Back to the ASL issues. Don 2 called this afternoon. I asked him to help with research at the US Naval Archives. But he explained that each American citizen is entitled to two hours of research there per a certain period. Maybe a lifetime limit. Don 2 did a great mockup (one dimensional, however.) of Fuji and it's quite extensive New Zealand force of Coast Artillery system in WW2. Mainly old 4.7"/40 and 6" batteries of an unknown type. He ran a great scenario at Historicon, staging a surprise Japanese attack on the considerable American force in the harbor, including the escourt carrier Long Island and two old WW1 era battleships. There was a great incident where a rather not so bright captain of a Japanese destroyer keep shooting at a stationary ship in the rather large harbor of Fuji. Finally, the young whippersnapper Japanese captain got so exacerbated that he rammed what turned out to be a large rock with a 4.7"/40 placed thereupon. Duh! Don 2 will soon construct a two dimensional mock up of Manila Bay and its famous Concrete Battleship, Fort Drum for two naval wargamers at next Historicon. It will be stored in my legendary attic after that time! Don 2 was unaware of the rule which creates both a roll on the Heat of Battle Table and the Leader Creation Table, upon a roll of snakes eyes in a Reaction Fire Attack. Can someone cite the rule source. Obscure, but a great rule!! Someone else mentioned a Perry Says concerning the situation which I had presented from my game with Steve. This was in regard to a potential Street Fighting attack if the game had continued. See above. But I was unaware of the ruling clarification by Perry, and my Reaction Fire attack apparently would not have been legal. Are these rule clarifications identifiable by date? I would like to explain this Perry Says to Don 2. Tim
