Still not convinced that SK PTO will really be close to REAL ASL PTO, the key of course is utilizing HIP Japanese. A concept totally lacking in SK games. If the yellow guys can’t use HIP, it will be too easy.

I would expect SK scenario designers to factor that into their work. It all comes down to "design for effect" with the rules that are available.

ASLSK has HIP.

Red Star, Red Sun has very little if any useful HIP.

I will patiently wait for the boards to be sold separately.
That means 2021.

If there's HIP, concealment and banzai then the key elements are there. You don't need the more obscure stuff like tank hunter heroes or HIP pillboxes with tunnels. We need more PTO boards. This is good.

So far we have an affirmative on HIP and Banzai but not concealment....so is concealment included too?

I agree that the obscure Japanese stuff is unnecessary as far as the PTOSK is concerned.

Oh....I just saw a concealment counter in the sample. That is fine.
