Spreading Blaze 2023 - August 4th thru 6th

'Boardgame tournament'?? Is 'Spreading Blaze' as the reservation code too controversial in 2023? Are the reservation agents so fragile?

I guess 'cardboard flamethrowers and slaughter' or 'greasing our imaginary treads with the guts of our enemies' would be out then as the tournament code?

The honest truth is that I get tired of explaining to every Tom, Dick and Harry what the hell ASL stands for and what Advanced Squad Leader is, so I opted for something a bit more generic. It has nothing to do with sensitivity or controversy around war gaming.

I'm just kidding Gary and I hear you.

Many times there's an awkward silence and then, 'I don't see that' when I ask the reservation crew for the room block for a tournament. Then it's a dance for a few minutes while I try to guess the room block's name.

I thought your comment was likely a joke, you’re not one to stir the pot in that way. Looking forward to seeing you in August if not before.

Room is booked…reg on Thursday when I get there.

Anyone want to arrange something Thursday afternoon? Myself and Greg Quiroga will be there…like some team action, T&Q vs the world. Open to anything scenario wise…

adding Lone Canuck Publishing to the list of sponsors. I had mistakenly left George’s generous contribution off the previous list. It’s tough getting old and relying upon one’s memory.

What are the "VC errata" for DB157? The only errata I can find pertain to SSR #2.

You are correct. The note in the scenario list for the tournament is incorrect. Also Mountain Hunters has been updated as ASL 221, we mistakenly noted the previous scenario ID.

Was anything changed from the J129 version?
