Thanks guys for the welcome. I will definitely head over to the CASLO site and sign up for the novice tournament, it looks like I have timed this just right! Look forward to meeting some of the local community in the coming months.

My name is Rob. I signed up a few years ago but only in the last few days discovered the treasure trove of information here. I play face to face with my brother and a great group of guys in Spokane, Washington. Thinking about getting into VASL too but not sure if my marriage could survive it! I have only played regional tournaments like Enfilade and Game On but thinking about trying ASLOK for the first time this year. Sorry about reviving old threads. Didn't know it was looked down upon.

Don't worry about reviving old threads. There is some good information that is hidden within them.
Welcome aboard and continue to visit as often as possible.

Welcome Rob!
This forum is indeed one of the top sites for ASL. It seemed like a relevation to me when I found it in 2010. After a while, you will discover the different "characters" around here. We've got the incredibly patient ones, the gruffians, etc. etc. Generally a likable lot IMHO.There seems to be no rules question too obscure to be answered in rather short order and other interesting stuff.
Have fun. :thumup:

Hi Rob
I suspect you caught someone on a bad day with the 'zombie' thread thing. I don't think there is a problem resurrecting a thread if there is a good reason (just my opinion)
Anyway welcome and don't be put off starting your own threads with any points/questions you may have.

Agree 100%, if you feel you want to add something to a dead thread, do so, and ignore those who blow steam and cry you down, as all have said, welcome to the mob.
I agree, why start a new thread if there is an existing one. It does have the advantage that previous points are more readily available. I would just be careful that a dead 'un is closely matched to your question/comment. If the link between the past and your input is not fairly solid then a new thread would be better. Some find Lazarus acts distasteful, others not.
Anyway the main thing is welcome! You will find the good, the bad and one or two ugly here. There will be spats, rarely really nasty but they do occur, just get out the popcorn and enjoy the fur flying. Some have a snarky or braggart style but many of the same will be be quite helpful despite their outward demeanour.

Hi,
My name is Mark from Scotland, and I am brand new and fresh to ASL. I've been a keen board gamer for a few years and I've felt the calling for something deeper lately. After some research I discovered ASL. I've picked up Starter Kit#1 and #3, with a purchase of Decision at Elst looking more and more likely. For the present I will be playing mainly solo with hopefully some FtF when I have some confidence in the rules and my own actions.

Hi Mark, Mark in Joplin, Missouri here! Check out the ASL Google Players Map:
https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?msa=0&mid=ze3Eaii-ol2A.k01dpp5Hs6bs
There are a number of players up in your neck of the woods.
Don't worry about needing confidence in the rules before you play FtF; nearly every player will help teach you through the rules. The best way to learn is with an experienced player.
The main thing is to have fun while you play.

Hello,
I just joined the forum. I am returning to ASL after being away for over 15 years. I lost all of my games during Katrina and recently rebuilt my collection from MMP adding the starter kits to get back in the game. I hope to find someone to help me Learn VASL for PBM games or live via the common site. I live in the greater St. Louis area so I hope to get in some FTF play with the local club.

Hi Mark,
Welcome aboard. Decision at Elst is very fun to play. But it's a big time commitment.
If you don't own it yet, I would recommend ordering ASL Journal 10 from MMP. http://www.multimanpublishing.com/Products/tabid/58/ProductID/226/Default.aspx. It has a fantastic article in it by my friend Robert Wolkey "Beginner Blues"...many useful tips for new players.
Good luck.
Rob

Thank you for the link Rob. The journal looks like something I will pick up in the near future. The journals look to be a fantastic source of info and scenarios.
Cheers

They are really good value as well. Mostly if you own all the modules but even without they are still great
