Which sounds like a good way to go, especially when you have a cat!

Unfortunately, Java doesn't seem to like my computer. I am working on that.
Lol FOBA hasn't figured out yet how to get through the monitor's screen but that doesn't stop them from trying!😉

Was obsessed with getting tank across the river on kleine grosse flosse (?) In Dinant Bridgehead. Could care less about winning the scenario, had to get that tank across. Good times!!!
I can't remember the name of it now but there was a scenario add on that followed The Dinant Bridgehead covering the tank battle to the west versus 1st DCR. It was Pz 38(t)s, Pz IVs and Stukas versus a host of Char B1 bis and H39s with infantry support on both sides.

This one could use an ASL update so it can fill in a gap in the French armoured battles like "Counterattack at Stonne" and "Swann Song". I would wager it might breath some new life into "The Dinant Bridgehead" as well

I was very fond of all those Crescendo of Doom scenarios. Covered a period that I had little gaming experience with. France 1940 being the only game I recall playing that covered that time.

Don 2 (Don Carlucci) and I played Breakout to B.... some years ago while one of the minature conventions at the Host Resort here in Lancaster County. We had such fun. I was winning until I got aggressive with my T34 and drove her to point blank range against an inferior German tank. Not did he DI my T34, but her cowardly crew bailed out! That is the only classic ASL monster scenario that I have ever played. Great fun. Don is the ballistics specialist for the allegedly unsavory company Critical Hit. He also paints my WTJ ships. Masterful minature painter. He and the Army Depot crew are commanding the Japanese fleet of 1914 against the Texas, two Kansas class predreadnoughts, and two Pittsburg class armored cruisers. The rival Rand team lead by Sean Barnett and Jeff Morgan slaughtered the first batch of Japanese ships at Fall In of 2019. But this time, Don has painted a WTJ Kongo for the Fort Pitticanny team, and we seek to teach the over confident American team, now lead by John Gordon, a lesson. Tim

People are wanting to know what is the most monstrous of monster scenarios. I think I may have found the answer.

This is from MMP's description of Red Factories scenarios:

"The RED BARRICADES scenario "The Last Bid" and the RED OCTOBER scenario "Men of Steel" may be combined to form one giant scenario."

Sounds like we either have four players, or two guys with a LOT of time on their hands!

Or for a solitaire player--a lifetime of fun!

Would be nice to play this just once.
The Ottawa ASL guys did. I played for 1 day. See Doug's AAR with photos.

Thanks. That was incredible. There is no way that is going to be set up in my apartment--just not the space!

It's funny, as they talked about the number of players I was thinking, "But what about social distancing and masking? How did you do that?"

Then I realized the game was played in the good old days when these were not an issue.

How I miss those days.
