    Majority Squad Type?

    Hi Michael, one would think, right? This issue has come up repeatedly in the last 20 years (search for night lax ambush) without any satisfactory clarification... As the Manila SSR specifically calls out both the 'all units' and MST as separate clauses, my assumption would be the hero would get...

    Majority Squad Type?

    If I could ask a follow up question here, in a Japanese night attack in Manila it says all units are Lax, as is the majority squad type. Fair enough. For ambush purposes, then is a hero a net zero (+1 Lax, -1 inherently Stealthy) or just a +1 for Lax like everyone else? Thanks very much!

    Official Manila errata, aka The Manila Envelope

    Hello again, question on CG9, which reads: 'CG9. CONCEALMENT: All Infantry (and their possessed Weapon) setting up in Concealment Terrain may always be set up concealed if out of enemy LOS. Otherwise, A12.12 applies normally. Other Eligible units may be concealed prior to the opponent viewing...

    Manila CG3 Japanese Reinforcement Entry

    Hi friends, I have seen http://www.gamesquad.com/forums/index.php?threads/saf-manila-cgiii-1-japanese-reinforcements-and-cg21-west-edge.172260/ but I just wanted to explicitly clarify - during phase 1 Japanese reinforcements can magically appear on the sea wall (ie from the west), even south of...

    Dennis boys trip to Manila #2 (Let's try SF CG3)

    Hmmm, that is a good question, I would have only applied it on day 2 🤷‍♂️... In terms of VPs, I took 11 iirc, essentially the front row of vp buildings from the Elena apartments to the Ermita apartments. Good luck out there!

    Dennis boys trip to Manila #2 (Let's try SF CG3)

    Having just finished the first half of CG III I was very heartened by your comments, esp. the last two bullet points. Don't get me wrong, we really enjoyed it, but at halftime the US (me) netted a +1 VP advantage, and went into the second half facing an enemy with more of everything (10-20 more...

    Official Manila errata, aka The Manila Envelope

    Hey friends, in CG3 I had a sad immobilized tank on board 6 an the end of Phase 1. It did not roll a 6 to automatically go off into never-never land per CGIII.2 . It also did not, however, decide to repair its engine. Now that board 6 is gone from play, is the tank eliminated, or is it a...

    Shellhole and wide city boulevard

    Let me muddy the waters further - if a gun is firing ITT at a MMC in shellholes in a boulevard hex, does the +1 for the shellholes get applied to the TH roll, and the -1 for the boulevard to the IFT roll, or do they both apply to the TH roll and cancel out to 0?

    OBA and Factories ... LOS etc

    I totally agree with you, this has recently come up in our Manila game for some of the larger multi-hex buildings... It sure would be nice to put that pre-reg right in the middle of the building... but you can't :(

    Manila 20.605 infiltration question

    Hello friends. In playing CG1, this step says: 20.605 INFILTRATION: The Japanese (only) may attempt to infiltrate into other locations prior to determining the Perimeters. They may freely move (along a path of Enterable hexes devoid of American units) ≤ 5 of their Good Order MMC (and any SMC/SW...

    Silly After Action Report - Messervy's Men

    'Nevertheless I shall try as I feel I serve as a warning to fresh young players about what happens when you don't read victory conditions, understand the rules or pay attention to the map. ' Perhaps my favorite line of all time from an AAR - that's my every game in a nutshell!

    C3.71 Question

    Thanks everyone for your input! Now I have a better appreciation for what the Supreme Court goes through. Once a Gun, always a Gun? Does carrying = manning? I guess one way to conceptualize it is when it is its 5/8 counter and banging away, the crew is all clustered around the mortar. A CH...

    C3.71 Question

    Hello fellow ASLers - here is a thinker. I had a crew walking down the street in Stalingrad carrying their dismantled 81mm mortar, laughing contemptuously at the puny Russian 50mm mortar rounds landings around them. Until, that is, said Russian mortar got a Critical Hit. For the purposes of...

    FrF95 Blood Red Snow - AAR

    I was so excited to read this! Gunter's amazing book describes a number of detailed actions (this being the centerpiece) which I have always thought would make great scenarios - and it looks like this one is right on the money. IIRC in the book it was the 75L that saved the day. Great write up!
