Special Ops #8 is Up for Ordering

[pwashington]

Not ASL exclusive content, but does contain two ASL and two ASLSK scenarios (although the other content does look interesting). If you are a completist, you'll have to order. Awaiting the shipping notice for my copy...

A hypothetical battle and 2 ASL scenarios for 38 bucks is just not worth it for me too buy.

 

[Paul M. Weir]

For me it's half ASL completist and half having something wargaming that isn't ASL. Between Sp Ops and GMT's C3I each roughly once a year, that is just about right to keep that itch of mine scratched.

There’s also a Red Barricades article about various Russian setup considerations for Oct 17

Really delving into those new ASL products, then......

I am going to pick it up and expect to enjoy the scenarios and the alternate history invasion of Japan. Keeping Perry well fed is a side benefit.

Ditto.
If the game inserted in the mag corresponded with a topic which interested me, I would perhaps order it...
But, strangely, I never liked Whatifs.
I am sure, however, that quite enough people will purchase the magazine, and all the better for them.

Why is the map for the Avenge Pearl Harbor printed upside down? North shoud always face upward.

The printing runs at least three directions, so I think the image is just arbitrarily oriented for the website.

Always fun to watch the guys who boast about buying (and shelving) multiple copies of core modules they already own then complaining about not having money to 'waste' on Operations. Priceless.

Well, not exactly.

Elves, for example, are known to point their maps to the West, i.e. inot the direction of Valinor from Endor.

This would still not explain why the map-elves elected to design that map with South upwards, though.

The labeling is oriented in one direction. North is pointing to lower right. This would get you an F in Architecture class.

Everyone knows you put east at the top of the map, towards Jerusalem and the Garden of Eden. That's why maps are properly "oriented" and not "occidented," "septentrioned," or "meridioned."

Not to mention, very "viking" in its approach to a world view.

It is more about the sunrise, as the biblical texts speak of that orientation from within the land - with "right" (yāmîn) designating the South.

Getting my hands on mine this Sunday. Will probably play the psudo-historical game first as it turns out one of the guys here likes those sort of things.
