    ASL scenario idea...

    Hey guys, I'm contemplating going over to the dark side and actually trying to design a scenario. While I have a few ideas on the drawing board, an action I've been reading about recently seems to be crying out for the ASL treatment. With this in mind, can anyone tell me if there is any...

    DYO Point Value angst

    I think parachutes should be -2 BPV. How can doing a para drop be an advantage or even more of an advantage than say Camouflage that is 1 BPV? The reason paradrops were an option of last resort in WWII is they are dangerous. Sappers being 1.5x. That's too steep IMHO. Snipers costing 2x at...

    DYO - is it taboo?

    Hi guys, I've recently returned to the game and a few of my friends and I are re-learning via the SK method and then gradually adding additional chunks of the full rules as I learn it. We started out playing some of the SK2 scenarios, but when we progressed to SK3, we were kind of...

    Two-Player DYO SASL

    I have been tinkering for some time with an adaptation of the SASL, DYO and CG rules for use in historical engagments involving two players. The system I propose would allow players to select a theater of operations, nationalities, general force size, and an engagement type, all within...

    How often do you play point-purchase DYO?

    I tried to search for DYO polls, but of course the forum software excludes anything under four characters; a distinct disadvantage. Sorry if this has been covered before; is someone wants to point me to a previous poll, I'm happy to see the results there. Otherwise, the question is...

    Size of a Company in ASL terms....

    All, When you are using DYO for a scenario, what do you use to make the "Company-sized" elements you wish to play with? Chapter S has a good example. Are there any others beside the CG reinforcement charts in all the HASLs?

    Is DYO popular?

    I remember back in the day, in my first ASL coming of age, my buddy and I used to play a lot of DYO quick battles. We enjoyed being able to pick our own forces and try to outsmart each other in our force mixes. Often they didn't turn out too balanced, but that was part of the challenge...

    Using H Chapter to create scenarios

    The recently published Scenario design Guide done by Mark Pitcavage that I just finished reading, got me interested to do some scenario design on my own. I'm currently reading the Chapter H DYO in ASL rulebook, just wondering was there ever article published about Chapter H ? I would like to...

    Dyo

    I have noticed dyo is like highly frowned upon. This was our favorite way of play in the military. I also notice that most players mention balance when dissing DYO. This really puzzles me. VERY few actions in any conflict have been "BALANCED" Supperior terrain, leadership, troops, equitment...
