I may get a chance over the holidays to initiate someone into the joys of ASL. This would have me running the game, interpreting DR results etc, with the other player mostly being asked "What do you want to do now?" and of course, pointing out options with a general (i.e. no rules reciting) outline of pros and cons.
The rules-knowing player in such a game would have quite an advantage in this situation, I expect, so I think some from of odds would be appropriate, similar to how queen, knight or rook odds can be offered in chess. If it's a question of adding some extra squads or AFV's, the specific odds would have to be different for every scenario, I think, so perhaps a negative DRM/drm for IFT/TH/TK/MC/TC rolls would be best... -1? -2?.
Has anyone ever tried giving someone odds before and if so what form did it take?
