You only get to have the Rulebook, Beyond Valor v3, Yanks v2, For King and Country, Rising Sun, and the DASL boards. That's it. No extra scenario packs, Action Packs, Annuals/Journals, free online scenarios, TPP products, no VASL stuff, Historical modules, etc. For the rest of your life.

But, you now get to choose 10 additional MMP core modules, Annuals, Journals, Action Packs, any TPP products, MMP/TPP scenario packs or MMP/TPP Historical modules, etc. For the rest of your life. Remember, you're going to lose out on some mapboards if you don't select some Action Packs making some scenarios unplayable. Can you survive the cravings without Red Barricades? For the rest of your life? No cheating, no combining. 10 only.

What 10 do you choose? And why?

Well you could pick the Map Pack and the Supplemental Map Pack. With those 2 picks you should be good for maps.

Rulebook is up-to-date (with the pages available on website, erratas from Texas ASL and pages/dividers from HP) ?

If yes, then :
- West of Alamein (to have the Desert)
- Hollow Legions (as above)
- Croix de Guerre (French)
- Red Factories
- Blood Reef Tarawa
- Festung Budapest
- Doomed Battalions
- Armies of Oblivion
- Map Pack
- Supplemental Map Pack

And I fill up an iPad with all www-available scenarios (and there are a lot).

...and leave room for a new HASL...Dinant, Ortona...

Why?
It's all about the HASLs!
Varied scenarios are nice, but if I can't have a good campaign game, I'll play a different game.

Here's mine:

Hollow Legions - gotta have the Italians and the scenarios in this module are fabulous.
Blood & Jungle - more PTO goodness to go with Rising Sun.
Valor of the Guards - my favorite set of scenarios from one of my favorite designers.
Poland in Flames - I will get my Allied Minor fix from here, plus 7-1, 9-0 and 10-1 leaders.
Korean War - Been looking forward to this one for years.
Festung Budapest - Great scenarios, great maps and 4 different CGs.
Red Factories - Two for the price of one.
Action Pack 9 - must have the Fort style PTO boards and those scenarios.
Armies of Oblivion - need to have the Axis Minors.
Crucible of Steel - can never have too much East Front and you get a boat load of scenarios.

I would load up on historical modules and campaign games, and fill up the rest with scenario packs that give me the most scenarios I can play with the material I got. For specifics, I would have to do some research first.

I did some research...

* I would rather include two more modules/scenario packs than the two mapboards packs.
* I thought Poland in a Flames offers more value than Doomed Battalions.
* Surprisingly, I don't need the French or the Desert.
* Never will like Bocage.
* I'm not much of a CG player, so I picked the three best historical modules with the best scenarios, with the understanding that Fort/Kibler are going to include some awesome scenarios in Red Oktober to raise the level of the subpar Red Barricades scenarios.
* PTO all day and twice on Tuesday.

Fills out the core modules I want

Map Pack 1

Should have any board necessary to play the scenarios I desire.

Journal 3
30 scenarios

Crucible of Steel
Kursk! Need I say more?

My last two choices are left open so that I may buy future products.

Surprising that you have two TOT packs. I have them, but never played too many.

What are your Top 5 TOT scenarios from these two packs?

Hey Rob!
It's been quite a while since I've played any of them, but here's the ones I remember being fun;
Balkan Barbecue
Dogs of War(of course...)
Steel Eyed Boys
one from #3 with a Stürmtiger in it(?)
Tigers At The Gate(uses RR overlays)
Franzen's Roadblock
There's also some in the MM'98 pack which are good fun as well.
The thing I liked about the TOT/KE stuff was that it had its own "flavor".
Maybe it was the SSRs(which never bothered me), or that they just felt different from the AH ASL stuff at the time.

Actually Spencer is not doing too badly with German, Finnish, Axis Minor and Hungarian coloured StuG. Of course HP brought in an extra 4 German StuG III (L) to bring the number up to the originally incorrect number of 6 in RuBk v2.

Hey - maybe room for a StuG-Only scenario pitting German StuGs vs. some Axis Minor / Hungarian defector-StuGs.
Conceivably Spencer's ASL-heaven cleansed from everything unworthy?
