So we're less than 90 days from kick-off. Any rumors on what new products we may see? Just trying to ensure the budget is aligned properly.
ASLOK 2023 Releases?

There will be an ASLOk Action Pack this year. (Might be the last one)

Are you saying there will no longer be ASL Action Packs after this? So Action Pack #18 will be the last Action Pack ever?

I interpreted it as this might be the last ASLOK Action Pack.

Agree, although I would further qualify it as maybe the last Action Pack he does for ASLOK. There could be other APs in the future, but I wouldn't anticipate we would see them on a regular basis. There could even be non-AP releases, although unfortunately I think the days of picking up 2-3 new scenario packs at ASLOK each year from various producers are probably over.

Pete, let me know (pm me if necessary) how I can help keep the ASLOK Action packs going. I have many scenarios in waiting and could spare a few for this effort.

Well Brian that might be what it would take.
With this pack to use the last of the late Bill Sisler's scenarios and maps, I would have to do most of the heavy lifting going forward. I am not sure if I can keep up the pace.
(I am trying to move on to other creative game design things not called ASL.)

Here's me being a bit more philosophical:
Bill Sisler was one of the top movers behind the original Action Packs -- and certainly then the ASLOk ones. So, his last (AFAWK) work would be a good place to stop.
Plus-- I need to make myself available for the final work on Slaughter at Ponyri. (Maybe we do an ASLOk release of that?)
For myself -- my ASL design future will be focused on DASL/KW. If we can get another AP out of that-- great. It might look more like a WO pack, though.

HKW- do you consider the Winter Offensive Bonus Packs "Action Packs"?

Naaa, Pete called it an ASLOK Action Pack.

So, I say this without intending any offense to ASLOK aficionados, nor with any lack of appreciation for past ASLOK APs, but for me, and maybe for others, who have never attended nor ever will attend ASLOK, there is NO PARTICULAR ALLURE to the ASLOK "theme".
Unit themed APs, theatre themed, rules themed, lots of other possibilities yes, please to more Action Pack.
Again, no disrespect meant.

No particular theme intended -- but as it has turned out, a lot of 'late war' and some KW scenarios.

Currently we have 16 scenarios if they all make it. -- mostly Bill Sisler's and mine.

How many DASL? Budapest is crying out for a Pete Shelling DASL scenario…with falling rubble and debris

Not in THIS AP -- maybe one KW deluxe

Pete you just keep forcing me to play KW DASL! One day I may even try a regular Korea scenario.
Gotta say it again; try the KWASL, wade into the KWASL, embrace the KWASL. I think it is well worth the time invested.
No problem then! i AM currently researching KWASL and have many ideas to put forth. We will talk at ASLOK!
