Raise your hand if you have not played a scenario from the Forgotten War module

ASL 208 The Grist Mill? That got played at the ST. Louis tournament a couple of times in the last, 5th, round.

yes.

Rally Point #15: Special Study I of the Korean War will be released on 8/23/18. That's tomorrow.

It’s ASLOK time already?!

 

[djohannsen]

Not yet for me. I am excited to try KWASL, but I am still working my way to ASL competence. I've not yet played night, nor OBA, nor air support in ASL. KWASL will have its day once I progress a bit more as an ASL player.

 

[ChrisM]

Not yet.

Night Rules are not popular in my group, which eliminates several scenarios. in the box. I am intrigued though and would like to get one on the table (Maybe ROK and a Hard Place) on the table before year's end.

 

[Justiciar]

I wasn't playing anything from Forgotten War. I was playtesting for DTF.

Understood now.

If you are looking for a scenario from FW which you can play to say you played one, I suggest the Grist Mill [208]. It is small, infantry only with relatively few special rules. The Americans set up thinking, "can this be won?" but it is trending toward favoring the Americans a bit. I think it may be easy to set the North Koreans up wrong, and it should be nearly even.

This is good news, Evan. I've not played any FW scenarios yet but the Korean theme is cool. I think having more (daytime) scenarios out there, and maybe some more Korean-theme geoboards, would be a good boost in the right direction.

 

[Sully]

Not yet - waiting on the VASL counters

 

[Tom Morin]

Fake News! The boards are available on vasl.info. The mdx on the other hand...

Oops! I stand corrected, didn't know the boards were there.

Thanks Tuomo.

 

[Eagle4ty]

No, I have not played any scenario from Forgotten War because I haven't opened it yet because I am still sorting counters but had to stop that because I am waiting for Armies of the Oblivious but it has not been reprinted yet (ask MMP why not because I don't know) and I want to know how it might affect my sorting scheme.

Is that a good answer?

I would also recommend First Bayonet Charge (included in FW) for the same reasons. Yes, it does include Deep Snow, however for the special rules -averse, I would remind them that quite a large number of the battles during the Korean War were fought in conditions other than 'EC are moderate with no wind'.

This needs a HASL to go with it. So hand is raised.

Little interest in generic ww2 geo scenarios, even less for a conflict I have less interest in.

Don,
I designed eight of the ten scenarios in this pack and I will say that most of the existing geo-boards are not well-suited to Korea. If Korea is to grow among scenario designers, there will definitely need to be a few more boards.

The boards that come in FW will be useful for mountainous terrains like Italy.

There are some in the works...

 

[horseshoe]

Not yet. We have it, we opened it. we liked the look of it, we are playing a couple of CGs right now, so, its just sitting on the table waiting its turn in the que....

We have used two of the boards to represent another mountainous battlefield for our scenario pack - we were VERY pleased with the terrain now available.

 

[hayesncsu]

I have not. Really want to. Hatten was more attractive in the since I do not have to read/learn any new rules. After playing St. Nazaire I was ready for "basic" ASL again for a while!

 

[Spencer Armstrong]

I playtested a bunch years ago. I have played none since it came out and probably won't until there are other designs using the rules.

Evan, I agree that outside of the 4 new Korean theme boards that came with FW, the remaining geoboards don't look much like Korea. Certainly, some of them can be pressed into service, just as the original 'springtime in France' geoboards were pressed into service for other far off places (ie. Russia). Korean terrain was unique, but it is possible to prepare such Korean theme boards that could provide better coverage, and could even possibly be used for other theaters (ie. Italy). So, yes, we need more of these kinds of boards and I've spent some time preparing several sketches for eventual consideration by MMP. It would be great if an AP or some such release, included some additional Korean terrain - namely a Korean village, some valley or more open plain terrain, to name a couple ideas.
