Hi All

Either I am feeling controversial or I am needing to feel like a social worker and support the ASL NEWBIE but...

I just read SPECIAL OPERATIONS Mag 2 and its GOOD FOR ASL :)
(actually has taken me a while to find 30-40 mins but I think you and I might miss the point if you read the other thread so I thought I would speak up!)

WHy (risking multiple custard pie tosses!) - I think the other thread is making a small but valid point only that there is no ASL game there... but for the NEWBIE there is 3 excellent SK ASL things!

Finally a replay of an SK game - we needed this for the Total Good of The Community - Replay games I think helped us all growing up with teh grand tactics of grand Masters - I took the time (since all the negative sentiment in the other thread) to read it - It was well done, clear - excellent (usual MMP) standard

Then there are two good SK scenarios - both seemingly familar (were they new or re-hash?) - HAving said that - I WOULD PLAY THEM if I were a NEWBIE as they are nice looking scenarios

SO I ask you the public of ASL out there - is this Just the rant of an AUssie, is my 2 cents not worth even 1 New Zealand Dollar (could not help myself :clown:)

We Should Support ASL Products for the Newbie (ie SK stuff that helps develop more player for me to loose to :cry:)
and...
Not trash this thread about how MMP is loosing its edge etc etc - cause they didnt- I believe they tried to help our beloved Hobby :clap:

Maybee the MOderators should place this in the SK thread? to let them know its a value product for them

Rob :clown:

PS- For someone who never plays anything other than ASL ?WHat do I DO with all these other things in the magazine ?????:nuts:

(I think) the replay is for one of the two SK scenarios included in the mag called Few and Far Between.

The Ripples on the Pond article in Special Ops #1 mentioned a replay coming for that scenario, and I missed the Operations that contained the replay, that is why I ask.

Thanks, Chas!

And thanks, Rob, for the mini-review!

Hi all

Me again

Now the series Replay is as Chas Said for the Scenario in the Journal S33 Far and Few Bewtween

Really a nice little slug fest between 6 Dutch Squads on board will only two LMGs (1.5 more neter later) and 7.5 Germans with a DC and two LMGs and a nic elittle Pz2A (4FP of fun)
The Replay had it close - in 4.5 turns Germans attack - shoot bad , break and loose
SOunds like What I would do! - that probably why I like it and it is nice for the Newbie - good explanations

So hopefully That answers those Questions

To Chas - you need to read more and send me a LOG! :nuts:

:
I really enjoy ASL and I really enjoy playing you Rob but really, it does not excite me this much:eek:


I wont buy this edition of SO but have the first one once it went onto offer.


I beleive we need to be more positu=ive towards MMP and the OPps etc. does it matter if it does not have any ASL in it? sure we are all so very short of scenarios to play:clown:
