Ninja'dThe ad on the back cover of J14.
I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION BASED ON MR PERRY'S ANNOUNCEMENT OF THIS HASL FUTURE OFFERING THAT IT WOULD BE EXCLUSIVELY INVOLVING APRIL 1945 BATTLE OF BERLIN TYPE SENARIOS WITHIN BERLIN. HOWEVER, AFTER READING THE DESCRIPTION IN ASL JOURNAL 14 IM THINKING THAT ITS BROADER IN SCOPE AND WILL INCLUDE SCENARIOS INVOLVING THOSE ACTION OUTSIDE BERLIN AND LEADINNG TO THE PUSH TO BERLIN AND ACTION LEADING UP TO AND INCLUING BERLIN BUT NOT SOLEY BERLIN BASED SCENARIOS. YOUR THOUGHTS?Received AP 14 in the mail today and on the rear cover is a promo for Twilight of the Reich. What can anyone tell me about it? Date? scenarios? etc

It's not a Historical (HASL) product....I was under the impression based on Mr Perry's announcement of this hasl future offering...

Those Germans look in trouble, just like their real war comrades did later in the conflict.On the back of J14...View attachment 25884

Yeah, doesn't look promising for the boys in blue.And it looks like they’re about to become human s’mores.
I haven't played PTO yet but you certainly make it sound attractive Vic The Manilla HASL sounded pretty good I reckon, that seemed to be a way into PTO without having to worry about dealing with actual PTO terrain too muchNot interested in another blasted moonscape with the Marines out in the open, trying to use shell holes and crags for cover as the Japanese send holy hell on them from HIP caves and pillboxes. I'm much more interested in the jungle campaigns in Papua New Guinea, Burma and both Philippines campaigns, where at least there is some room for maneuver without being shot to pieces. The Japanese are much more fun when not sitting in a static defensive position, on the attack, when they still have good troops, is as much fun as combined arms on the Russian Front. I love much of the PTO theater (44-45 is awful for the Japanese for the most part) but not all of it. Massive firepower in a bug hunt is not my idea of ASL at its best. But to each his own, I understand why we still need to bring ALL actions of interest to ASL life.
You need to try them. It is a whole new ASL experience. Use european tactics and you will, rightly, suffer.I haven't played PTO yet but you certainly make it sound attractive Vic The Manilla HASL sounded pretty good I reckon, that seemed to be a way into PTO without having to worry about dealing with actual PTO terrain too much
I guess I'll get into it one day, the Japanese do sound like they would be fun to play
I didn't know that you had playtested some of those Martin, that's pretty coolI've seen and playtested a few of these s entries. They were not SSR heavy but several did use a fair number of overlays. As these were used to depict a railyard and station, they were not onerous nor unnecessary.
I've never been keen on the hip leaders and SW asi find it makes live play that but harder but works really well in vasl. I feel there is a tendency to move towards that as so much plastering is done via vasl.
I believe the theme of this pack is city fights so will trend toward late war east front as this is where most occurred.
Thanks Martin, yeah, for sure, I would like to play PTO at some point, something new to learn of course (and I have enough problems nailing down the basic game, heh,heh,heh )You need to try them. It is a whole new ASL experience. Use european tactics and you will, rightly, suffer.
I seem to recall that he once stated that due to his bad eyesight, he's using CAPS LOCK. I may be mistaken.He’s shouting
