Sad News.

So I have an iMac that is pretty beefy (40 megs of RAM and 1 TB SSD) and on it I can and do from time to time run VASL. But my primary means of using VASL has been in a Windows 10 VM that is also pretty beefy. Well this morning when I got on my PC and went to my Windows VM, it had restarted. Well the main issue with that is that I have not saved my in progress VASL SASL game. The last save I have had is from game turn 2. The reason so, is that since the LOS tool is broken (see my other posts elsewhere), I decided to just run with it. Well this has cost me.

So I have a save at Game turn 2. I will have to fast forward things using my screenshots (luckily I have those) and will take me a while to rebuild everything...sadfacenothappy.

Stays ?, beyond range to fire

Sgt. Shultz and 1st Line squad move into BFPLP10 and S? in BFPLX8 checks for AC#.
Its a dummy.
Sgt. Shultz makes into to wooden building BFPLP9.

1st Line squad J double times and when it enters BFPFR6 it's spotted by BFPLQ5 at 10 hexes away (squad J is moving in the open).

Just a couple of notes for your edification:

1). As shown in the pics the ATG is possessed by the HS and would cause inexperienced crew penalties (A4.43 POSSESSION: All SW/Gun counters belong to the first Personnel unit stacked beneath them.)

2). Since the 25mm ATG fired at a concealed unit there would be no acquisition gained (C6.5 CASE N; ACQUIRED TARGET: When a Gun (including the MA and SA [Secondary Armament, as per Chapter H Vehicle Listings], of vehicles [EXC: not FT or LATW]) of ≥ 20mm other than a mortar fires at (not Interdicts) a Known unit or a bridge, it may place a ½" -1 Acquired counter on its target...). Also the 25LL ATG is limited to firing only AP ammo so it may NOT use the ATT to gain a 5/8" acq. either (C3.33 AREA TARGET TYPE: The Area Target Type must be used at all times by mortars and whenever ordnance [EXC: LATW] attempts to fire SMOKE; otherwise it may be selected when firing HE (but not AP/HEAT HE Equivalency; 8.31). ).

For item #1, I know about possession and I was totally sloppy when I threw the counters in the map, my bad and I’ll restock them correctly.

For item #2, totally forgot about acq and concealment, thanks for the assist there. Totally duffus up the French AT. Shamefacehideredfacesadman
