    New members introduce yourself here

    They have been repainted, and is printed on cardstock similar to the ASLSK maps, but are "the same" maps. The only reason to acquire the old is if you prefer the mounted boards. I think you should pick up every module, except Gung Ho. Even if a module requires WoA or CoB, it's probably only...

    A24.31 and out-LOS-units

    b) is correct. (Thus, ordnance WP can affect out-of-LOS units when the WP is placed at the base level of a hex that has been hit via the ATT.) ...Perry

    Non-historical scenarios

    It is pretty fun to read, but I think Tate and Mark should consentrate on other topics to quarrel about now. ;) Mark, if you in the first thread that started it all, really only meant to criticize those who "design scenarios without doing any research at all", then I think you expressed...

    A7.351 Leader Direction

    Non-historical scenarios

    I don't think you know what you're talking about Mark. Ola Nygårds is a good friend of mine, and I know how hard and much he has worked on his scenario designs, but his focus has not been on making them realistic on a detailed level, but rather to make fun and balanced scenarios that are a...

    A8.1-.12, C5.33 and D3.3

    1) Is it correct that most non-MP/MF actions (ex: CE/BU placement, dropping SW, creating TH-Hero) can generally be declared simultaneously with [EXC: BFF] or before/between/after any MP/MF expenditure? Some such actions certainly may be. 2) If yes to 1), Assume that an BU AFV expends a...

    Boresighting M/HMGs

    Ron has the correct rule. Note that vs Infantry, boresighted MGs can only use their -2 DRM as DFF, i.e. when the Infantry is moving.

    C 8.31 , C13 Baz and WP

    The reason for the restriction on HEAT is that HEAT rounds had to hit a hard target to detonate. Smoke didn't work that way, neither from LATW nor from normal ordnance, so it makes perfect sense to only restrict HEAT ammo, not LATW in general.

    Getting started in ASL

    Note that there is very important errata found in several modules, like Croix de Guerre and Doomed Battalions, so getting all errata is no simply task. But even then, there are numerous differences. The biggest is the total rewrite of B9 for V.2, so its definately worth some extra cost to get...

    Geoboards

    I don't mind overlays at all, at least not if the number doesn't exceed 4-5 per board. I have laminated them and have some sticky gum that holds them in place and leaves no stain, so preparing the board with a few overlays takes shorter time than finding the counters for one side. What I...

    IIFT(M)QRDC 3.3 is out

    Well, I did colourise the 7 column with a slightly darker colour than the other lines. Not very much darker, but it should be enough to help you follow that line. It needs to look good too, so I didn't want to overdo it :cool: Nah, I have never played SASL and never will, and the Ambush...

    IIFT(M)QRDC 3.3 is out

    Most printers are unable to print without any margins, and in those cases you will necessarily have some white margins on one (or usually all) sides. Nothing to do about it, except printing at a more expensive printer. If the margins on your printer is so large that you don't see all of the...

    Wounded SMC Recovery

    Reepicheep is correct, he can recover the SW. Note that the rules makes a distinction between "possession (A4.43)" and "portaging (A4.42)". Posession is the act of controlling the the SW/Gun by having it ontop of the unit, and there is no limit to the number of SW/Gun on unit can possess...

    Deployment

    Yes, that's explicitely allowed in A2.52: "An off-board squad capable of Deployment may attempt to Deploy in its RPh if stacked with a leader".

    Battlefield Integrity (revisited, again)

    I didn't vote, since none of the options was correct for me: I started out playing ASL with BI, and did so for the first couple of years, but then found out that there simply wasn't much reason to do so. It didn't make the games more fun, and it potentially unbalances scenarios (since...

    G12.3 Beaching a Landing Craft

    I'll say a). E5.23 says "Beaching can occur freely during the boat's MPh/APh if it is declared as it enters any land/water hex..." showing that you can do it from a water hex. Moreover, G12.2 says "LC expend only MP, and cannot be carried/moved on(to) land...", showing that you're not even...

    Firelanes and Smoke

    Yes, if he has a +3 Smoke counter in his own Location, the DRM is +4.

    Firelanes and Smoke

    He can do this, assuming the Smoke combined with other hindrances didn't block LOS. The initial attack by the squad + MG receives the +3 Smoke DRM, but any subsequent attacks by the FL is not affected by Smoke, except that it negates FFMO. Its all explained in A9.222.

    IIFT(M)QRDC 3.3 is out

    Yes, a new version of the IIFT(M)QRDC is out, christmas comes early this year :joy: Version 3.3 can be found at home.no.net/oboe/, as usual. The Incremental Infantry Fire Table (Mini) Quick Reference Data Card, IIFT(M)QRDC, is a reference card that contains the Incremental IFT and some...

    VC Location Control - Bridges and Steeples

    Assuming your wording is correct, I would say it refers just to the bridge location, since it says "bridge in hex" instead of "bridge hex". Yes, No in that ordrer. Having a squad under the bridge in a hex devoid of armed enemy units gives you the control of the hex (but not of the bridge...
