First of all, sorry if this is a FAQ, but I'm getting my head back into ASL after some long years. Now that we will have, soon, Hollow Legions and the desert war (not to mention the already available CdG) can we expect to see some Torch/Tunisia/Sicily (Allies vs. the remaining Italian forces)...

Do all of these news about CdG mean that the Italian module - along with the desert rules - is still beyond the visible horizon?

What I do find strange is that Hollow Legions + the Desert Rules would give you: - Initial clashes between Italians and the Commonwealth in the Western Desert - Greece - Afrika Korps - Torch - Tunisia - Sicily ...Plus, maybe, hypotheticals like an Italian invasion of Yugoslavia. Basically, a...

First of all, sorry if this is a FAQ, but the link to the "Emporium Rules" is broken :) I'm selling some ASL products on BGG. Is it possible to warn people here that they are available on BGG or this would violate some rule? Thanks in advance for your answer!

Ironically, I started playing ASL thanks to Starplayer. In 2013 (IIRC) I bought the 2nd Ed. Rulebook, BV, FKaC and Rising Sun - throwing in ASLSK #1 as a form of tutorial. The problem was not the price I paid for the games - the problem was the price I paid to DHL to ship them back in Italy :D

I hope that the Italian/Desert module will be published soon(tm). It would "unlock" the Greek-Italian War, Western Desert, Torch, Tunisia, and the Italian Campaign. A lot of theaters for the price of a single module.

Yes, that was the third occurrence (which also includes use of gas against cattle herds and other sources of food for Ethiopians). An interesting strategy devised by Italians was to use Yprite to "block" Ethiopians' routes of advance, sometimes even days before the expected enemy movements...

I have them :) (I bought everything SK-related before moving on to ASL). What happened is that today I dusted the corner where my SKs now are, and I wondered if also the original scenarios were feasible (with the caveat of balance problems). Beside having a bunch more, they could be used to...

Well, it is another way to better learn the in and outs of a system. No less than Stanley Kubrick himself once said that, when studying something, it is important to understand not only "what" an author put in his work (book, movie, game...) but also "why". And this can be an opportunity to...

Yes, Valor. I have it because a friend of mine bought it three years ago but then gave it to me since he wasn't really into HASL (how he discovered this after buying the game is beyond me...) Anyway, I have this brand new copy of VotG which I never even opened. I don't even know which part of...

I wonder if there will be a way to tie both RF and RO to Honor of the Guards... My knowledge of the events depicted is a bit rusty right now.

I know that it doesn't work the other way around (playing ASL scenarios with only SK rules). But today I was looking at my SK collection (which introduced me to ASL) and I wondered if I could replay their scenarios "Redux". I guess that balance will go out of the door - but that would not be a...

Ah! Sorry, my insomnia is catching up with me :D

How comes?

Gavin Take Both a classic and a good way to start playing with Yanks 2ed. The opening moves, as usual, are up to the Americans - which rolled well and started strangling my position. Then the winds of fate changed, and the Germans started to roll well too and pin dudes left and right...
