I’m a relatively new player who is thinking of picking up the pre-order of AoO. Any idea of finding out what scenarios I will and won’t be able to play?

I go back to SL days, when it could be years between anything more substantial than a pair of scenarios in the General appeared. Back then it was simple, "They are still doing SL/ASL?" - just buy it. The only time I had an issue was a scenario set on a board from AH's "Little Round Top", the American Civil War battle. Starting now must be a nightmare, especially given that ASL output both official and TPP has exploded over the last 5 to 10 years.Even finding what I need to order has been a chore.
Don't think of core modules in terms of the scenarios. Think of them in terms of building blocks of your set. They're toolboxes and components. Scenarios come from Journals, action packs and Friendly Fire.https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1081991/scenario-dependencies
Holy Moly, looks like I can play a total of two scenarios without DB or CdG. That’s a large pill for over $100. But I know the rule of get it while you can...
Oh, and welcome to ASL.Good way of thinking. I’ll keep that in mind.
That list is a little out of date by now, as it doesn't take into account either the reprint of Yanks, which includes boards 40 and 41, or the fact that the reprint will have substantially more scenarios.https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1081991/scenario-dependencies

You are so Knighted to update the file and distribute. Arise Sir Uncle DukeThat list is a little out of date by now, as it doesn't take into account either the reprint of Yanks, which includes boards 40 and 41, or the fact that the reprint will have substantially more scenarios.
The latter fact is particularly important, as some of the scenarios included will be from Partisan. Half of the Partisan scenarios will be playable right out of the box, and the other half will require only the addition of Boards 10 and 32.
This does not address the 13 other scenarios originally published in Journals, Action Packs, etc.
Thank you! Looking back through my BGG posts, it seems I did write ups for:Thanks for he welcome, it’s good to be here! And Duke, your BGG lists were a huge help. I look for them wherever I can.
When I get my hands on the reprint, I'll be sure to do just that. I'll need to do Hakkaa Päälle first though.You are so Knighted to update the file and distribute. Arise Sir Uncle Duke
Have you thought of combining them into a PDF? That would be a great play aid.Thank you! Looking back through my BGG posts, it seems I did write ups for:
Yanks (2nd Ed)
Partisan!
West of Alamein
For King and Country (buried in somebody else's thread)
The Last Hurrah
Hollow Legions
Code of Bushido
Gung Ho!
Croix de Guerre
Doomed Battalions (3rd Ed)
Armies of Oblivion (original printing)
Rising Sun
Here's the catch though-- Of these, I only own Yanks, For King and Country, and Rising Sun. Everything else was pieced together using info I found on the ASL Scenario Archive, so there's a decent chance it may be incomplete in some way. The likely error would be that if it had a weird Chapter H dependency that wouldn't be otherwise obvious.
And of course, most of these are four or five years old, so take them with a grain of salt.

I'd considered standardizing and collating them, but I hadn't thought of putting them together as a .pdf. That's a good idea though-- something to do when I have a couple spare hours.Have you thought of combining them into a PDF? That would be a great play aid.
