The map art was fixed, and the concerns noted. Some had issue with the variant terrain rules, new terrain, etc. The thing I heard from people was that the ASL artwork did not work well in the near photo-realism of the maps. So I did some sample revised artwork. Some of the comments were...

I have no problem with constructive criticism or input of that nature -- which I acknowledged. Yes, I know people had questions about the graphics differences. That was why I also went ahead and spent months of my spare time making new counter art for the cross overs. Some folks were...

You will have to pardon, as I know little about your project or who you are. It was just a fluke I came back on here, as a gaming friend asked me about Rommel's Battalions/Brigades a few weeks ago. I was considering getting back into wargaming as I had some spare time for it now. RMB...

The Days of Valour modules I created would have introduced card mechanics, but no one wanted it. Ironic to see it is now being considered. My own game system that I adapted to work with ASL used a card system for twenty years to great effect. Everything from simulating better Fog of War...

Actually the Red Cross is one of the worse to give money to for disaster relief. Just google the whole Hurricane Sandy efforts, Haiti, etc to see how much of a scandal that was. You will find plenty of others going all the way back to 9/11. Speaking as someone who was a Red Cross Disaster...

Paul, These should serve as reminders. Both pictures are from the module I did for the American landings scenarios. There are 12 double sided desert maps in this module, with twenty scenarios -- including a few large tank battles from Tunisia campaign. The introduction of new terrain types...

All of the maps I did had your suggestions on them Paul. Not sure what you thought of the pictures I posted a few years ago, but I know there was a lot of objection to the use of a new style of displaying terrain, but also simple things like high walls, cactus patches, and even different...

I suspect you are partially correct, but keep in mind that early war Australian, Kiwi, and South African units suffered from a British bias in the first two years of the desert war when it came to equipment and supplies. As to it being confused with an AA mount, no it was not. I have gone...

I have often seen them in the early Desert War research I have done, mostly with Australians and Kiwi soldiers in defensive positions. The Bren had a good range and accuracy when fired from a stable firing platform (by commonwealth standards). They got in this habit from using salvaged...

I do look in from time to time, as there are some positive posters here. I just gave up on trying to do anything positive here, as the environment is simply too toxic. And for the record, I am not comparing myself to Glenn. Stop twisting words Swiiftsure. Typical false comparision...

From what I could tell he left for the same reasons I did. This is not a forum that is conducive to friendly innovation, growth or cooperative thought processes. The high level of negative attacks that are generated here have ripple effects on others who like the game, but whom lurk rather...

So are you saying you liked what I proposed as a sample?

Do you want the counters to be nation specific colours, or just generic two team colour options?

It is not so easy to do when you can have some very dull terrain versus some very contrasting terrain. Speaking as someone who did a large collection of desert maps for my own campaign battles, the problem with generic sand is you lose a lot of interpretation that realism oriented terrain...

Yes good luck with it as well. I did similar with Flags of Wars, but the push back was so great there was little point to continue setting that up for ASL. Still it is worth it to see a pet project materialize into something usable. Cheers.

And it is those few that don't that make it bad for everyone. No surprise. You are suppose to put a copy of the manuscript, rules, components and game in the envelope and leave it sealed. The reason why the practice fell out of favor with the courts was it was proven by "experts" that this...

My lawyers told me years ago to let it go and not discuss it publicly any longer, or more specifically name names. Even though truth is not considered libel, rich people can still make life miserable. Not worth reopening that wound. The person who stole the work from me mysteriously...

Your earlier comment was on the money (no pun intended). The legal document has the most value in the eyes of the court when considering claim to damages as compensation. Sadly, It is entirely up to the copyright holder to pursue and legal enforcement, hence why it helps to a) have lots...

You would be better off to put "Do not copy without permission". Anyone who is honest will ask you first before copying, and some shops will actually read that warning and refuse photocopying attempts or reprints based on that. Not many, but some. Anyone who is not honest on the other...

Oh my. I am such a bad man for making a typo. Shame on me.
