ASL Scandinavian Open 2024, February 28 - March 3 2024

He is, my fault - Juan sorry - I will change ASAP
3 more players have pre-registered; Rich Domovic (US), Asad Rustum (Sweden) and Magne Stenkløv (Norway)

 

[hastrup]

Two more players from Sweden, Peter Lindahl and Daniel Ahlm

 

[Juan SantaX]

Need help!

Which counter looks more French? The lighter or the darker?

 

[Fiedler]

The left (lighter) but none match perfectly.

 

[Juan SantaX]

At the end the darker tone looked less German.

Joel Olson did the counter. If the winner of the tournament don´t like it, I can keep it for myself!!

 

[Michael R]

I have a few models that I wish to use to make similar trophies. Could you DM your method to produce the base?
Thanks.

I don´t know how to do it. I found Joel in Discord and he do it for me. Without him I couldn´t do it.
I think that once you have the files, its not difficult to change them. I have files for a KV2 on German service, Tiger I, Char 1 bis, and Panzer IV.... The counter is 20cm x 20 cm (so not suitable for 1/35th models I guess...)

 

[Juan SantaX]

Joel´s work include the back of the counter!!

 

[Blaze]

The lighter one seems closer. At least how I perceive it on my monitor. The final trophy is brilliant. Great job.

 

[Juan SantaX]

Maybe... I asked to the stationery man that printed the counter to fix it, and I think it was worse... But looked almost the same as last year trophy so I took the darker: totally different to the German color.

I will arrive Wednesday at 16.00. If somehow my flight is late/delayed or something I will DM you.

If anyone arrives my time, please DM me.

Cheers

Good luck gentlemen! It has been a long time since I was in Denmark. I will be thinking of you while in California at the West Coast Melee where the weather might be a little better. My first S.O. was memorable for a walk back to the hotel in what I would call a snow storm, but you Scandinavians would call it a light dusting.

Scandinavian Open 2024 has been completed

A couple of hours ago the 2024 Edition of Scandinavian Open was completed. Another enjoyable event held is a positive atmosphere and with plenty of great gaming. Once again we could crown a FIRST TIME ASO WINNER – SVANTE SANDBLOM.

Svante played against Arnaud Sanchis in the final in an exciting game of “Shoot or Shovel”. Arnaud’s attacking Japanese forces had a lot of early success with WP, DC Heroes and banzai charges … and quickly made a lot of headway across the kunai and towards the victory area. Feeling the desperation to maintain control of their defensive lines the Marines were pressed into frequent desperate measures fending off the aggressively pressing Japanese hordes. The sense of fearless aggression from the Japanese vs. the skilled yet effective desperation of the Marines was palpable.

At the end game the Japanese once more roared forward to try and create a hole in the Marines “wall of flesh” standing in front of the final Victory area. A deftly thought out plan executed well still faltered at the hands of accurate shooting and an accurate sniper activation eliminated the threat finally – and with that Svante could reach for a sky and yell out in excitement over the Tournament Victory.

Well done!

 

[Del]

Thanks to Bo and Michael for another amazing tournament.
I saw the last few moves of the final, heartbreaking stuff for Arnaud as he threw everything including the kitchen sink at the Marine lines.

 

[san]

Thanks Bo & Michael for hosting another great event, and congratulations to Svante for a well-deserved win! Looking forward to the 2025 edition of ASO.
