AoO
FWIW, regarding the "nobody will play AoO, just like DB" thing, I disagree.
For one, people screamed for "Dutch Trucks" because most of the time it was going to be coupled with the Axis Minors. Green Meanies was referring to both sides for quite a while, till it got split into two, DB and AoO.
For two, I expect to play the AoO scenarios quite a bit, assuming they are as good as has been leaked. I played the DB scenarios and enjoyed them, and I expect these mostly East Front actions to be even better.
Moving on to other AoO gripes: For three, I never bought the boards because I thought that AoO was imminent. How many years has that been now? I've lost count. To use them I have to either play VASL or use someone elses boards. I ain't buying them separately because I am not guaranteed the opportunity to buy the boardless AoO in the future.
And finally: For four, scenario designers want the Axis Minor 5/8" counters. There's wasn't much to use the Allied Minor vehicles for, but the Axis Minors fought for 3+ years, there's lots of actions to be portrayed.
Hey Brian. C'mon, man. Play hooky and skip the Gamers boxes this weekend. Work on some more AoO counters. Maybe we can all chip in some cash to send Luanne some flowers to take her mind off of the fact that Brian spent the whole weekend in the basement. Tulips? Pansies?
And no, I still don't know what the Gamers line is and I don't care. ASL rules.
