Here's one I can recommend -- great food for a reasonable price.

And right at the edge of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park if you want to get a little fresh air.

Does this AP use the crazy hill terrain rules or do the scenarios go by the normal hill rules in the ASLRB?

AP183 Patton's Ghost (49/68 + G/US)

Clarification - that's NK/US

AP184 The Order of War (2a/15a/85/18 + Hi8/Hi9 + NK/US/UN)

NK/US/SK

Yes

Wow, I am surprised not too see Jim Taylors name on that list. I wanted to go, but dental problems are forcing me to stay back this year.

You and me both, its sucks

NK/US/SK

Thanks - updated - not sure how I managed to mess those up...

James Taylor did just pre-reg yesterday - his ears must have been burning.

I believe only 3 of the scenarios have some form of steep hills: AP187 (at level 2+), AP188 (at level 2+) & AP190 (at level 3), so if you absolutely cannot stand steep hills you have 13 scenarios to choose from in the pack. And frankly, steep hills aren't that bad...

Ya, I have the unfortunate problem of coming from a gene pool with bad teeth, no matter how well I take care of them lol.

You and me both, its sucks

Thanks Pete, I am sure these scenarios will be fun to play but KWASL just is not my bag. Too complicated for my small old brain lol.

While I am considering combining steep hills and alpine hills -- I haven't found quite the situation for it just yet.

It's some great ASL ,Scott - and in fact plays a lot quicker. Less concealment, not many AFVs. Most complicated thing is probably the ChiComs-- but the context of the scenarios is not so much.

Hey Scott...I echo what Pete says...

If you can play the Japanese, you can play the ChiComs...they play like brittle Japanese. The only learning curve with the ChiComs is the Infantry Platoon Movement (IPM) and the exceptions to it...once you have that, they are a lot of fun to play. The summary chart that was in Rally Point #17 is an excellent tool to help you manage the ChiComs.

They represent a new challenge to master in the ASL universe on par with the challenges that the Japanese represented when they were introduced. A good mental challenge keeps the brain sharp.

Semper Fi!

Pre-Reg list now stands at 95 and at least 100+ seems likely at this point.

The Mini lists have been updated with info for Gor-Gor and Squad Bleeder: http://www.aslok.org/downloads/ASLOK_21_Minis.pdf
