I am a "newbie" looking to get started in ASL and have a couple of questions....
Is the 2nd edition of the rulebook sufficiently different from the 1st edition to justify paying the extra amount (assuming I can even find a 2nd edition for sale!)
Is it necessary to buy all the modules with VASL available? I imagine you don't have the scenarios without the modules, but there are quite a few scenarios available for public download (ie MMP site has quite a number)....maybe better off to just "bite the bullet" and get the Beyond Valor, Yanks (and Paratrooper) modules? Would need to the modules for FtF, but not aware of any other players in my area, so will be limited to solitary, VASL and PBEM (with VASL)...
Are there play aid programs available? I've got the ASLAP program and it seems to be quite helpful...I also have heard of ASL GAP, but reviews on that don't sound too great....SALSA is available for solitary play -- anything else I'm not finding?
Anything else a "future prospect" should know?
Thanks for any help!
