I get it, your opinions differs, that doesn't make mine bollocks. -- jim

...actually, a difference of opinion means each side thinks the others is bollox...otherwise there would be no difference of opinion.

Not necessarily. If you believe the Earth is flat, Imma call that bollocks. If you prefer blondes, that's a reasonable opinion.

 

[Spencer Armstrong]

If you prefer blondes, that's a reasonable opinion.

No, that's just low taste.

Wait, are you saying the earth is actually round? ?

Not really. It is oblate with lots of pointy bits.

I’ll put you down for, ‘don’t care, I just like it.’

Bollocks is as bollocks does. ;p

The correct ideology is..."it doesn't matter anyway and I just like the IIFT"...which, oddly enough, is the same reason people use the ift.

No, we just disagree. I don't like chocolate ice cream (lets call that the iift), that doesn't mean chocolate ice cream doesn't have merit and that some will find it suits their taste, I just prefer strawberry (lets call that the IFT). Opinions can always vary, that's how we end up with ice cream Sundays. -- jim

Whoa, hold it here!
I think we have an argument at this point: I think we should not talk about chocolate ice cream here in this context but blondes.

Why not chocolate ice cream AND blondes. Or even strawberry ice cream and brunettes?
And don't forget Strawberry blondes and rocky road ice cream.

You liking strawberry explains a lot

Not if she has good hygiene

I must confess something: Baskin Robins has a flavor they call "World Class Chocolate". It is the only flavor of chocolate ice cream which I like. I get it every time I go to BR. -- jim

Like red heads, strawberry is either super hot, or super sloppy. There is no middle ground. -- jim

It’s s tube isn’t it with everything on the inside........

I believe ASL prides itself on realistic details, not realism. Things like a Panther is bigger and faster than a Matilda. After that, it is a game with realistic details, not a simulation of real combat.

 

[mi80j]

A while ago I made my own ASL style game on VASSAL and 'fixed' these and other issues.

Sounds like Critical Hit's "Advanced Tobruk System".

"But I don't expect others to embrace my ideas."

Don't let the door...

 

[Joelist]

Fortified building behavior is a detail not a core system element. Adjusting it so that defenders can actually, you know, DEFEND in a fortified location is not changing basic ASL.

 

[mi80j]

Except in these scenarios such punch rolling is impossible. The second you do not have good order units in even one exterior hex of the building the building can be easily entered - circumventing the whole point of fortified buildings.

ASL prides itself on realism. Well this is possibly the single most UN-realistic element in the game system - small arms fire at more than very short ranges is way overpowered.

What other UN-realistic elements do you see in ASL? And, what do you propose to rectify this absolutely abysmal situation?
Let me guess... You have mapsets for sale (that may or may not contain counters, but that do have scenarios of, to put it mildly, of murky provenance) or, at least, to recommend?
