I'm Caleb, its nice to meet you!

[Allegedlycaleb]

Hello all,

My name is Caleb, and I am a 25 year old from the sunny city of Los Angeles, California. I am an HR professional who enjoys wargaming in my free time when I am not with my fiancé.

My favorite wargame is Advanced Squad Leader (mostly SASL), and currently I am working on a Polish Campaign that involves a strategic scale map with battles that are resolved in ASL. I also enjoy games like Ardennes 44 and similar wargames, The Operational Art of War 4 (TOAW4), and Gary Grigsby games.

I am also a major soccer (or football) fan, and I have been a Manchester City fan since I was 14 and all my friends were fans of the other Big 6 teams in the Premier League.

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and making some new friends!

Hi fenyan, thanks for letting me know about the socalasl club. I live around the Noho area, and 2 of the locations that the club plays at are relatively near me. How do materials work for the club? I mostly play off of vassal and have only bought the full rulebook, SASL, the first 3 ASLSKs, and Poland in Flames, so don't have many materials I could bring.

Hi dlazov,

Thanks! I've actually been reading through your 194 IR, 71 ID SASL campaign game AAR and have been mightily entertained by it thus far. I'm thinking I might make my own campaign game AAR thanks to you.

Also, I have to say that I love your signature.

Caleb, Bring some dice and a glass cup or dice tower to toss them in, if you have it. The QDRC charts would be good as well. Enough people bring their kit (maps & counters and scenarios) so don't worry about that. Basically just show up on time (2pm at Paper Heroes, 10am at Odyssey). If there's even numbers we just pair up. If odd numbers, we set up one three player game. So everybody plays!


Starter Kit and Poland in Flames that's quite the combination! We have a guy who prefers Starter Kit but plays full ASL as well.

Thanks for the info fenyan, I'll have to come to a session one of these weekends!

I bought Poland in Flames so I'd have access to the scenarios, and I just play them on Vassal with the mod that adds the specialty PIF units. I also found some custom made Poland sasl charts with the PIF units so that I can play with them in sasl without just using allied minors.

Starter kit was how I learned, and I played through all the scenarios for over a year before I dove into full asl.
