    Fox Company at Toktong Pass VASL Map issue.

    Hi, I wonder if anyone can help. I am having an issue with the Fox Hill Map from LFTs from the cellar pack 8, Sand and Snow. I have downloaded the board file to my VASL boards folder and removed the .zip extension as directed. When I start VASl and go to the board picker drop down menu I see...

    Albany Tournament December 1st-4th All TD Communications Here

    Steve, I am not sure if this is the right thread to post questions regarding the selected scenarios for Albany 2022, so please forgive me if not. I am wondering about a couple of SSRs that raised a question with me, and may, I guess, come up at the tourney. AP177 A Celebratory Mood. SSR2...

    ALBANY HAS A NEW HOME!

    Hi Guys, I am trying to organize a trip up to Albany this year. I am in the US the week before, in Florida for work, and will probably be able to fly up on Friday. I am after some travel advice on how best to get back to JFK on Monday. I have a late flight out, around 21:00 and I would normally...

    Defensive first fire options vs Boats

    😂 Thanks for the reply, and for all your efforts to support ASL. I am a big fan of your article in DftB. Cheers l.

    Defensive first fire options vs Boats

    Thanks Carl, I was aware that you had made that change in Dinant, and that the justification was at least in part historical (and due to the specific conditions of the terrain of the Meuse banks). I think the Chapter E rules as written cause some serious issues when representing river crossings...

    Defensive first fire options vs Boats

    Q1. Can defensive first fire be conducted at boats solely due to the act of unbeaching? Boats may be freely unbeached during the MPh or APh. I assume, as this does not require a MP it is not a trigger for Defensive Fire? Q2. Can a boat that declares beaching as it enters a hex be the target...

    Operation Neptune, River Crossings

    Hi, I have finally cracked open ON and it looks great. I was setting up scenario ON-2 Wet Feet and it triggered a number of questions regarding boats and river crossings. The Wiltshires setup beached and loaded on the south bank of the Seine, which is only two hexes wide in places. Q1. Can...

    Rout Question

    Agree, it is a great resource and I visit it often but never noticed this chart before. It only came up as I did a specific google search.

    Rout Question

    The Texas ASL chart is credited to Bill Kohler 2016. It looks very comprehensive, different from the one you showed but may be functionally identical. http://www.texas-asl.com/download/download.htm

    Rout Question

    Funny you should mention that. I had just downloaded a rout flow chart from Texas ASL. It looks nice, I was running through it to see if it supported either side of the current discussion here. Not definitive I know but an interesting exercise none the less.

    Rout Question

    Player omniscience, which you have referenced several times is, respectfully, irrelevant. It is what is allowed under the written rules that is under debate. No where does it state in the rout rules that a unit cannot rout towards a non KEU (unless it has been one previously in the phase). It...

    Rout Question

    I agree. I raised the situation of the concealed units specifically to try and identify a functional difference between the two situations. In both cases the units are not KEU. Therefore H8 and H9 are legal rout targets and from the rules on rout and surrender in this situation I see little...

    Rout Question

    mmm dopamine

    Rout Question

    But at this stage we are not addressing any question of interdiction. We are simply trying to decide if the units can legally select H8 or H9 as legal rout targets and if so legally Low Crawl to I8 or I9 on their way to those targets.

    Rout Question

    Out of interest how does the situation change if the two units on the G hex row are concealed (or dummies)? The broken unit has the same rout options, correct? The units are still not KEU so from the routers perspective nothing changes when determining its rout path. Obviously the situation...

    Rout Question

    Scott, to be fair Wayne was very clear in his post that he was merely trying to explain what he deemed implicit in the rules.

    Rout Question

    And the counter argument to this is, that is not what A20.21 says. It says "Any broken Infantry unit during its RtPh that is both ADJACENT to Known, Good Order, armed enemy Infantry/Cavalry and unable to rout away from it or only able to rout while being subject to Interdiction or resorting to...

    Rout Question

    Yes. I believe a Q&A regarding whether the unit surrenders without the presence of this unit (G6) may be helpful. Scott Romanowski's view that as the unit cannot legally rout to H8 and H9 due to the presence of the out of LOS units in G9 and G10, or must Low Crawl means it must surrender...

    Rout Question

    Agreed, but not what it currently says.
