    The modern way to take out the Maginot Line ?

    During WWII the Nazi-occupied Maginot Line fortresses were taken out by buldozing the exits shut, then dropping gasoline & explosives down the air vents. As recapitulated in The Dirty Dozen. In the Pacific Theatre, flamethrowers & flame tanks worked the open entrances, followed by demo...

    SL to ASL BPV conversion

    And of course "SkudKaFizz" is the name of a fizzy drink concocted by Don Greenwood containing Mr.Pibb, aspirin, and laudeneum, to take the edge of editing ASL drafts.

    It is absolutely hard for players who have not memorized the names and accepted cryptograms for all the products. Its the typical attitude of the Grogs who want to drive away new players by their habitual condescending behavior. State the phrase AND the abbreviation, so people can LEARN.

    How to become better at using AFVs in ASL?

    The rules specify a HEX. If you are in Bypass, are you IN a hex? If so, WHICH hex? Maybe the sentences specifying "in a hex" are moot with respect to Bypass ?

    How to become better at using AFVs in ASL?

    Why is the website deleting my "greater than" characters, which I use to denote quoted material, in accordance with the most fundamental RFCs in the computer world? In this composition box, while editing in this comment, I see the word QUOTE in brackets [] where the symbol ought to be; but when...

    How to become better at using AFVs in ASL?

    Altered this slightly: This makes sense. I am driving my tank at 5 mph and come into view of ground that I want to cross at 30mph. So I [stop, back up, and get a running start so I am in 4th gear] by the time I enter that ground. The actions in [...] take place within the hex I am in, so in...

    How to become better at using AFVs in ASL?

    I was following you until that. IF THE TANK DOES wish to enter a hex that it has insufficient MP to enter, AND IT chooses to enter THEN it enters the new hex at whatever MP expenditure the driver want to spend. So, if the hex costs X MP and the tank has <X , I can enter the hex and choose to...

    I give, you take...

    Why is the word "different" in that sentence? A unit changing possession to/from itself is silly. The word "between" clearly requires more than one unit. And as written it allows n-way swaps, not only 2-way.

    Map bundle

    So I guess the manufacturing process embosses a crease & ships them to the warehouse flat, and when you sell one you fold it by hand & stick it in an envelope?

    New people would greatly benefit if you decoded the jargonspeak filename to actually say which module it covers.

    ASLRB - 2020 Update version - Errata

    So does this 4 pages supercede all the errata on the website, which very confusingly applies to each earlier version? So for $100 you get to pencil-in ONLY 4 pages of stuff... And presumably its NOT in the new digital version either?

    MMP eRulebook

    The FireFox AddOn called NoScript allows you to block scripts, such as tracking & ad serving crap. Finding a tablet that does not "phone home" your activities is difficult. How much memory is required for the eASLRB, so you can operate offline?

    Hmm, then if I buy software that lets me edit the PDF, I can add, say, blank lines, and "logical page 7" just becomes longer, it will not "bleed over" into the next logical page. Good.
