Old school SL aficionado seeks intro to ASL - and opponents.
Where do you live?Old school SL aficionado seeks intro to ASL - and opponents.
Not yet. (...nyetI assume you've looked into the ASL Starter Kits?
Springfield, Missouri.Where do you live?
Good luck!Not yet. (...nyet). Been playing basic SL solo since I discovered it in closet. COI adds sufficient complexity I decided to skip straight to ASL. Psyched to discover site! What ASL products do I need to get started?
Okay then. You've come to the right place. Keep in mind, however, that to "skip straight to ASL" you will need to at least purchase the Beyond Valor Core Module ($132), plus the ASL Rule Book ($96 and currently out of stock). Assuming you can't find those two items used for cheaper. OR you can find someone who has already invested in the game system to show you the ropes. OR... you could dip your toe in the water with Starter Kit #1 ($28) and a very manageable 12-page rulebook which will introduce you to the infantry and support weapon essentials of ASL to see if investing into the big game is what you really want.I decided to skip straight to ASL.
There is an ASL tournament at St Louis in July, think about it. I commend you for going straight to ASL, seeing how you are a SL vet the transition becomes kinda intuitive with the whole +1/-1, ROF kinda thing going on. You don’t need training wheels to play some infantry only ASL until you’re ready for more crazy stuff.Springfield, Missouri.
(Just because you are paranoid does not mean someone is not out to get you)
I agree with Bob. If you've played SL just go for it. Buy a used copy of the rules, Beyond Valor or whatever and go for it, Just play, have fun, and kick Bob's butt in St, Louis!There is an ASL tournament at St Louis in July, think about it.

Do to listen to the fools that temp you with ‘SK this’ or ‘SK that’. You’re on the right path. See ya in St Louis.
Thanks! St. Louis here I come (after sufficient prep fire of course). Not only did you rally me - I damned near went berserk! I already ordered the basic ASLSK. Thanks again.

Looky here:Where should I go to get started on VASL?
This is the place to go. In the VASL section of the ASL forum, you will also find advice for technical issues and information about the current versions of VASSAL and VASL.Where should I go to learn more about VASL? doodle jump
Please note that you can get the electronic rulebook instead. Look here:Okay then. You've come to the right place.
