I posted the following on The "Desperation Morale" site regarding Critical Hit's WW1 ASL Compliant product...
I thought I would look for intelligent responses here:
This has been a few years now, but I must ask – precisely why is WW1 not portable to ASL rules system?
The tactics, time frame of turns, movement – etc are all the same at Squad-Platoon level.
The 1917 US Army Infantry Manual show that…. So I don’t understand why WW1 combat is not a fit to the ASL system?
I mean, having been an infantryman trained in the 1980, and read the 1917 Infantry manual – the concepts of movement to contact, deploy, lay down a base of fire to fix the enemy front – while flanking and penetrating the flank or rear of the enemy position by rushes to cover, were spelled out in 1917…nothing has changed in 80 years – except the tools available. So if that was valid in 1917, and still valid in 1980…I can’t see why WW2 Infantry combat via ASL is invalid for a representation of WW1 circa 1917-1918.?
Well...?
