The rating is good for all mind games to give a rough estimation of the player experience/skills, of course it is not perfect but still useful especially for TDs. Said that, I don't think someone in ASL tourneys is going to play for a draw against a much better opponent (like in chess). For the...

This is my thought too, at this point much better Scenario Packs with a single historical map e some scenarios for it (see LCP).

I agree, but finding a cheaper way to print their products and using an European hub surely would be a win-win situation for both.

I am really missing products like Singling, just rules and historical map. Instead to have a generic geoboard map seldom used, much better a historical one (I know the effort is very different). I agree, after my last purchases I want to know who are the designers before to buy, another point...

TotR has been my turning point, really too expensive and I don't see it as a core module and I sold it, of course my opinion. Slaughter at Ponyri is interesting but I have BV and RF (and more) and paying 176$ (no preorder for us Europeans) for essentially 4 maps e 12 scenarios is out of...

I don't think it is a good idea, you might end up spending more time in settling disputes that on more important stuff. If both players agree to ignore it everything is fine anyway. You can ask players feedback after the tournament to understand how many TD's SSR have been ignored and how...

Scenario design is something that I am continuing to postpone because I think that I am not good enough. I know you don't have to be a top player to do it but I have a lot to cover first. I have played several Schwerpunkt's scenarios over the years, another great TPP resource, thanks.

And with your magazine you (all) are doing a great job!

Then your time spent on getting better didn't result a better enjoyment of the hobby. This is actually what I am trying to understand.

My kids have no interest in ASL, the counters and maps are too boring for them. But I have played Undaunted Stalingrad at least! I remember your name on Matrix forum as well, when I used to play WitP-WitE-CM pc games and other ones.

Well, I also play for fun, and getting better is part of the fun. Nice to read that you spend time for teaching newcomers.

Yes, the only wargame that I am continuing to play over the years is ASL. All the others have been temporary.

Wow, that's a lot! Btw, I have tried to play with real maps and counters on Skype/Discord (and also using real dice with a webcam on the tower) but unfortunately few people are interested, I really like that way.

Sorry for your health issues. I really appreciate your work on DM site. My first AP was the number three with your scenarios and I have good memories of them. Definitively you are fully committed to ASL.

You have a very methodical approach, my congrats. Surely it helps you a lot in the learning process. Who is my opponent is important of course, playing a perfect game against someone that you find very annoying it is not worth your time anyway. Most of my FtF games end with some alcohol in my...

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear, I shared my thoughts like you did but my feeling about the hobby hasn't changed for what you wrote in your post :) And yes, this is my personal point of view. For me ASL is like chess, I really love the intellectual challenge. I can play a chess game against anyone...

Well, a very dedicated player for sure, thanks for your work on Discord! It was my thought too, but eventually I came back. Community played a big role on that, I have met a lot of people over the years and some of them I can call friends (for me at least).

A lot of time, indeed. And yes, my plan would be one rule per day +Q&A if any, (easy peasy)

Reading the Tuomo's ASL biography (this post) make me think... I started in late August 2008 with SK scenario 1, then I quickly moved to ASL full two weeks later, I played a lot in my early years until I was experiencing burnout (several reasons not only game related, read kids!). I was very...

Are you still available? Tomorrow afternoon is a sweet spot for me too.
