I cannot say how happy I am to have discovered these forums. Not only can I learn more about ASL, now I can spend even more "work" hours purusing my hobbies on the internet!
I was a big fan back when SL first appeared. I was in my early teens then, and I must have played Guards Counterattack a gajillion times. I stopped playing shortly after GI came out as girls and partying began to take precedence over board gaming. All my stuff went to the flea market where it was quickly snatched up by someone who obviously knew better than I did.
Now, many years and one divorce later I found Mr. Pitcavage's website while looking for scenario ideas for my miniature wargaming club. That got me fired up to jump into ASL, and over the last year I have been collecting and slowly learning/relearning the rules. I am trying to get my local mates to jump on the ASL bandwagon with me. The rule book still scares them, but hopefully the starter kits can pave the way. So far, the few that have joined me in a game have managed to put together a perfect string of victories against me. If you ever need an easy win at a tournament, apparently I'm your man.
A special thanks to everyone who has contributed a guide or who has a webpage with ASL resources. You all have made learning this game fun and more than a little easier than it would be otherwise.
Anyway, nice forums filled with what appear to be nice people. I hope some day to be able to speak in abbreviations and refer to rule sections with the best of you.
Cheers!
