    ASLOK XXXVIII - October 6th thru 13th, 2024

    I finally got around to updating the ASLOK website with the info for this year's ASLOK. We're back at the Bertram in Aurora, OH which was well received last year. A reminder that folks staying onsite at the hotel is what allows ASLOK to happen by hitting our room numbers so if you need a room...

    ASLOK XXXVII - Official TD AAR

    Stopped by the hotel to drop off plexi and make sure all was well. 2 games going on. Both from the new AP. Philippe vs Big Bad John was the only Cup match. The one, the only Madman Mike McGrath was looking for an opponent. Dave Ginnard has been offering airport shuttle service to attendees...

    ASLOK Feedback - How much does an airport shuttle matter?

    Trying to finalize a venue for this year's ASLOK as our long time hotel had some "challenges" last year. Unfortunately, most hotels with the event space needed to accommodate us do not have our preferred dates available. But there is a hotel on the east side that does which looks appealing. It...

    ASLOK XXXVI - Official TD AAR

    Stopped by the hotel yesterday to check on how things were going under Wild Bill's watchful eye. The World Cup was all tied up at 2 apiece. 20-some were already through the door by Saturday afternoon. I counted 22 but probably missed a few in that count. Pre-Reg list has pushed to 97 and I...

    Continuous Slope & Cliffs?

    Deluxe board n - is there a continuous slope from hex G5 to E5? Alpine Hills are in effect so it is a matter of LOS. B.5 defines Continuous slope as: "...a change in elevation such that, in each hex, successively crossed by the LOS, the elevation changes by one level in a continuous gradient."...

    VBM Entry on a half hex?

    Dumb rules question time. Say I can enter the map up to L20 which is a half hex with woods in it. If I VBM the off board side of L20, did I enter on L20? Can I be shot in L20? Can I then drive into M20 which is not a legal entry hex? Or if I have to enter on L20 do I actually have to VBM one of...

    ASLOK XXXV - Official TD AAR

    Stopped by the hotel on Saturday afternoon and around 17 were already in and gaming when I was there. We had 5 on Friday evening which is close to a record for that early. Hopefully we can keep up that pace. By Sunday attendance was likely pushing 40 - I think I counted 33 definites and am...

    ASLOK on Hold For Now

    I just posted the following in the ASLOK thread, but thought it valuable to post as its own thread to get the word out. Basically ASLOK is on hold - I anticipate cancelling, but the hotel has given us a couple more weeks to decide so I'm taking advantage of that time hoping for a miracle. We...

    ASLOK Thoughts in the Age of Covid

    We are currently pondering what had previously been unfathomable, should we hold ASLOK this year? I had been delaying making a decision for as long as possible in order to collect more information and hope that perhaps by Oktober things might be getting back to something approaching "normal"...

    ASLOK XXXIV - Official TD AAR

    Stopped by the hotel in the early afternoon on Saturday and the gaming was already going strong. I saw 20-something there and playing. My official through the door count is at 21, but I'm confident that's low by a few. The early World Cup count was 2-1 USA as I believe Magnus Rimvall was the...

    ASLOK XXXIII - Official TD AAR

    Stopped by the hotel in the early afternoon on Saturday and the gaming was already going strong. I saw 28+ already in attendance by 1PM which is a pretty healthy figure for early on day 1. The World Cup got off to an early start as we registered 4 games on Friday as Cleveland local Pete Di...

    ASLOK XXXII - Official TD AAR

    Stopped by the ASLOK Hotel this evening and all was going well. Wild Bill had moved 30 AP13's already which means we had 30+ through the doors on Saturday which is quite impressive for this early. The World was only up 2-1 in the Cup and even trailed 1-0 in the very early gunning. Mike...

    Stopped by the hotel today in the early afternoon to see how things were going and check out the state of the hotel. Around 25'ish in by the time I left near 3PM including a few who didn't pre-reg which would bring our official count to 129 to date. Lots of games ongoing. World out to a 2-0...
