ride, or...

Thumps self in forehead. I forgot to check the ASOP. That's definitive. Thanks for your help. Don Hancock

Hey all, I've been reading JR's Bring On The Night article again. I think I've read it 10 times or so. It's great. Unfortunately, I think I've found something that conflicts with the rulebook. The article says IR has to be fired before other fire in the appropriate phase. (Prep for...

Thanks all. You guys are great! I'm up to 7, count'em games. Thanks. I could probably do one more :-) current list, if anybody is interested: RBIII - Will Roberts A19 Cat & Mouse - Karl Branagan J48 Blood Enemies - Ron Mosher J43 3rd RTR - Jeff Leslie J55 Matsumoto's Charge -...
