Every bit of that which you wrote applies to me as well! While I haven't commemorated this important anniversary by playing ASL, it has inspired me to re-read 'Alamein to Zem Zem' by Keith Douglas. On a related note, I have been doing a quite a bit of reading of my old issues of 'After the...

Excellent points! I should have clarified in my earlier post that I have no complaint with any of the 'Fort' boards, and I have enjoyed every scenario which I have played upon them.

I could not have said it better regarding the geo boards. I am beyond done with them. I have been spoiled by the unique flavor and appearance of the HASL's... Festung Budapest, Operation Turnscrew, and Fight for Seoul in particular. 'ASL life' is too short IMO to keep playing on the same...

I noticed the town of 'Pleszow' in the Krakow image. Would this be the site of the infamous labor camp featured prominently in 'Schindler's List'?

The new Panther certainly appears to be a very capable AFV. I can't help but notice that Rheinmetall seems to have reintroduced the turret front 'shot trap' of its WWII predecessor.

Maude Lebowski had a similar set up which could be considered.
