The scenario list for the main event at CASLO is up!
What is your thinking behind the progressive rules increase? In my opinion people playing at CASLO should be using the entire ruleset in all rounds.
Also this scenario list is mostly very old scenarios. Part of what motivates players to come to an event is the opportunity to play newer scenarios. I'm interested in your thinking here.

Two things:
The Progressive Rules Increase was based on a conversation with a few local ASL gamers. For starters, the idea was to put a bit of a difference into this tournament this year. In years past, I've seen no real themes, just some scenarios. Many minis have themes from what I've seen: East Front, West Front, Desert, Infantry, etc. So, a bit of a twist on that, but mainly to force us (ie: me) to ensure that the entire rule book was being used at least by the end of the tournament, especially chapters F, G and W. That said, I do see G more than the other two, but again, just forcing the issue. And by the end, the tournament champion will have demonstrated his broad rules knowledge.
For the scenarios, I was looking at a few parameters, to include balance and time. I've seen too often where scenarios are a bit too long for a tournament and end up either in arbitration or worse, playing well into the night. As such, using available online resources (ASL Scenario Archive, ROAR, etc), there was a list made that included many older scenarios that have stood the test of time and rated well in terms of popularity. T4 "Shklov's Labors Lost" may be old AF, but it has been registered as played over 400 times and it fairly well balanced. So, for this one, went with tried, tested and true. Maybe it was risk-aversion on my part, hesitant to include a new one that turns out to be a dog or too long. So, all that to say is that I was going for balance and scenario length.
I do appreciate the feedback. Thank you.

I think anyone who has created tournament scenario lists appreciates your risk aversion!
Thanks. I mean, I want people to enjoy themselves, so the list is up early (3 months ahead of the tournament as of today. Give or take a few days). That way people can decide if they wish to give it a go. I like to think that there is enough variety available to make it an enjoyable experience.
