I can see your point about repurchasing, although I will most likely order the new CdG for the (presumed) better quality counters. Dinant is certainly CdG's icing on the cake and worth waiting for.
Dinant HASL
- Thread starter Phlegm
- Start date
Going on previous MMP behaviour I suspect that a limited number of Dinant only modules might become available for direct purchase only (none shipped to retailers).
They are currently offering a direct sale RO only version of RF (IE RO+RB) and when AoO was on pre-order offered AoO with mounted maps, with SK style maps and finally a direct sale version with no maps for those who had already had bought the maps separately.
While ideally I would like one copy each of a Dinant only and a full version, I will be happy enough to buy a pair of the combined sets and am very much in the same boat with regards to RF.

It's been a while since I posted here. Carl has the CG guys churning along and tightening the rules up.
You guys asked for some sound effects. Here ya go.

I spent an entire day playing this with Dolan at Winter Offensive 2017 and had a pretty damn good time ... looking forward to seeing this in production.

<BLAM!> excellent news <BLURRRPPP! BLURRRPPP!>
I could use someone that loves CGs to test out a CG at ASLOK. I have an opponent already lined up for the above scenario pictured but have found that my table is NOT big enough to hold both Dinant maps!!! ASLOK will have that space. I have the time. Anyone willing to forego scenarios early on and test this with me?
All I have been doing for 35+ years is playtest it seems for SL, then ASL. For me it's more important for the game design to succeed rather than for me to hang another plaque on the wall that only few in my life care to see. If I am to be remembered for anything with ASL, I hope it is for the help I gave for all those who wanted to see their ideas in print. I read continuously of players bashing this or that product but do not read often enough about players offering to help. ASL needs more playtesters. Always has, always will.
Also, if YOU who are reading this have something in the works for ASL then I can reciprocate and help you with your idea at ASLOK. Note that this Dinant HASL is not mine. The designer is an old friend I have known for over 30 years. We both probably do not have 30 MORE years left.
PM me if interested. If not, please consider putting aside the quest for ASL glory (does that really exist?) and help keep this hobby alive and thrive.

1. I come to ASLOK to find a big table.
2. I don't like what most people are doing there.
3. As my contribution to the game is very valuable, people should acknowledge how great a guy i am.
I hope not to have twisted your message

All in good fun.

Those are your words, not mine. Only #1 is accurate.
The thread is not about me, it is about this really cool HASL that I am having a lot of fun with. Testing for so many years does not mean I am a "great guy". Just means I am friggin' old!
I have already gotten two testers for ASLOK--even a possible third, so thanks to all who responded. For those attending ASLOK, stop by and see what is going on. What I especially like about this idea is that it will try to introduce an aspect of WWII that the system has yet to tackle: bridging a river during play. Once done, this can open up a lot more ASL projects in the years to come.
Here are more pics of the scenario in play:
French are defending very well.

Brian is doing some great work on Dinant. Him and Rich N.are currently playing the 6 board scenario representing the breakout from the Dinant bridgehead. It's a bit meaty so I'm awaiting their opinions.
Attached is some pictures from their game. The objective is outlined in red
