Hello to all my ASL Comrades. Hoping everyone has had a
good start to 2017 and want to give you my latest update on
our ASL Newsletter Dispatches from the Bunker.
We are now in full playtesting mode for what will be our
Special 20th Anniversary Issue #44. This one will include
another Tom Morin HASL Classic, this time the subject is
the fighting at Rees Germany, along the Rhine River in 1945.
The British 51st Highland Division was tasked with clearing the
town from a mix of veteran Falschirmjaegers and Volksturm.
We will have 5 scenarios, a campaign game and a HASL map
with instructions on how to either print it out at home or bring it to
a professional printer to print it out as a poster. The scenarios range
from a smaller tourney sized one up to a mini-monster covering the
whole map. In any event we are extremely proud of this project and
Tom's incredible knack for research and bringing that data to life in our
ASL game system. Look for #44 later in March.
As for current Issue #43, we have a 7 page part 2 of
Carl Nogueira's Tactical Tips article 'Look Out Below' on Air Support
in ASL plus an ASL Confessional from our own Ralph McDonald
on how ASL helped save his life. We also have extended coverage
of our local tournament scene and all our usual features.
See summaries below of the 4 scenarios we included in #43:
A Thorn in the Side - Nice tourney sized action by Ted Wilcox with
an all-out assault by Japanese Elite Squads from a Special Tank
Hunter Detachment attacking up hill vs Elite British troops with
the goal of knocking out the British tanks on the Hill-tops on Bd 5b.
One Last Victory - Joe Gochinski has another in the Operation
Nordwind series, with Elite SS from the 6th SS Nord Division
trying to take the village on Bd 67 vs a mixed company of USA
infantry. Tourney sized and plays quick in this all infantry
battle.
A Deadly Landscape - Great looking battle on a small area of the RB
map as December 42 draws to a close with a deadly stalemate
turning against the German. Andy Hershey has a unique SSR which'
allows the Snipers to add VPs to both sides as they cause casualties.
Very FUN Stalingrad action suitable for a tournament time frame.
March on Marche - The largest of the offerings this times sees the
German Blitz come to Marche in France. Mike Augustine has the
tip of Rommel's 7th Panzer Division securing the bridge over the Ourthe
River then trying to wrest Marche from a combined French force
with tanks and cavalry. German mobility is the key and the French
must counter their advances on Bds a & 3a.
For those unfamiliar with Dispatches, it is a 12 page Amateur
ASL Newsletter that comes to the greater ASL Community twice
a year, sometime in March and September courtesy of the New
England ASL Community, including the Bunker Crew and our yasl
Brothers in Southern New England. It typically contains 4 New Scenarios,
Analysis of each one, a Main Article on any aspect of the game system,
Tactical Tips, ASL News and Tournament Updates from our region.
Re-subscriptions for any current subscriber are $14.00 for a 4
Issue subscription. Anyone not a subscriber who wants in can
