#53: The Meat Grinder

[daveramsey]

We look at Tuomo vs Tom's The Meat Grinder, for the final of the tourney and have a brief play of some PC games that were inspired (perhaps) by ASL.

It's only an hour - despite what it might look like. (Youtube is reprocessing the video as we speak..)

Close Combat was originally an Avalon Hill product:

Close Combat (series) - Wikipedia

There are other cases of simplified versions of ASL. This one, I was told, came from the games designer playing ASL and wanting something easier:

Band of Brothers: Screaming Eagles

Band of Brothers system with the 101st Screaming Eagles - combat with no charts.

My occasional F-t-F opponent Aaron gave up ASL and went to this system. He is now converting ASL scenarios to it:

Band of Brothers Ripe Pickings Turn 3

Turn 3 of the converted ASL scenario Ripe Pickings.
