    Article by V. Maresca entitled "Campaign Game Day 1 in the Barrikady"

    I wrote down the author's name and the title of this article some time ago, got busy with life, and am at last circling back to find it. "Vinnie Maresca" contributed to a recent Banzai!! (Oct. 2020) so I assumed it was in Banzai!! but could not find it there. So, where is it? Not Texas ASL: just...

    The Last Bid (RB5) OoB - RB vs. RF

    Maybe I am the last to the party, but there are differences between the German OoB in the Last Bid - RF and the Last Bid - RB (ver. 1, are there multiple versions?). Specifically, 14 x 8-3-8 become 4 x 8-3-8 (AE) and 8 x 8-3-8. 5 x 8-1 leaders become 4 x 8-1. 6 x 8-0 leaders become 5 x 8-0. 7 x...

    FT vs. Tank

    In the pic below, the T34 - M41 with VCA I44/I45 but TCA G44/H43 has just started and passed its Mechanical Reliability DR, when the assault engineers pictured attack it with their FT. The German player rolls a DR of 3,1 with 3 on the red die. Is the AFV (and crew) incinerated or just eliminated...

    RB Chapter O Rules which were clarifications of Chapter A-D rules - where'd they go in RF?

    The Red Barricades rules pages began with a series of O.# rules described as "clarifications of Chapter A-D rules." I can't find them in the Red Factories version of Chapter O. Are they still there? Assuming not, do they remain clarifications of A-D?

    CC with concealed units

    A concealed unit advances into a building hex containing a concealed enemy unit. Neither side succeeds in ambushing the other. The enemy unit declines to attack in CC, and the friendly unit fails to eliminate or casualty reduce the enemy unit. As the enemy unit is still concealed, the units...

    Armory for Squad Leader

    Is there an Armory listing for the Squad Leader components, as with (until recently) the ASL components? I long ago mixed some of my SL components (mostly leaders and system counters) into my ASL component set and now would like to separate them.

    Broken Infantry in Melee with Immobilized AFV

    Watching a VASL game I saw a MMC and leader advance into an open ground hex (with shellholes) containing an AFV and attack it in CC. They succeeded only in immobilizing the AFV. In the ensuing PfPh the AFV broke both with MA fire. The broken units then routed away. I thought A11.15/A11.7 plus...

    Cases A & B To Hit Penalties

    ASL Journal 8, Tip for the Trenches, notes: " . . . a Gun can avoid the Case A TH penalty by simply changing its CA in the PFPh without firing, and firing instead in the Advancing Fire Phase? C5.11 requires a Gun to pay the TH penalty only in the same phase it changes CA." Ok, but won't Case B...

    My Next ASL Product or Scenario Pack?

    I am restocking my ASL collection after a long hiatus, and as I prefer to play only stuff I have paid for (because designers deserve to be compensated, unless they want to give it to me for free): If you did not already own it, what ASL product or scenario collection would you spend your next...

    "Stop and Go Traffic: Moving, Motion, and Non-Stopped Status"

    This is an excellent article by Ole Boe on the stated topics as well as "Moving Target," which appeared in the ASL Annual '96. Is there any list, or does anyone know, the specific observations in it if any that have been clarified, rendered obsolete or even reversed by subsequent rule changes...
